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?
Would not watch if Crawford leaves
The show won’t be as good or the same without Crawford!!! He is amazing on this show and can’t be replaced. I probably won’t watch it without him.
No Clayton as Riggs not interested
I will boycott all fox show
I liked Riggs a lot and am sorry to hear he wont be returning – I hope he lands in another series! I like Lethal weapon and would continue to watch. If he was recasted. It would be interesting if he had a mity mouse type character – an unexpected maybe even kind of a nerdy but lovable super hero .
CRAWFORD IS THEE STAR OF THE SHOW SO IF THEY BRING IN SOMEONE ELSE HE BETTER BE REALLY, REALLY, GOOD. REALLY GOOD
Won’t watch if Crawford is out. My favorite part of the show
Don’t cancel series. Loose Crawford. Absolutely loose Crawford.
I like the cast the way it is and I wish it could stay the way it is. However, I would watch if Damon was captain and a new lethal weapon team was cast. It’s gotta be someone I really liked though because the only reason I watched was because of Clayne Crawford and Damon Wyans, they are both good at what they do. Please don’t cancel it!!!
I am absolutely gutted to hear Clayne has been fired. This is a brilliant programme and I watch it religiously ever week. All of the cast really gel and this is what makes the programme. Clayne is brilliant and could never be replaced by any one else it wouldn’t work. If he definitely won’t be in season three then count me out I wont be watching another episode. Sorry Fox you have made a huge mistake and it’s a shame for the rest of the cast as the show is brilliant.
Will not watch without Riggs.
Please leave the cast the way it is. Clayne Crawford needs to be part of the series. I am an avid watcher and love the series. It would be a shame to cancel it.
yes Clayne Crawford needs to be in season 3 otherwise it wouldn’t be the same…everyone seems to have great chemistry together! This is really bad to hear that he was fired. I probably wouldn’t watch it unless he is in it as it isn’t the same.
PLEASE don’t let Riggs die and PLEASE renew him for season 3. He’s why I watch this show!
I absolutely LOVE the lethal weapon series, at first when the show started, I only watched it out of curiosity, then I found out wayans was in it, great I thought, I like the wayans, then I saw Crawford, didn’t know much about him or his acting, but he grew on me by the end of the first episode. Now every Friday night with my kids and girlfriend, we sit chill and look forward to the show, we all enjoy every episode, and laugh at it, especially Crawford, 🙂 But IF Crawford is out, then I’m sorry dude, it won’t… Read more »
Please bring Riggs back.
