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?
Please recast Crawford – give him another chance. Love him
I will not watch season 3 if Crawford doesn’t return. Without him there is no show.
Same here I won’t either
My husband and I won’t watch it either now that they fired Crawford. I’ve erased it from our DVR.
Same here!!! Crawford IS the show and we’ll not watch a single episode without him!!!!!
BY FAR MY MOST WATCHED SERIES FOR THE PAST TWO SEASONS
TEN OUT OF TEN. WITH AN ATTITUDE LIKE CRAWFORD’S HE COULD BECOME THE NEXT PRESIDENT!
This is a real favorite of my family’s. Work it out with Clayne C. – he is an awesome Riggs!! Wayans and Crawford are dynamic together.
Don’t cancel this show, FOX!!
Totally love this show!!!! Right now it is my favorite. Used to be The Walking Dead until they started killing off my favorite characters like Glen and Carl. Viewership goes down when writers or network executives start messing with the winning teams they have in place. Clayne Crawford apologized to the offended parties and donated some of his salary as well as participating in counseling. He believes in doing the best job he can. It shows in his performances as it does in his fellow cast mates. When the tv show Training Day lost Bill Paxton, they cancelled that show.… Read more »
This is my favorite show. Work it out with Clayne C. – he is an awesome Riggs! Wayons and Crawford are excellent – Don’t let this show cease to exist, FOX!
I don’t watch much TV. That being said, I have never missed an episode of lethal weapon. If it’s recast it will lose what made it special, a believable cast. So sad and angry to see it end this way. Thank you to the cast and crew.
I enjoy Leathal Weapon, and I do like Clayne Crawford in the series. Don’t know if I would watch without Clayne Crawford as I think he makes the show personally. Please renew for a third season
If they renew without Clayne Crawford I won’t watch. His chemistry with Wayans makes the entire show. If his behaviour is so bad then fine him. In today’s climate I am inclined to believe that people are just too sensitive. Work it out!
If Crawford is out – I’m out. I’ve liked Damon Wayans for years, but people watch the show for the entire cast, specifically Crawford’s portrayal of Riggs. He makes two mistakes, which were taken up with HR, he apologizes, and they fire him? Yet they have all the fox news Journalists? So long Lethal Weapon.
I was very sorry to hear that Crawford was misbehaving, and that issue should be resolved. Although I like all the other cast members, Crawford is the reason I watched the show every week. Sure wish he would get his act together so the show could continue with him. If someone else is brought into replace him, I will give the show a chance to win me over again.
Sorry to hear about the chaos on the set. No more Crawford, no more watching. It would just not be the same with a different actor playing Riggs.
We will NOT be watching Lethal Weapon without Clayne Crawford as Riggs. Hire him back and continue Lethal Weapon.
Fox, You guys blew it!! Clayne makes the show, I wouldn’t even think of watching the show now that Clayne is gone. So stupid. The rest of the cast should have sucked it up. As an actor you can’t always work with people you like. Ever occur to someone that he’s human and he has a right to be imperfect. What a waste of a good show. It was the only one I looked forward to all week. If Fox has any brains they’ll hire Clayne back, because even if they renew,the numbers will be so low it will have… Read more »
Well without Clayne there is now show. So they better not really be firing him. A lot of people are going to be upset. My family a lot with most of my neighbors will definitely stop watching the show. Why do networks cancel the best shows or fire amazing actors.
I love this show and Clayne Crawford character is what makes the show
