Gibson fired from Criminal Minds

Thomas Gibson has been fired from Criminal Minds, according to TMZ. Producers of the CBS drama announced Friday the actor won’t return to the show for the 12th season. “Thomas Gibson has been dismissed from Criminal Minds,” read a statement. “Creative details for how the character’s exit will be addressed in the show will be announced at a later date.” Gibson was suspended from the show after kicking a writer/ co-executive producer in a dispute over a scene Gibson was directing. The actor was ordered to anger management classes a few years ago after striking someone else on the crew. Gibson told TMZ: “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.”
