The down-to-earth hunk, who is believed to have already made the move to Los Angeles with new wife, Bridgette Sneddon, opened up to The Daily Telegraph about leaving the show that made him a household name.

“It wasn’t something I was looking forward to because I love the show and the people I work with so much,” he said.

“But I think the key to any good TV series or any good storytelling is to leave the audience at the right point, and where we got to with Brax, we hit a point where it was the best point for him to exit the show. It was just the perfect time I guess.”
