Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who played Jason Crouse on 'The Good Wife', did not like the way show ended.
The actor said he was not a big fan of the finale of the Emmy-winning show, which ended in May after seven seasons, reported the Entertainment Weekly.
The actor thought the open-ended finish for his character's relationship with Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies) was not impressive.
"I didn't like it. But it's not my show, you know what I mean? If Julianna was happy, then I was happy. My feeling was, we raised so many questions about Jason and this relationship that he had with Alicia that I felt like nothing was ever answered, you know?
"So, I walked away frustrated for my character and Alicia's character in not having any kind of closure with that," he said.
Many of the show's fans were also unhappy with the series finale as they thought it did not live up to the expectations.
Morgan, who is yet to watch the episode, said that two weeks after the episode wrapped, he was asked by producers to return for "a little bit of a reshoot" but he was busy shooting his next show.
The actor said he liked the way his character was introduced in the show but things sort of fizzled out for him at the end.
"I was so big on that story that got introduced so early on about who this guy was, and did he really beat up a judge? And what about this temper that they built up so much? And then nothing. It was just sort of walked away.
"But all my stuff is all selfish. I wasn't happy with the ending because I wasn't happy with Jason. So that's not a very fair assessment for the audience or for (creators Michelle and Robert King), who are obviously brilliant. They had an idea how this show was going to end, and I guess we saw what it was.
