Meanwhile, in his own statement, Dunbar said he won’t share what medical or religious beliefs had him refusing the vaccine, but expressed his gratitude to the show he’s been a part of for the last five seasons.

“My sincerely held beliefs and private medical history are very intimate and personal aspects of my life that I do not publicly discuss and have no desire to start now,” he said.

“I’ve been an actor in this business for 30 years, but my greatest roles are as a husband and father to our 4 small children. As a man that walks in faith, I look forward to what the future holds. I have enjoyed the last 5 seasons with this wonderful cast and crew and will cherish the time I’ve been blessed to spend with this series and wish everyone involved nothing but the best.”

Dunbar was an original cast member on the show which debuted in January 2018. ‘9-1-1’ also stars Angela Bassett and Peter Krause. It has won awards including consecutive Image Awards for Bassett in 2020 and 2021.
