Its unclear to me why he left the show, on one hand some say he was let go because of cut backs, on they other he decided to leave.

I've always heard he decided to leave, but they were also looking at cutbacks. In other words, I suspect if they'd offered him more do to he might have stayed, but they didn't so he left. Either way it was a loss to the show.

During an interview he said he wasn't satisfied with his screen time and wanted to explore other acting opportunities.

I have the movie on DVD.  Brutal but good movie.

What was the title of the movie you have on DVD?

Miami Blues starring Alec Baldwin, Fred Ward, and Jennifer Jason Leigh (released April 20, 1990).  When Fred Frenger a.k.a. Junior (played by Alec Baldwin) gets out of prison he         starts a violent one-man crime wave in Miami.  He soon meets up with amiable and slow witted college student/prostitute Susie Waggoner (Jennifer Jason Leigh).  Opposing  Frenger is Sgt. Hoke Moseley (Fred Ward), a cop who is getting a bit old for the job but manages to eventually track down Frenger who is badly wounded.  

Thanks. I recently saw it on one of my movie channels. It was OK.

"Zito is reading Charles Willeford's 1984 crime novel Miami Blues, which is often credited right along with Miami Vice for bringing sleaze and glamour to the public perception of Miami." From a blogspot

The movie was based on the novel
