Most shocking is the departure of the series' star Dylan McDermott, who played Bobby Donnell, the head of 'The Practice's fictional law firm. Also on the chopping block are the babelicious Lara Flynn Boyle, Lisa Gay Hamilton and Chyler Leigh, who also found herself out of work last year after the David E. Kelley series, 'girl club', which she stared in was axed by FOX after just three episodes. Apparently Kelley was so impressed with the young actress that he moved her over to his other show, 'The Practice'.
