He was not fired per se but got ill and was not able to continue. A very strange and very sad story. It was kept secret up until his death, then made public for his request. "I'll take the secret to my grave. - No, take it to MY grave..." :( https://youtu.be/AwyAo_YjtdM

JMS, the writer always stated that the parting was amicable. Sinclair appeared in a cameo in S2 and in the two-part episode War Without End in S3, which closed Sinclair's story arc. In real life, the cameo for S2 was recorded before the actor got hospitalized to start treatment for his symptoms which were as severe as something alike schizophrenia and the two-parter was shot when his condition was stable enough for filming again, but the side effects of his meds were not all too obvious yet, although the viewers could feel something was wrong, he had some odd blinking at some scenes.
