Actors like Masahiro Inoue, Masaki Suda, Renn Kiriyama, Kenji Ohba, Shu Watanabe, Hiroshi Fujioka, and others return because they love being a part of their franchises and are always willing to do more. Not everyone is like that nor can Toei always afford to bring them back.

Joe Adagiri may not hate Kamen Rider as much as once thought, but he doesn't really have a desire to ever do it again. Some of the actors do voice roles for video games like Agito's actor or the Ryuki guys. But the physical aspect of being these characters again doesn't always appeal to every one. You can't just blame Toei for stuff like this, it's unrealistic to expect every person to reprise their role every time.

I don't think he was talking about the actors so much as he was the characters and their in-show abilities, namely, "When was the last time Kabuto Clocked Up?"
