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?
Recast. I like the show but not Crawford. Never has.
Look for another Hemsworth relative to replace
Ryan Reynolds would make a good replacement. Recast Riggs & bring the show back. The people that say they won’t watch if Riggs is recast will watch; at least the first few episodes just out of curiosity and if they do a good job with the recast they will stay.
I say recast. Give it one more season to see if a new Riggs can work. If it doesn’t then cancel. No use canning the entire crew and cast because of one bad apple.
I enjoy this show from the very first PROMOTE, I was hook and happy when it finally came on and now I wont be watching without Clayne Crawford playing Riggs and Damon playing together so another great show goes down the DRAIN . GOOD BYE LETHAL WEAPON!!!!!!!!!!
I will not be watching Lethal Weapon if Clayne Crawford is not on the show. Hopefully they can put a side their differences and have a 3rd season. If they don’t then I agree with Rainboi the shows will go down the drain!!
If Clayne isn’t there I just wouldn’t bother with any of it. Actors have kept their jobs for much worse many times. I was very skeptical going into the beginning of the show because I’m such a huge Lethal Weapon fan. I was pleasantly surprised and it quickly became my favorite show. I don’t think we could ask for any better portrayal of Riggs than Clayne. People make mistakes. We can only hope they learn from them and try to do better next time. Being involved in this industry in a very minor way a few years back I have… Read more »
Wont watch with Calyne – he made the show altho0ugh his Dad flashbacks is very old – glad he is gone.
Riggs is the show!! He does such an amazing job! If there are “ problems “ on the set than get someone to be the middle person. So Riggs only talks to the middle guy than the middle guy can soften it and get the message to whoever. He has not been charged with anything or convicted of anything! Typical fox and than they wonder why people watch CBC nbc abc Netflix etc……. you want this person to play a jerk crazy person on the show but than as soon as you call cut you want him to be perfect.… Read more »
Honestly I have fallen in love with Martin Riggs, you guys left season 2 finale how y’all left it. I’m not going to say (Incase not everyone watched it). But we need him, I need him, he’s the show re-casting him or adding someone else. I’ll tell you now – NONE will watch. He has made the show., I’m counting the days until season 3 returns, you have to bring Crawford back. Please – none wants another Martin Riggs, but him. I’ve never seen the movies I’m sure they’re great. But I love this show – and I’ll write posts… Read more »
I will not watch the show if they replace clayne Crawford. He and Damon wayans make the show. I would love for the show to come back so we can see the cliffhanger but it will not be as good without clayne. I was not there but based off his comments it didn’t seem like he was totally at fault. Actors have done way worse and have lasted way longer. Just saying.
If clayne Crawford had acted like a mature adult and hadn’t acted like a complete ass, maybe his relationship with mr. wayans wouldn’t have crumbled. if he had any loyalty towards mr. wayans and the rest of the cast and crew, if he still possibly cared about his relationship especially with mr. wayans he would work everything out with that man and tried to fix his relationship with him. it would be a shame if he didn’t come back as Riggs for a 3rd season because the program was fun to watch especially his relationship with murtaugh. the tv version… Read more »
Won’t watch without Riggs
I will not watch without Riggs! The 2 of them need to work it out so the show can continue….
I love the show. I record it every week just in case. I will NOT watch it next year if they kill off the Riggs (aka Clayne Crawford) that we have now. Its just that simple.
You can’t take Lethal Weapon off the air. We watch or record it every Tuesday without fail. So funny and such a great show. Clayne Crawford is the highlight. Bring it back please!!!!
