Silent Witness<\/a> star Liz Carr has opened up about her exit from the BBC crime drama, revealing that she \u201cwanted to do other things\u201d.<\/p>\n

The actor, who starred as forensic examiner Clarissa Mullery on the show from 2013 until 2020, spoke to Radio Times magazine<\/strong> about her new role in The Witcher<\/a>\u2018s upcoming season and explained why she chose to leave Silent Witness last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe job was a joy. Clarissa was very loved, and I don\u2019t take the experience or the support that I got in that role for granted at all,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I wanted to see who else I could play. Silent Witness took nine months a year, so it did cut out an awful lot of projects that I would have loved to do. I was starting to almost resent that, because I wanted to do other things.<\/p>

\u201cThe Witcher would definitely have been in that category,\u201d she added. \u201cPersonally for me, as an electric-wheelchair-using disabled woman, it\u2019s really interesting to be cast in things that are historical, or part of a different world.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really relished the costumes, the set and the opportunity to go, \u2018Do you know what? There\u2019s no reason, really, that I can\u2019t play roles in almost anything.’\u201d<\/p>\n

Since leaving Silent Witness, Carr has appeared in Netflix drama The OA, alongside Brit Marling, Patrick Gibson and Jason Isaacs, and FX action thriller Devs.<\/p>\n

She will be joining Netflix\u2019s The Witcher in season two, making her debut as Fenn on the hugely popular fantasy drama.<\/p>\n
