The guy who played Riggs in the lethal weapon TV series

The story as Clayne Crawford tells it was that Damon Wayans didn't want to be on the show. He took the job as part of a bigger deal to get his own project financed, but when Lethal Weapon turned out to actually be good he started phoning it in and being really difficult to work with because he was pissed that he was stuck on the project. Eventually it all came to a head with a huge fight between Crawford and Wayans on a difficult shooting location with Crafword getting the boot as he was the less known name attached to the show, but all that did was sink season 2 because Wayans was still there not giving a fuck.

He was fired because of the batshit crazy stuff on set, didn't they have to bring in the Pinkertons or some private security service to keep the peace?

He was fired because Damon Wayans was a diva who still bailed on the show anyway because he couldn't be a professional and just do the work after he got his co star squeezed out.

The Pinkertons from RDR?

Yes. They started as strikebreakers and private investigators, and now they are security services.

Doesn't matter why he was fired. This is a post about listing actors that left the show they were good on

Crawford was great on that show. It's Wayans who should've never been hired. I don't understand why they keep employing those Wayans guys. I don't recall any of them ever being funny.

Yes he was definitely an actor that was good on that show and had to leave for some reason I don't really care about because it's not relevent to this post
