Thomas Gibson was enjoying a 10-year run on Criminal Minds when his temper finally got the best of him. Gibson got into a fight with a producer in 2016, two episodes into filming the new season. He apologized, claiming his frustration arose from creative differences.

CBS and ABC announced very quickly that Gibson was being terminated from his contract. On the show, his character was placed on “special assignment” and was never heard from again.
