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?
Great show and Murtagh and Trish are great characters. I like seeing a strong family unit with Trish as a smart accomplished woman.
I think Clayne can be replaced especially if he was disrespectful to the rest of cast and crew. The whole show and their employees jobs should not be lost over one actor. I’m sure they can replace him with a new recruit who is strong/wacky character and hopefully better looking 🙂
Please cancel this show.
Crawford makes the show. Don’t think I’ll watch it if he doesn’t return.
I will not watch if Crawford not on show. I love this show but he is the show to me.
Well I hope he is hired back cause some characters are too unique to be replaced….. Claynes character is one of those. I will leave it on my record schedule until I hear of a third season but if it returns without Clayne, I will not be watching! You guys put up with worse attitudes than his……suck it up! The show works with him, but not without him!
love the show, but not without Crawford
I love this show. I look forward to it every week but I won’t watch it without Rigs!
So disappointed. LOVE this show, it’s one of the few shows I really enjoy. Different from anything else on.
Love this series but not without Crawford. He and his “partner”. Make the show
Without Crawford there is no show. Only watching if he’s retained.
Will not watch now do. Ot have choose what to watch or tape. NCIS
That’s a shame, my favorite show, Damon and Clayne made the show what it is. Without Clayne, it might as well be canceled. Still hoping it returns with the same stars.
I love the action of the show.If they find an actor who would revitalize the partnership angle I would watch a third season. There always seemed a distance between the two lead actors but the show converted me to them from NCIS.
I can’t believe your taking Clayne Crawford off. He makes the show he is what keeps alot of people. I know watching. He keeps it very interesting. I want be sadly watching the show anymore without him! He’s the heart of the show. I think y’all are making a big mistake!!
The is one of the best shows. Work out the issues with Crawford and bring on seaaon 3. It would not be the same without the original cast. No recasting.
