Probably to start anew as a blank slate for Hollywood. I don't know Taylor personally at all, but, I know enough of his story and enough about Hollywood to know that it might be possible. Hollywood's a tough industry, and sometimes just a name alone could give you trouble because alot of the times, they look for something specific.

Just another random person on the Internet Sheridan means that he hates "in your face" exposition, TV shows, especially procedurals, do that a lot. That's why he masks exposition in a way to be natural, that it would make sense for character to say that.

Allergic to exposition but Jeremy Renner's conversation with Liz Olson in Wind River about his daughter was directly to the audience. That's some beefy exposition. Otherwise, how would we know what happened to her? I guess he felt the audience needed to know. But Taylor must've broken out in hives writing that.
