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?
It need to have him in the program. Why don’t you help the poor chap instead of throwing him to the sharks.
Oh well that’s just great isn’t it… I’m not watching it either if Crawford goes !!!
I will refrain from name-calling but I want you to know that I am tired of you guys canceling shows that we as viewers get emotionally attached to rain in your actors keep the show going do not cancel the show we literally have lethal weapon watching parties huge fans of the show If Riggs is a bad actor in or onset learn to deal with your children people you make a lot of money off of us and the commercials and sponsors stop punishing us the viewers
What’s Lethal Weapon without Riggs/Crawford? So no, I won’t watch it without him in it.
Let me even add my suggestion, Josh Hartnett
I say find the right actor and make it the a Darren/Becky/Aunt Viv type re-cast.
I have be watching Lethal Weapons from the start and DON’T CANCEL.. You have a great cast of people but Crawford and Wayne are the show.. These two have it all..Please work it out and give Crawford another change, everyone deserves that.. FOX your’re making a big mistake if you let Riggs go..I looked forward everyweek for this show.. You had it on Monday and moved it to Tuesday, try and move it back too Monday again..Get Crawford some help and work with him to improve his behavior, he can’t do it by himself..PLEASE TAKE A CHANCE ,AND MAKE THIS… Read more »
Keep Crawford, lose Wayans.
Wayans’ character is whiney, self-indulgent, and pompous. I couldn’t tell where the actor ended and the character began. Wayans/Murtaugh was annoying.
The only reason I kept tuning in was the part of Riggs.
I’d love to see CK Allen given a chance to play Murtaugh. He might make a good choice if you want to keep a hit show going for years to come.
My husband and I will not watch the show if Crawford does not return…he is the show!!
There outs no way in h*’ll I would even turn the tv on if he is re-cast. I go where he goes.
Recasting Riggs will be a mistake. No one in their right mind would behave that badly around co-workers if they were working on a hit show. Brilliant idea to start a ‘fuss’ at the end of the season to get everyone riled up. Bigger problem will be how to make Riggs not dead after being shot through a tank top. Bring Crawford back. Clayne: behave yourself if that really happened. I don’t think it did.
There is no show without Crawford as Riggs, and the Riggs/Murtaugh duo. This is our FAVORITE show aired right now! Please bring back for season 3 WITH Crawford!!
Absolutely Love this show and Crawford…think he would be hard to replace.
I will not watch another episode of Lethal Weapon without Clayne Crawford. Go ahead and cancel because it will never be the same without him. The chemistry between him and Wayans was perfect. Worst mistake ever in firing Clayne.
Crawford is by far my favorite on the show. I would watch LW on a trial basis to see if I liked the replacement. However, Crawford’s Riggs made that show.
