Amanda Seyfried Leaving Big Love

Amanda Seyfried, who has played The Henrickson’s eldest daughter on Big Love for the past three seasons, is moving on. Seyfield got her big break as Meryl Streep’s daughter in “Mamma Mia!” last year and now feels that she would like her path to move further in that direction.

In an exclusive interview, TV Guide magazine obtained confirmation of Seyfield’s departure from the show’s creator Will Scheffer. Scheffer told the mag, “She’s been exploring her movie career for a couple of years now, and we’ve been giving her a lot of room to do that. I know having a commitment to a show for six months definitely cuts into her ability to pursue that career.”
