Short, 31, who plays Harrison Wright opposite actress Kerry
Washington's Olivia Pope character, said in a statement that he
"must confirm my exit from a show I've called home for 3 years."
"Everything must come to an end and unfortunately the time has
come for Harrison Wright to exit the canvas," he added, without
providing details on the reason for his departure.
ABC, owned by Walt Disney Co., did not comment on Short's exit
from the salacious political drama from hit show creator Shonda
Rhimes, which ended its third season last week.
Short was charged with felony battery from a March incident in
which he allegedly punched and knocked out a male guest at a Los
Angeles restaurant.
