Getty Quits Brothers & Sisters

Actor BALTHAZAR GETTY has followed in ROB LOWE’s footsteps by quitting hit show BROTHERS & SISTERS, according to U.S. reports.

Lowe bid farewell to his TV family earlier this year (10) and now Getty has also decided to leave the series ahead of the upcoming fifth season, according to EW.com.

Sources tell the website the star’s departure was a “creative decision” and the absence of his character, Tommy, will be explained in the premiere episode, which airs in the U.S. next month (Sep10).
