Part 5/7:
In addition to logistical obstacles, creative differences between Siegel and the show's producers surfaced. The evolution of his character led to frustration for the actor, as he felt Marshall had changed from a relatable protagonist to a parody of himself. The final season's focus on zany slapstick humor failed to resonate with Siegel, who was eager to tackle more serious roles. He later expressed his struggles with the show's direction in interviews, citing a need for an "artistic check-in" as he sought to avoid being typecast.
