Thomas Gibson issued a statement after he was fired and spoke about his love for the series and for the people who watch Criminal Minds. I would just like to say thank you to the writers, producers, actors, our amazing crew, and, most importantly, the best fans that a show could ever hope to have.
He spoke to People about his side of what really happened. He said he was filming the second episode of season 12 on July 26 when things got a little heated with Virgil Williams. Gibson said he came back to the set and shared the information with others, and Williams appeared. We had some choice words, for which I apologized the next day, and that was it.
Jack's first appearance is in " The Fox ", when his parents introduced him to the team as a newborn. After a handful of further appearances, he moves out of his childhood home in " In Name and Blood ", Haley's relationship with Hotch having become severely strained over the last few months.
From then on, there are little glimpses of him throughout the show when his father visits him, like in " Seven Seconds ", or when Hotch gets to watch some homemade videos he keeps with him, like in " Pleasure Is My Business ". His first notable appearance in a while is in " Nameless, Faceless ", when Hotch must say goodbye to him because his mother and him are being placed under witness protection, George Foyet having made it clear he intends to go after them to make Hotch suffer.
His next appearance is again in video format, this time shown to Hotch by U. Marshal Sam Kassmeyer in the episode " Reckoner ", and we learn his birthday is that day or a previous one.
In " ", he is seen with his mother in an unknown location when she gets tricked by Foyet, who is under the guise of a U. Marshal after killing Kassmeyer, into going back to their old home, where he is waiting for them. In his eagerness to make Hotch suffer, Foyet allows a lengthy phone call between Haley, Hotch, and Jack, and his father gets to tell him to "work the case", a code phrase for him to hide in a bin and wait for his dad to get him, which will be a fundamental factor to save his life.
He is seen again in " The Slave of Duty ", first at his mother's funeral and wake and later with his father at the condo where they are going to live together; in a couple of sequences it is revealed how much he misses his mother, and that he thinks his father is like Captain America , his favorite hero. In " Devil's Night ", Jack and Hotch debate on what costume the former should dress for Halloween, and Jack wants to be a superhero, but he isn't sure which one yet.
By the end of the episode, he wears a black suit with a red tie, and when Hotch asks what kind of superhero he dressed up as, he replies, "I'm you, Daddy". It read: "I love Criminal Minds and have put my heart and soul into it for the last 12 years. I had hoped to see it through to the end, but that won't be possible now. I would just like to say thank you to the writers, producers, actors, our amazing crew, and, most importantly, the best fans that a show could ever hope to have.
This was not the first time Gibson was involved in an altercation on set, which may have contributed to the studios' swift action following the incident.
According to reports, he previously pushed a producer and, as a result, was sentenced to mandatory anger management classes, though he was not suspended at the time.
In , Gibson was also arrested on suspicion of DUI. In discussing his departure from Criminal Minds with People , Gibson attempted to explain what happened during the altercation that ended his tenure on the show.
Gibson said he then returned to the set where he was talking with castmates when Williams entered the room. As he brushed past me, my foot came up and tapped him on the leg," Gibson explained. We had some choice words, for which I apologized the next day, and that was it. It was over.
