11 TV Characters Punished By Death For Their Actor’s Behaviour

Fox's Lethal Weapon TV series was thrown into turmoil when, after two seasons, Clayne Crawford was dismissed from the show.

There doesn't appear to be one inciting incident, but a series of alleged bad behaviour from Crawford led to his firing. That includes a number of clashes with co-star Damon Wayans, with audio revealed of one such heated argument they had on set, and Wayans publicly complaining of his fellow actor making it an unsafe working environment, posting a picture of him having been hit by shrapnel.

Sean William Scott was confirmed to replace Crawford, but it was unclear what would happen to Riggs. However, with the third season now underway, it's been revealed that Riggs - who was shot in the Season 2 finale - did indeed die.
