Turturro has always had a busy career However, given Turturro's prolific acting career, it's possible that could have played a part in his departure. It certainly wouldn't be the first time the actor took off from a major network crime drama to take on other acting gigs.

She criticized Fancy to his face and to the other detectives, though the detectiv…
• Insp. Aiello (Andy Romano) — Where most superiors on Blue tended to be either wonderful (Bass) or horrible (Haverill), Aiello was a centrist: he sided with a task force that pushed Bobby out of the way on a major case, but later gave the green light for Bobby to take over (which led to the arrest of a serial killer) and also authorized the 15th to ignore the FBI and follow up a lead on a kidnapping case.
• Laura Michaels Kelly (Sherry Stringfield) — The ex-wife of Det. John Kelly, they were amiable enough after their divorce to spend the night together on several occasions, but finally decided that their pattern of sex and fighting needed to end.

• Donna Abandando — The first squad police administrative aide (PAA), Donna initially appeared to be a bleached-blonde bimbo, but quickly won over the 15th with her skills and won over Det.

Near the end of Season 3, Donna decided to take a job at Apple Computers, and moved to California. Played by Gail O'Grady.
• Steve Richards — A low-level snitch and local con artist that appeared occasionally in Seasons 2 and 3. Steve once ruined a police surveillance operation when the suspects offered him a cut of the proceeds from a planned robbery. No one wanted to listen to him when he returned, and he always wrapped his information in innuendo and double-talk, but what he revealed helped save a kidnapped business executive and earn him a hefty reward. Played by Paul Ben-Victor.
