    WTH?! I thought he did a great job.

    This sucks! The show was looking so good, and moving to Thursdays looked like a bold move.
    Sure this may not be a HUGE lost (like as if Peter,Walter or Olivia would leave), but losing a key member of the cast can be dangerous for momentum.

    It won’t matter. Fox put “Fringe” in the death slot on Thursday nights so it will get cancelled soon anyway. Shame, its such a good show too.

  • Adam

    Too bad, this show had all the momentum!

    I can’t say Charlie really contributed much to the show, so this isn’t a big loss. Still, getting fired always sucks. Maybe they’ll bring in a more interesting character to replace him.

    test

  • sally

    It was actually reported here first

    If you look at your like you will see they even quote them.
    Do you do any research yourself?

  • Sally M

    What?

  • miameows

  • penny

    Are you frakking kidding me???
    Ausiello you must get to the bottom of this ASAP!!
    Agent Francis was crucial to the show! one of the reasons I watched, this is f-up to say the least. I’m not happy.

  • Nate

    Are you kidding me? This is so wrong in so many levels! Charlie Francis was crucial to the show and a key cast member?
    I’m not happy.

  • Carrie Ann

    What?! Why would they do that? I love Charlie! First, they move the show to Thursday nights and now they’ve fired one of my favorite actors on the show. This sucks. How are they even going to explain his absence?

  • Andy G.

    Well, that’s a classy way to go. Too bad, I really liked his character.

  • Marty duh Marine

    Oh man! I liked his character. It had a lot of potential!

  • Konfide-N-Me

    well that sucks… it’s not like he was eating up screen time anyway so why let him go

  • So

    Did they really need his character anyway?

  • dave

    WTF?!?! I liked him a lot actually. He had great chemistry with Anna Torv. I don’t really get they they would do this.

  • josh

    Wow – I’m shocked. I liked his character on the show. I wonder what the rationale was behind his being let go – budget cuts?

  • josh

    Wow – I’m shocked. I liked his character on the show. I wonder what the rationale was behind his being let go – budget cuts?

  • josh

    I can’t believe we won’t have any more Charlie Francis. I wonder what the rationale was behind this – budget cuts?

  • Ben

    Is it just that they didn’t know what to do anymore with his character or something personal?

  • John

    That’s weird. His character is not central, but someone has to serve that function of being Olivia’s liaison to what is happening in the FBI. Maybe they wanted to cut budget and get someone they could pay less, or they wanted to get rid of the minorities (watch Astrid kick the bucket next!)

  • Roman

    I have said this and I will say it again, if there is one thing FOX is good at is that they always eff it up. ‘Nuff Said!

  • Ryan

    hey that sucks. I’m not an actor but I got fired for BS last week myself. Honestly though, I always thought he could do better. Even on Black Donnellys, which had like twice the cast he had more of a part.
    Good luck to you Kirk, you can get a better part than Charlie.

  • Kaiulani

    I liked the work relationship between Charlie and Olivia. Bummer…..

  • plinstrot

    “Oh no they didn’t” is right! This may sound weird but Charlie was my favorite character on the show! Hopefully they’ll still bring him back as a recurring character, though it sounds like they didn’t part on the best of terms.

  • Chappel

    Looks like he’s a victim of budget cuts. Too bad, I thought he was a good fit for the show.

  • Kerry

    While I enjoyed him on the show, his character was kind of worthless.
