Just one year after the end of “Wizards of Waverly Place,” Jake T. Austin scored a recurring roll on another hit TV series: “The Fosters.” However, fans were shocked in 2015 when Austin announced on Twitter that he would be leaving his role as Jesus after completing only two seasons. “I’m honored to have been a part of such a groundbreaking series, but I personally want to let you know that my time on the show has come to an end,” he wrote. The star clarified in now-deleted Tweets that his screen time was going to be reduced in the third season, and he wanted to pursue more substantial opportunities.
