How can this man be fired, honestly he was the reason why we tuned into the show because of Clayne. Damon was the co star of Claynes show. Clayne brought a lot of emotions, fun and laughter into the screen and Damon did the same thing every episode.

Saven Sharma, in the first few minutes of this video Clayne said he literally did not think it was possible to be fired. That mindset is outrageous, self-centered, and arrogance beyond reality supported. No one...NO ONE in this country immune from being fired no matter their position. For Clayne to believe he is immune from losing a job sets in a mindset he can behave in any manner without repercussion. LW, he also said, was his biggest break and yet he also said the decision makers told him he could do what he wanted. He NEEDED that job but he given complete control, and most people never heard of him before? That does not connect. Given Clayne's behavior required him to have babysitters of security guards so people could be safe around him made Clayne uninsurable. I liked him on LW, I really did but it comes down to this Clayne did not get fired. Clayne fired himself.

I'm a big lethal weapon fan, from the late 80's to now, I didn't think that the TV series would do the film's justice, but I was mistaken, Clayne brought so much rare talent that I am sure that Mr Gibson would have accommodated and applauded the actor playing this heroic character "Martin Rigg's", Clayne is what drew me to it, Clayne , without him there, only series 1 and 2 will sit on my DVD shelf, as you could invite the whole richard donner crew there, but it will not repair what has needlessly been done, End Of

I couldn't agree more. I loved the movies, and when I heard they were doing a TV series I thought it was a huge mistake. I thought for sure it would be a disaster. The only reason I checked it out at all was because Clayne was in it. I knew he was a good actor and was curious to see how he played Riggs. Needless to say, his portrayal was brilliant-even better than Gibson in many ways. I don't see how they think the show will work without him.

Your so right I think the show is still good with Seann taking the position of rigs but Clayne Just made it a whole lot better

I have to admit, when I first heard that they were bringing this show to TV, I was very skeptical of any actor being able to pull off the iconic character that Mel Gibson had created in the movies. I was so skeptical that I refused to watch the show. Two years later my sister told me she watched it and loved it. So I thought I would give it a try. After a few episodes, I became attached. Clayne really impressed me with the emotional depth in his performance of a man troubled by the unimaginable death of his pregnant wife (never mind the demons he was fighting before he met her). One night my husband said he "read something somewhere" about one of the actors getting fired from the show. When I found out it was Clayne I couldn't believe it. Now knowing the awful way things were playing out behind the scenes makes Clayne's work on screen even more commendable. How do you carry on in such a toxic work environment??? Hats off to you Clayne. I hope to see you in new material in the future. And btw, Damon is no Danny Glover.

Damon couldnt handle not getting all the attention. Clayne was awesome at Riggs. I would love to see more crazy characters from Clayne. He does the character well.

I said it had to be Damon. He was jelous of Clayne because he was getting all the attention on the show. How horrible to do that to someone because of your insecurities. Go Clayne! They should give him his own show.

The disrespectful way the show dealt with it is absolutely unacceptable. Zero professionalism, they show will not do well without him. Clayne has the best fans that stand like a wall behind him, keep going man !!!

There's having thick skin and then there's constantly tanning someone's hide, (albeit verbally) it can only last so long Honestly, it isn't normal for someone to get kicked off a show let alone somewhat derail it. I think Clayne created some amazing direction with the series. But if other actors can have their ideas integrated into a project without causing trouble, then one's got to wonder.. Mind you, Mel Gibson isn't exactly the man of the century is he, even though he's got buckets of looks and talent. *sigh Talented assholes. As for Damon, he said some intense shit about the Cosby controversy in recent years, but i can't find much to suggest that he's an ass to work with. Maybe he was too corny sometimes? Even so, he was an excellent Murtaugh. (Personally I don't think he was jealous of Clayne, but it is easy to make it look that way) Regardless, no-one else could have brought Riggs' role as much emotion and justice as Clayne. Riggs' death will go down in history as one of the most devistating on-screen deaths i ever saw

“I miss my girl.” That was the moment I fell in love with Clayne’s representation of Martin Riggs and became a diehard fan of the franchise. I’d never really been into the movies. It’s horrible to hear what he and the crew had to deal with and how poor there working conditions were. It makes the fact that we even got two seasons of gold to hold onto even more of a blessing. I love them, I love him and I look forward to seeing his future projects.

Claynes portrayal of Riggs was spot on. It was the reason I watched the show. He is a great actor and has the ability bring life to the characters he plays. Glad he had the opportunity to share his side of what happened.

They need to do a show solely about riggs while in Texas before leathal weapon. Would be amazing to see clayne get better ratings the this crap show of leathal weapon season 3. Hope the voice of the people is heard.

I love that he mentioned Christian Kane though, severely underrated and absolutely lovely guy. Don't think I've heard a negative word about him.

He’s an amazing actor and I couldn’t even watch another episode past him getting shot! I was so mad!! I hope he gets something better because he deserves it!

First I started out watching Lethal Weapon for Damon little be known the underdog Riggs was getting more scenes and I was starting to like Clayne and when the news broke out about Clayne I believe him even know I like Damon Wayans and still do but not much as I used too and lost respect for Damon when he hates working with Bruce Willis and to be fair Bruce Willis also hated working with Damon but the moment Damon Slander Clayne on twitter and Damon telling the Lethal Weapon Fans to kiss his black ass that was final straw of me really liking Damon and he needs to grow up and as for the third season of Lethal Weapon the ratings will sink like the Titanic.

Clayne was the reason I watched the show. He carried the show, such a great actor.

Maaannn. I've never watched "Lethal Weapon", I just know Clayne Crawford from "Rectify" where he was PHENOMENAL. And I 100% believe his side of this. Wow. Here's hoping his career doesn't suffer because the man is very talented and didn't deserve this smear campaign.

I refused to watch the show because I thought it was going to be tacky and didn’t know who this white guy was. Then I watched it, . . . . and I can’t imagine another Martin Riggs. It is true, no disrespect to D. Wayans, but Crawford made the show. It’s a shame, but at least I got to know of this actor. I’m eager to see what else he will work on.

Exactly my feelings too. I watched the first episode on Hulu for shits and grins thinking it would suck but his version of Riggs had me hooked and I’ve been binge watching it. Completely made me forget about Mel Gibson’s Riggs and that’s hard to do. It really is a shame but yes I look forward to seeing what clayne does now

Lethal Weapon without Riggs is Poker without the Aces.

Here in 2020 after just discovering LW, loving it and then making the mistake of googling about a season 4. I guess this show ends with Season 2.

I just re-watched the first 2 seasons. What an amazing piece of work the first 2 seasons were. It's very sad that they couldn't keep it going. Such great acting! Really something special.

I did a project with Clayne playing an abolitionist and me playing a runaway slave. Conversations on set with him definitely align with this interview. Real Salt of Earth type dude. So correct about Steve Harvey, he's the ideal TV Murtaugh that I would have been OK to watch this different version of Lethal Weapon.

I worked with Clayne , his either the best anything he wants to be.

So..Clayne clearly comes across as a person of integrity and professionalism...in a multi million dollar show ran like a joke. The show is dead and everyone associated with it, Clayne exempted, should be ashamed.

I honestly thought the show was going to be shit but I watched it cause I love the original and I was bored as hell. The heart that Clayne brought to the show is what hooked me right away. He made it more than guns and car chases. They had a great show and they screwed it up by letting him go!

When I heard about them making a series I instantly thought it was a stupid idea. When it came out I was curious because of Damon playing Murtaugh so I watched. My biggest concern and why I instantly dismissed it was Mel Gibson, he was so good and he made the films for me... What stands out the most from this interview is that Clayne thought exactly the same as what I thought, and probably a hell of a lot of other Lethal Weapon fans thought too. The fact that he realised that and tried his best to bring that character to screen (and absolutely nailed it in my opinion) meant the show did as well as it did. As soon as I found out he was fired from the show, I was out.

I said it the moment I saw Clayne’s first IG post about him being off the show: We will NOT be watching Lethal Weapon without Clayne Crawford! His portrayal of Riggs is what made the show any kind of success. Matter of fact, my husband and I almost didn’t watch because we can’t stand Damond Waynes. But we gave it a chance and I’m so glad we did. During the second half of the first season, our dear friend Ash Farley passed away suddenly at the age of 35. He left behind a wife and 7 kids. He was known for many great things but especially his mustache. Not only does Clayne look almost identical to Ash, but to then have a similar mustache...I say all of that because watching Clayne every Tuesday night was like getting to see Ash. Not to mention, just from following the little bit Clayne puts on social media...he’s just a great guy! Losing Clayne’s Riggs was a deal breaker for us on so many levels. And this KZread video just adds another confirming level! Thanks for putting this out there!

What are they thinking?!!! He was this show!

I'm a late bloomer fan for lethal weapon. I saw a clip on facebook a few days ago and I got hooked! I got hooked because of Clayne Crawford! It was his acting that made me watch the series!

Agree, he can’t hold a candle next to DW, regardless what happened or who’s at fault it was.

Hands down my favourite part of the whole series was when Riggs looks at Murtaugh and says ‘I miss my girl’. I’m not surprised that was improv from Clayne, I’ve been a fan of his for years and years. I can’t believe the show runner wanted to edit that out. That line was the epitome of Riggs. That’s why when we say ‘you cancel Clayne, you cancel the show’. He made that show what it was. It won’t survive season 3, and Clayne, Jordana and Hilarie are all better off.

Out of sheer curiosity i watched the pilot. Out of awe for Clayne's spot on take on his character i became a huge fan. He is amazing. Period. So now we are stuck with Stiffler and homey the clown. I would rather watch saved by the bell on a continuous loop. I can't wait to see what Clayne does next!!!

Thanks for finally telling your side Clayne. Cant wait to see what you do next, will follow your career till the end.

This just rings so deeply, deeply true. Not the first time one of my favorite actors has been crucified by the media. It's incredible that the leadership on the show has been able to get away with all that they have - I respect Clayne so much for being brave enough to speak out and stand up. God bless you, Clayne! Your fans will keep right on supporting you!

Clayne Crawford was the whole entire reason I watched that show and now that he is gone I will definitely not be watching.

@@MrAgodine It's not. Damon Wayans kind of ruined that show. It was his ego and assholishness that got Crawford booted. Or at least, that's what I heard. Shit, all I ever heard was how he kept trying to quit the show and the only reason why I went off the air was because of him. I don't even know why they contacted him with that reboot anyway, it would have been better without him. They had a perfect Riggs but I'm not so great Murtaugh.

*FANTASTIC interview!!!!* 👏👏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

When i watched the show i was in the worst depression crisis of all my life ... clayne made a character i could identify with ... and see what the character went through and sometimes refused to get help with ... that made me see a little of what my family suffered because of my depression ... This character grew with each episode and showed how the difficulties and all the tragedies that happen in our lives can be overcome. Since then I have become a big fan of this great actor. I don't know if this will be read by Clayne but here I would just like to leave my thanks. It was a horrible time in my life, losing my son and having to go on living. But this series, especially the character Riggs brought me a desire to act, to do something ... Thank you Clayne Crawford

Idris Elba, make it gritty!

I was hooked from the moment Riggs slid against the wall. the dramatic moments were what kept me watching. the drama and tragedy of the character is why i loved the show. Murtaugh was good as the stable family man, but its the interaction he had with Riggs that made his character interesting. Now those elements are all gone. So now Wayans can have his fun but the show is gonna be another generic cop show with some goofy humor and lots of over the top action sequences. thats not the least bit watchable, thats like a Michael Bay movie. totally cringeworthy and disappointing. Martin Riggs was the lethal weapon. No Riggs means its not the same show. Clayne made the character and tone of the show what it is and what i enjoyed about it. They lost me as a viewer .To this day i’ll watch whatever clayne is in. I’ll never watch a FOX show again.

Great interview by the Drinking Bros. An incredibley importsnt insight not just into the Lethal Weapon controversy but also into Hollywood and the poor treatment of staff. Huge respect to Clanye for his honesty, passion and general outlook and understanding.

We are all looking forward to your next show clayne... 😍

R.I.P. Lethal Weapon #3 (Sorry But It Is True and you know it)

These showrunners fire the man and call him unprofessional then he had to find out from social media that he was fired. These showrunners and network are unprofessional. Never will watch anything with Damon Wayans again.

Everyone wants to blame Damon for this but WB is the one that's really responsible for this whole mess. The way they managed this whole situation is so unprofessional it's crazy! They should have straightened Damon out and kicked him to the curb if he continued to be a problem... His acting was painful at times, he would have been easily replaced and the show would have been as good or better without him.

He's truly an incredible actor that needs so much more work and recognition. Amazing writer and director too it seems. Can't wait to see the next project he works on.

This definitely needs more shares and views.. Needs to be heard

I'm so glad that he was able to speak on his behalf. I don't really know the entire story, as we won't ever really, but truthfully, I am more geared towards believing him than the trash that came out of the rumor mill. I won't be watching that show without him and it was legitimately one of my new favorites!! It sucks, and I really hope he finds a new project!

First-sorry for my English, I'm French Canadian. Thank you for inviting your friend to speak the TRUTH and give his version and facts. There is always to side two a story. But I like Clayne's version way better :). Clayne - Thank you so much for opening up to us. You are an awesome actor. I discovered you on ''RECTIFY''.. and for those who did not watch that show yet, you should ;). Thank you also for explaining the true colours of the ''Hollywood world''. In my opinion, that you work on an Hollywood movie set or a construction site for what that matters, eveyone has a job to do and should show respect and professionalism to their coworkers. I think you were extremly patient with DIVA QUEEN Damon Waynes. Like you stated ''Lack Of Leadership- BIG TIME" from the executives. This will cost them a lot of money since the show will be cancelled. Not only you are a great actor but you are also professional and caring for the people who works with you. I'm happy that you are now the voice of the poor crew that was mistreated and can't even speak out, because of NDA's. I detected a HUGE PASSION in you when you spoke about DIRECTING episode 20. You should produce your own show, hire your own staff and use the social media platform to get the support of the public for a potential pilot. You are well connected now, and have the respect of every professional in the business. You should go for it !!! Use Netflix !! This is what everyone in your shoes did !!! :)Marie

Absolutely love Clayne! Thank you so much for being not only an amazing actor and such a wonderful family man. Not sure if you will ever read this but can't wait to see you in another show! Lots of love and blessings from Texas!! Stay safe...you are a fantastic actor!!!

clearly damon wayne's got his own lobby within Warner bros and was immensely insecure of this new lead actor coming into prominence and his talent shining brighter than damon waynes ego, which was making damon very jealous.

It's about time someone comes out and tells it as it is......I loved this show, was skeptical at first but the more I watched the more I enjoyed......but now it's time to let it goes. Will be following your new project with interest and wish you good luck Clayne Crawford ❤️

There's one fan who appreciates Clayne's portrayal of Riggs because he himself felt the exact same pain - he lost his pregnant wife. I hope that Clayne finds out about this because of what he meant to that guy, and that the networks know that that's what they took away.
