Thomas Gibson has been fired from “Criminal Minds” following an on-set fight.
“Thomas Gibson has been dismissed from ‘Criminal Minds,'” ABC Studios and CBS Television Studios said in a joint statement Friday. “Creative details for how the character’s exit will be addressed in the show will be announced at a later date.”
Gibson, 54, was initially suspended for two episodes of the CBS series after a physical altercation with co-executive producer and writer Virgil Williams two weeks ago.
On Friday, Gibson told Page Six in a statement, “I love ‘Criminal Minds’ and have put my heart and soul into it for the last 12 years. I had hoped to see it through to the end, but that won’t be possible now. I would just like to say thank you to the writers, producers, actors, our amazing crew, and, most importantly, the best fans that a show could ever hope to have.”
The actor had previous on-set outbursts, TMZ reported, including one in which he pushed an assistant director and was subsequently sent to anger management courses.

Fired for some pushing and shoving?....lol... In Hollywood in the good old days there were scraps and fistfights. And the movie resumed filming the next day as if nothing happened.
I didn’t notice it until you mentioned it, but yes she does look kind of like Chelsea.
Some of the same people who heap scorn upon "reality" shows, love that perverted dreck.
He wasn’t bad in “Karma and Greg...”
Yup....she had no problem whatsoever did she!
I’ve never seen the show. Do they catch the bad guys inside one episode?
I think all these shows would be better if they stretched an arc over three episodes. You can show the hard work that goes into catching the bad guys, have time for developing characters, and not run out of interesting stories to tell.
I have not watched CM in years. Most times, these kinds of police dramas wrap up in a single episode. The plots do occasionally run 2 or 3 episodes.
One problem with such serial killer/autopsy lab dramas is that they try to up the stories with more horrific crimes and more ways to show mangled bodies.
