So it’s no wonder that fans were stunned when Wilcox left the hit show ahead of its final season. At the time, the actor issued a statement claiming he was leaving the show to start his own production company.
In the interview, Wilcox told Kmetko he received a call from his agent, telling him that NBC entertainment head Brandon Tartikoff loved his work on the show. But Wilcox said his agent added, “But they're going to let you go on CHiPs. …Erik had you fired.’ ”
“So Brandon said as much as he hates to do this, he really has no choice,” Wilcox recalled his agent telling him. “And Larry, Erik wants you out of there, and some other actors also. And you're gone. I'm sorry.”
Wilcox quickly set up an interview with the Los Angeles Times. “And so they published that Larry Wilcox has left CHiPs, made a decision to leave CHiPs. So everyone thought I left the show," he said.
“For a long time, I went on angry at Erik and p---ed off,” Wilcox admitted on the podcast. He added that he was able to forgive Estrada over time.
