Clayne Crawford explains what really happened on Lethal Weapon set](https://youtu.be/u908kIaj12U) There is actually an interesting podcast that actor who played Riggs did after being fired. He explained how the other actor, Damon Wayans, was actually not showing up to set according to him. Mistreating some of the writers, crew, etc. He said he would have to help rewrite pages a day before shooting, just to cater to him and he wouldn't get writing credit. Then when he complained they backed up Wayans, because he is more of a household name.

Then one day when Wayons didn't want to a do even a small amount of stunt work(just striding into a building with a prop gun, because he got injured once on set. Riggs actor, Craford, said he then confronted Damon by his trailer and someone filmed it. He said people on set thanked him for standing up to him, but then when the executives fired him, they did not back him up. There was also a leak where he yelled at someone while directing, but he said that context was a guest actor was really working hard on an intense scene, but loud noises kept happening in the background and no one on set was taking care of the issue. Crawfor stated that he felt bad for the guest actor.

All in all not sure who's in the right, but given the way he explains it and seeing his amazing performance in the show Rectify, I think he is just a passionate artist who worked on a very chaotic and factory like produced TV show.
