Hotch will be MIA for two episodes
Thomas Gibson, who plays Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner on Criminal Minds, has been suspended for two episodes this season after kicking a producer-writer in the leg during an argument.
"There were creative differences on the set and a disagreement. I regret that it occurred," Gibson said in a statement. "We all want to work together as a team to make the best show possible. We always have and always will."
Criminal Minds boss teases what's ahead in Season 12
This is not the first time Gibson has gotten into a physical altercation on the Criminal Minds set. According to TMZ, a few years ago he pushed another producer and had to attend anger management classes, though he was not suspended. In 2013, Gibson was arrested on suspicion of DUI.
CBS and ABC Studios had no comment.
Criminal Minds kicks off Season 12 on Wednesday, Sept. 28 at 9/8c on CBS.
