He continued discussing “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” saying, “And I just was like, you know, we’ve been doing this for a long time, and I think I was also anxious. I had not figured out yet how to stretch myself and be able to do other things that I wanted to do with my career outside of the show.”
The actor continued, “I was aching to do other things, and so I was starting to feel a little boxed in, frankly.” Still, Glenn says he “never lost any appreciation for the show.” He went on, “I just thought like maybe we should, and then they were like, ‘We don’t want to end it,’ and I was like, ‘Oh, well I can’t stop you.’”
