The California native told热的YouTube series host Sean Evans on July 20 that he originally wanted to leaveFull Housebecause he thought the kids would be background players in the show, but then he felt completely overshadowed at the table read.

He added, “You couldn't even hear my lines, they were laughing so hard at her, and I'm like slinking down in my seat.”

Stamos said he promptly called his agent and said, “Get me the f**k off this show!” However, he clearly ended up staying on, and he confesses that he's glad he did.

“I fought it for a long time,” theGeneral Hospitalstar divulged. “And then I finally said: ‘What am I doing? It's a beautiful show.’ We built it with sweetness and kindness.”

He also added, “There was no central character on that show is what I realized. The central character was love.”
