Thomas Gibson

Project: Criminal Minds

He seemed to enjoy playing his Aaron Hotchner role in Criminal Minds, but Thomas Gibson exited the show unexpectedly. While the actor was shooting for the second episode of the 12th season, a certain line caught his attention. He came to writer-producer Virgil Williams and nicely reported that the words “contradicted an earlier line.” Williams, on the other hand, replied that the line was “necessary.”

While having a conversation with his castmates, sharing what went down, Williams entered the room and an altercation came after. Unkind words were also heard that Gibson had to apologize. This caused him to get axed from the team. According to People, he only appeared for the first couple of episodes. Even for his absence, the show still aired three more seasons while its last episode was released on February 19, 2020. With a positive mindset, he still continued with acting and made an investment in the television film Shadow Wolves.
