His departure from the play makes it the fourth project he has left this year. The other projects Hammer has stepped away from are "The Offer," "Shotgun Wedding," and "Billion Dollar Spy."

"I have loved every single second of working on 'The Minutes' with the family I made from Steppenwolf. But right now I need to focus on myself and my health for the sake of my family. Consequently, I will not be returning to Broadway with the production," Hammer said in a statement on Friday.
