Question: Why exactly is Diane Farr leaving Rescue Me?

Answer: "There are five really good reasons," she says. Chief among them: Numbers shoots in Los Angeles; Rescue Me doesn't. "I moved to L.A. eight years ago, and I'm the only actress on earth to get two series [Rescue Me and ABC's The Job] in New York, so for five years I've been doing half a year here and half a year there. And I live with my boyfriend there now. It was fun to be [in N.Y.] beforehand, but now every single day that I have off I fly back." Also, "the [firefighter equipment] is really heavy," she sighs. "It's 65 lbs. of gear. I just finished a fire scene this morning and I'm walking to the chiropractor as we speak. It's more than half of my body weight."
