FBI: International is losing another star. Luke Kleintank, who has played FBI Supervisory Special Agent Scott Forrester since the show’s beginning, has announced he will depart the CBS series later this season.
The FBI: International series, which stars Kleintank, Carter Redwood, Vinessa Vidotto, Eva-Jane Willis, and Christina Wolfe, follows the members of the FBI’s elite International Fly Team as they travel the world.
Kleintank said the following about his departure from the CBS series:
After much thought and consideration, I’ve made the difficult decision to leave FBI: International. This decision is driven by my unwavering commitment to my family, whose love and well-being are paramount in my life.
I’m profoundly thankful for the extraordinary cast and crew of the show, who have not only been colleagues but also a family away from home. Their unwavering dedication and remarkable talents have made every moment on set an unforgettable journey that has enriched my life in countless ways.
Lastly, I would also like to extend my thanks to the fans who have supported us through the first three seasons.
His last episode will air on May 7th.
CBS renewed FBI: International for a fourth season earlier this month. FBI and FBI: Most Wanted were also renewed.
What do you think? Have you kept up with this CBS series? Are you disappointed about Kleintank’s exit?
What has happened to the show Magnum PI? Is it coming back?
Unfortunately not. It was cancelled again.
I liked him, I hope they don’t kill him off.
He will be missed. He is the whole show. Too many good originals (him and Heida – Jamie) will be gone now. I am disappointed, but they have to do what’s best for them.
kleintank can not leave!! He was the whole show, all by himself!
Luke is a fine actor and I will miss him in his role as leader of the show.
I enjoy the show but mow losing him besides 2 others originals don’t see the show surviving SHAME
Did it on Most Wanted so what’s the problem?
Totally gutted, he is leaving the show and the best main character, really upset such a great show, my favorite, even made a trip to Budapest to see the area, and loved it. My son lives in Vienna and we took a rise trip there just because of the awesome show
With these type of shows, we see someone rise up and become popular. Then they leave. We never see them again. Such a great role, and he is throwing it away. I liked FBI most wanted, then the lead leaves, Dylan McDermott comes in and it’s now unwatchable. Please do a better job of picking the new lead.
Godspeed!
So sad he is a big part of the team .so sad i liked him alot.will miss seeing him
