JULIAN McMAHON has left FBI: Most Wanted after three seasons.
The Aussie actor said he decided to leave the show after playing FBI agent Jess LaCroix since 2020.
Why did Jess leave FBI: Most Wanted?
Producers have been tight-lipped about why Julian left the series, but the actor has suggested that he will be pursuing other roles.
The decision came just months after actor Kellan Lutz also decided to leave the show.
In a statement, Julian told Deadline: “Over the past few months, the producers of FBI: Most Wanted and I have had discussions about my departure from the show in favor of additional creative pursuits and the transition of my character Jess LaCroix.
“These ongoing conversations have given us an opportunity to orchestrate a seamless and productive way for me to leave the show."

He added: “I would like to express the gratitude and admiration I have had working with [executive producers] Dick Wolf and Peter Jankowski.”
“I’m extremely proud of the work we have done together and put the development of this show, and my character Jess, at the top of my professional experience list.”
Julian’s character Jess is the head of the FBI's Most Wanted unit, which handles the bureau's most extreme cases.
According to wiki fan media, the Fugitive Task Force agent “explicitly trusts his team and looks out for the younger agents.”

The page adds that LaCroix is often reticent about his private life and even his agents know that it is not a line to cross.
The character has a daughter called Tali with his late wife Angelyne - who is predominantly cared for by his parents in law.
He works alongside his brother-in-law Clinton, who he " sees more as a brotherly figure rather than his subordinate".
