The Real Reason Lucas Black Left NCIS: New Orleans

The NCIS: New Orleans episode “Matthew 5:9” saw the death of main character Christopher LaSalle, who had been with the show from the very beginning. He went out in a blaze of glory, as he died saving someone, but fans were still sad to see actor Lucas Black leave the show.
Black has found success in film as well as TV, and he might be returning to the Fast and Furious franchise, but his reason for leaving was ultimately a simple one. Let’s take a look at the real reason why Lucas Black left NCIS: New Orleans after six seasons.

Pride & Laletta

[@janice8514]

However even making his family a priority even if he never worked again, if he has planned well financially and keeps to a budget, he and his fam will do very well!. If he does, however, do the occasional movie or tv role, he'll be able to sustain a great lifestyle and close family life.

I feel like everybody is assuming the franchise chose to kill off his character when honestly it sounds to me that it was Lucas's decision. He wants to be present for his children's lives and he wants to have a more stable schedule so he can be a family man. I admire that

[@christineweber6899]

So sad that he left the show. Have been following him since he was just a young kid. I love his southern accent...gonna miss him so much. Hope he does more movies or something so I can see him again.

I love them all! I was really upset when LaSalle character died. I couldn’t understand why he left. He was a dedicated NCIS officer. He had a great sense of humor, & made made look forward to the show along with the others. Now that I know why, I do understand. He will be sorely missed. I wish him & his family the best. Thank you for all the great episodes you were in. Love you. 👍🏻😊

[@Bentriverrusher]

He was the only guy that belonged in a show about the deep south. Everyone else has a NYC or NJ accent.

[@yvettemigues7610]

That's how people from New Orleans talk. They don't talk with a southern drawl.

[@willd1175]

Ur absolutely right. When they killed him off & Scott Bakula is soon to be gone. All ull have is Strong Wahmen in charge. One with a New Yalk accent that makes u wana gouge ur ears off. Over a Nerotic Nerd who needs to prove something & a crippled black man who is way to overconfident in his capabilities. Another win for the SJW's who will never watch the show leading it to be cancelled & female characters that are 'Almost Flawless' who are so unlikable & not the target audience/demographic will be the reason this show is doomed to fail! RIP. I really did enjoy this show... mostly.

[@hazelkagey6739]

I was blown away when his character was killed off. I have to admit though that I loved his parting line " I missed you Cade, let's go fishin' ". He was finally reunited with his brother. I did miss the following week but I was ill. I tuned in this week and everybody on the show seemed as bummed out as I was. I am thankful he is going to be with his beautiful family. The children grow up so very fast and the Father in the home is extremely important. He is well loved and will be sorely missed. He left some big shoes to fill. I am glad they won't try to slip in another person into the character he created, that would've been a mistake. Best wishes Lucas, we love and will miss you. God bless you and yours!

Lots of people rag him because they thought he was trying for a New Orleans accent. Nothing could be further from the truth. His accent was pure Alabama, just like his character. As far as accents go, absolutely none of the characters has a true NOLA accent.

[@belindabutcher7925]

I love the way he talks

[@joenesbitt8660]

Very early on, he was offered a major role in a film, but was told he would have to loose his Alabama accent. He turned down the part, saying he was proud to be from Alabama and vowed he would never give up his accent. That's something I've always liked about Lucky, he's true to his word! When he said he'd be up at 4:00 AM to go bass fishing, he was always up and ready to go when we got there!

[@gabbymcdaniel4736]

Seemed really fake if you ask me. That was the main reason I couldn’t stand to listen to him.

[@carolb3122]

Will really miss LaSalle. I think losing his character won’t be a shot in the arm for NCIS New Orleans but instead another thing that will bring it down. LaSalle was such a vibrant character. Loved his interaction with the “city mouse- country mouse”. As I said, he will be missed.

[@garcia207]

I remember him in American Gothic. He was such an awesome actor at such a young age. Too bad they ended that show without a closure.

[@kevaredmond3569]

Sling Blade is my earliest film memory

[@amyr.mueller3662]

I will surely miss Laselle's character because he was a good actor and one of my favorite characters, but since he's going to spend more time with his family, then that's a great thing to do and I'm proud of him for doing that.

[@robertjohnson8938]

I don’t see nothing wrong with him being with his family

I think it is fine for him to take time off to spend with his family because he would have regretted not being there after his kids are grown. However, am I the only one that is a little skeptical about how much he was supported in that decision? I mean, really, "we're behind you guy" but then they kill off the character, ensuring that he will never be able to return. He was my favorite character, and the main reason I watched the show, so I'm pretty sad about it. The show won't be the same without him.

[@MrGlenspace]

Having a hit tv show is tough to walk away from. Many do so and it does not work out. There are so many actors that would kill for that part. As an actor they should know for 23 plus weeks you are busy. I give him credit for walking away for family sake. Hopefully many years in the future he will return to tv if it works out and stay. Just look at baklava and Harmon who know they have a good thing are older and get producer credit. Even david McCollum in his 80’s knows it is to good to give up.

I wish they hadn't killed him off. Even if he doesn't want to be back on the show, I still wish they would have let him live and have his character not be able to handle being a NCIS agent and the business at home, and so, leave the show to deal with the family business with the hope of coming back when he gets it all squared away, even if he never comes back. I have really liked him since I first saw him on one of my favorite shows, "American Gothic", the movie with agents Skully and Muldoon and the classic, "Slingblade". But, family is MORE IMPORTANT than anything. I wish him luck in whatever he does in the future.
