Clayne Crawford is out. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Lethal Weapon star has been fired ahead of a possible season three renewal for the FOX TV show.
Crawford plays Martin Riggs on the buddy cop drama alongside fellow cast members Damon Wayans, Keesha Sharp, Kevin Rahm, Jordana Brewster, Johnathan Fernandez, Dante Brown, Chandler Kinney, and Michelle Mitchenor.
As reported earlier, Crawford has had a history of bad behavior on the set of Lethal Weapon, with co-workers complaining of emotional abuse and hostility. Now, Crawford has been fired from the FOX TV show, leaving the series’ future up in the air.
Lethal Weapon brings in decent ratings for FOX, so it’s unclear if the network will bring the show back for a third season and recast Riggs or cancel the series altogether.
The majority of respondents in our poll say that they wouldn’t watch a third season unless Crawford is a part of it.
What do you think? Do you watch Lethal Weapon? Do you want a third season? Sould Crawford’s role be recast?
If Clayne is gone so should be the show. With all the attitudes in Hollywood they’re going to fire him, please . Rewrite his contract or drop the show . Not worth watching if he’s not on it.
No Clayne=No Riggs= No Show! so don’t even bother for a 3rd season!
lethal weapon will not be the same without Riggs. he is the whole show, without him being cast in the show I will no longer watch the show if there is a 3rd season….too bad this show is so good I am sure if the management worked hard enough they could’ve worked this problem out.
I want lethal weapon too but with rigs the actor now if fox do nothing about it and replace him I won’t whatch I would cancel fox
That BS!! I swear seems like TV channels are so stupid these days
Without Crawford I will stop watching the show.
I will also NOT watch Lethal Weapon WITHOUT Clayne Crawford playing RIGGS!!!
No Riggs, no watchy.
Yeah I feel the same way I will not longer watch Leathal weapon without Riggs !! So If renewed for season three it will be lame and boring !!#TEAMCRAWFORD
Nope. Will definitely not watch without him. He IS the show for me and many others, I suspect. The show may do fine without him. I’m not silly enough to try to predict that, but I certainly won’t be sad if it completely crashes without him. With so much unwatchable crap floating around on tv now, this is a complete waste of real talent and brilliant storytelling. Disappointed. Was the ONE Fox show I watched. No need to even turn to that channel now… ever.
Everything Lucy said! I do not watch anything on the “normal” TV channels except for this show. Crawford makes this show the success it is. FOX & Warner Bros are cutting their nose despite their face letting Crawford go. I won’t be watching the show even if they do replace him.
Don’t cancel Lethal Weapons! The show is great with ALL the characters!
The show NEEDS Riggs. DON’T fire him, and PLEASE renew for season 3
For me a third season without him would not be making any sense… For me in the role of Riggs he is one of the most carismatic actors of the last years and he is the star of the whole series besides that the actor of mordough is also really great…
For me unluckily one of my favourite tv shows of the last times is dead without the „real and original“ Riggs actor…
The show NEEDS Riggs. DON’T fire him, and PLEASE renew for season 3
I hate to see Clayne Crawford go but actions have consequences (or they are supposed too, not so much anymore anyway). But, please just recast the role. PLEASE don’t create a new character!!!
What’s missing, but is out there if you look for it, is Damon Wayans’ diva-like behavior: doesn’t do table reads, calls in sick, gets hurt on set then will not carry a gun for the rest of that episode. What the heck? But hey, he’s the reason we’re all watching right?
What’s missing is the show is called “LETHAL WEAPON.” If it’s based on the original movie then Clayne is playing the BEST Riggs character and Damon needs to brush up on his. Writers, do your jobs!!!
not really. I was right about there being two sides to a story. if this is because of Damon Wayan’s diva like behavior then recast his role and take back clayne Crawford who really makes the program the way it is. fire wayans
Bye bye “Lethal Weapon” and what a pity. I will not watch a third season without him.
