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?
I can’t believe one of the main characters has been sacked but if he has gotten too big for his boots then why not bring another actor in to replace him, I love the show and I’ll still watch to give someone else a chance to keep the show going, I’m sure the writers will make him as good a part playing someone else, I look forward to watching series 3 later in the year, other shows have shown good replacements for their shows then why not Lethal Weapon, let’s give it a go at least, no one is irreplaceable,… Read more »
Family and friends will not be watching Lethal Weapon Season 3 without Clayne Crawford. The show is excellent with the 2 major actors. What was wrong with maybe having him to go to anger management if that was the case.
I love the show and I have to admit Martin Riggs made the show but so did Abby on NCIS and Mike Weatherly but They put so really good replacements in and I watch it still. The character of Martin was to funny and the way he pulled things off and saven Riggs so many times was just what was cool about him. However I never though Weatherly could be replaced and Abby but I am starting to like it as an whole change of life but on a show. I would watch the 3rd series and the others who… Read more »
I like Clayne Crawford as Martin Riggs and with Damon Wayans they are wonderful as the dynamic duo!!! No point in watching the series is the 2 main characters don’t remain the same. How could a main character be replaced and the pace and the continuity of the whole story be uninterrupted and, consequently, unappealing to the TV program fans?
I love Lethal Weapon. Love Clay Crawford , he makes the show worth watching. Him and Damon are great together. The make up the whole show.
We like Clayton bring him back or cancel it. Won’ watch otherwise.
Won’t watch leathal weapon without Clayne.
I will not watch if they get rid of Crawford
Crawford IS Riggs.
If Fox replace him I won’t watch the season 3.
In my opinion without crawford playing riggs even if they renew a 3rd season the ratings will tank and they’ll cancel it. He makes the show, period! I wont watch unless they bring him back.
The show won’t be the same; doubt if it survives
This has been one of our favorite shows. Crawford is integral to the show. I don’t know that we will watch it without him. I understand if he has such issues they need to be dealt with, but I think his firing will kill the show.
Crawford IS Riggs.
If Fox replace him I won’t watch the season 3.
Would not want season 3 without Crawford in it, if they plan to replace him with a new guy would definitely not watch it.
When the show first came out I couldn’t imagine anyone playing Riggs part as well as the original movies. It turned out that Clayne played it better in many ways. Sorry to see him go but Fox might as well cancel the show now and save themselves the low ratings later.
