Thomas Gibson fired from ‘Criminal Minds’

I first became smitten with Thomas Gibson when he played the closeted gay Beauchamp Day on Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City in 1993. That’s the same year he had a gay role in the indie flick Love & Human Remains. I’ve been a fan ever since through his series roles on Chicago Hope, Dharma & Greg (even though I couldn’t really stand Dharma) and for the last 12 years on Criminal Minds which my mom always seems to have on. Well, it seems that handsome Thomas did a really ugly thing and it got him fired from the long-running CBS show. It seems he kicked a writer during an argument they had while working on an episode Gibson was directing. He said in a statement to USA Today: “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.”

3 Remarks

  1. I was so sorry to hear this happened. If he was that frustrated over a scene then perhaps it was time for him to go. I hope this means we’ll see more of him back home.

  2. Actors just can not going kicking writers! Prolly more to this than we know. Gibson was already a handful, no doubt. 12 years of reruns to watch. TV is never forever.

  3. Gibson’s character was pretty integral to the show. It will be interesting to see how they will work around his not being there any longer.
