Mandy Patinkin (Jason Gideon)
Here is yet another big name who joined the early seasons of the show. Best known for starring in Chicago Hope, the actor hung up his gloves during the third season. He just decided that he no longer wanted to play Jason Gideon and stopped going to work. Later on, he informed TV Guide that it was “destructive to [my] soul.” We are just glad that he found something more suitable for him in Homeland. Aside from that, he was also in Life Itself and Wonder.

Damon Gupton (Stephen Walker)
There are fans of the show who have yet to get over the death of Stephen Walker, who was portrayed by Damon Gupton. The special agent met his demise in the only season he appeared in due to a car accident that Mr. Scratch organized. After the untimely death of the character, Gupton landed recurring roles in Dirty John and Black Lightning. He played Bill Henderson in the latter.
