Hollywood actor who starred alongside Tom Hanks quits Coronation Street - just weeks after debut

ok.co.uk:

Hollywood actor Robin Morrissey, who recently joined the cast of Coronation Street as Felix, Summer Spellman's boyfriend, has decided to leave the show just weeks after his debut.

Summer returned to Weatherfield with a new man in tow after studying in America, much to the surprise of Billy and Paul. However, upcoming episodes will see Felix say goodbye to Summer after he overhears a derogatory message about him on Paul's Eyegaze device.

As Billy and Todd scramble to find the mute button, Felix storms out. Robin was a significant signing for ITV bosses, having starred alongside big names like Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, and Hugh Grant in the blockbuster movie Cloud Atlas - which was his first professional gig.

Since then, he has appeared in numerous films and TV dramas. The Liverpool-born star is also known for his role as Sergeant Fred Thompson in the police drama, The Tower.
