LIZ Carr has quit Silent Witness after eight years playing Clarrissa.
The actress - who will now star in a big budget Hollywood movie - said it was time to "focus less on the dead and more on the living", as she exited the show.

The 23rd series of the BBC crime drama ended on Wednesday with a dramatic episode in which Dr Thomas Chamberlain (Richard Lintern) died after he was exposed to a deadly nerve agent.
The forensic pathologist had been investigating a cure for the nerve agent after Jack Hodgson (David Caves) was contaminated, but ended up being contaminated himself.
He collapsed, choking, but refused to let his colleagues into the room to help him so as not to poison them too.
Carr's character, forensic examiner Clarissa Mullery, survived the nerve agent drama but gave in her notice at the Lyell Centre after deciding she wanted to spend more time with family.

Clarissa had previously hinted it was time for her to go, and confirmed her departure in Wednesday's episode.
Actress Carr said: "After eight years of getting to play the fabulous character Clarissa Mullery, I've decided it's time to leave Silent Witness.
"To quote Clarissa, 'I just know, deep down - that it's time for me to move on, to focus less on the dead and more on the living. On life'."
She went on: "Originally only employed for four episodes as Jack's sidekick, I am incredibly proud that I leave as a main character in one of the BBC's landmark dramas.

"It has been a rollercoaster of a ride but I feel I'm leaving on an exhilarating high.
"I will very much miss the other Lyell regulars - Emilia (Fox), David (Caves) and Richard (Lintern), along with my on-screen husband, Dan Weyman - I have loved working alongside them for the past eight series and I leave knowing I have their love and support for my decision."
Liz will star alongside Mark Wahlberg and Chiwetel Ejiofor in Infinite, which will be released this summer.
