Michael Fishman exits The Conners after 14 years

Back in the 80’s Michael Fishman was just 6 years old when he joined the cast of “Rosanne” as the witless son of Dan and Rosanne Conner, DJ.  Aka Dan Jr..

He spent 10 seasons on the show before it was canceled.

Then in 2018 he returned to roll of DJ Conner in the controversial spin off “The Conner”.  Now its learned he wont be returning for season 5 after 14 years of playing the roll.

The first hint that something was amiss was last week when ABC unveiled the season five poster, which excluded the 40-year-old SoCal native.

A week ago, Lionsgate’s Grindstone Entertainment Group acquired the North American distribution rights to Nicole Mejia’s feature directorial debut A Place in the Field, which Fishman produced.

The Mclusive Media CEO – who boasts 122K social media followers – gushed on Instagram: ‘I am so proud to be part of this amazing team to help produce this film!’

Michael might also want to spend more quality time with his three children – daughter Isabelle, son Aaron, and daughter Camille – following the 2020 overdose death of his son Larry.

Whatever the reason, we wish him the best!
