Question
I know that Kirk went on Facebook saying he was fired which caused the showrunners to scramble and do damage control saying they didn't fire him. But did he ever talk about what happened? I know many of the cast had a hard time on the show, but did he ever discuss his experience on the show?

Q&A
My recollection from the time is that he was cast in Prime Suspect and couldn’t do both shows so he was killed off and that it was more or less amicable and at his request (or at least he preferred the PS gig). When that show flopped he did get some additional time on Fringe as a Shapeshifter and as alt-Charlie.
Kirk used to come into my bar (so did a lot of people from the wire and Oz) because it was down the street from a really well known off broadway theatre. He was a MESS. Eventually we banned him and solely had his photo behind the bar to never be served. The only other person to be up there a year later was Michael Maronna, the older brother from Pete and Pete.
Holy shit, you should elaborate on both. Huge Pete and Pete fan, that’s sad
Kirk was just overall gross. He constantly started fights or would be hyper aggressive towards women. It got to a point where he blacked out everyday and had to be cut off. Michael on the other hand was a singular event. I personally cut him off for being a cunt and turned my back on him to take care of something else. our bar stools were bolted to the ground but swiveled. He got up on his knees on the stool, took his dick out, and started pissing on the bar. I ran towards him and he tried to turn, fell off the bar head first and knocked himself out. He laid there face up still continuing to piss all over himself laying on his back. Awesome Tuesday.
This was way more fun to read than I was prepared for.
Goddamn. That story is fucked on both parts lol. I loved The Adventures of Pete and Pete, and Charlie was one of my favorite characters on Fringe bc he was such a solid dude and good friend to Olivia. Always wild to hear how messy human beings can get.
Bruhhh! I hope you took video and/or photo evidence to corroborate your position
This was early 2000s pre smart phones. I had a razor at the time. He was also pissing everywhere in public my last thought was taking a pic or video…but yeah I totally wish I had video.
I feel vindicated because despite me literally never interacting with him directly on Twitter, he has me blocked - his wife follows me (idk why I have like 700 followers on Twitter) so I assume he saw some post he didn’t like lmao
In response to your post below and this one, as well as out of respect for Agent Charlie Francis, how can we confirm you’re not a jaded one night stand, or worse, just a fan who hated his character and are now painting this narrative?
Genuinely curious and by no means defending any stated behaviors.
My sentiments exactly
Lmao!! This is a complete lie. You know how I know??? Because I am the real Kirk Acevedo. I barely drink. I Can recall on 1 hand how many times I’ve been intoxicated. Trust me if I was drunk and aggressive to woman with my picture on a bar, everyone would know about this. BTW what’s the bar called that has my picture on the wall saying I’m persona non grata??? You can’t name one because it isn’t true.
Get a life asshole

Cool. It was the Bullmoose saloon on 44th and 9th in Hell’s Kitchen. Seriously doubt this is really you but either way this is 100% fact on my end.
Kids, this is what happens when you fall off the convention circuit.
I feel like Kirk Acevedo has BIG feelings. But I also think that when they reset everything in S4 they could have brought OG Charlie back. They didn’t. 🤷🏻♀️
I think he was doing other shows by that point. Dude is always working.
Love him on 12 monkeys, too!!
And 'Band of Brothers'.
Fun fact: Charlie's wife in 'Unleashed' is Kirk's wife (Kiersten Warren) in real life.
I remember that with kirk avacado

It was around the same time that the budget got cut too and Abrams had to streamline his storylines. So they fired him as a regular and kept him as a guest if I remember. I was a watcher of the show as it aired, so I remember the discourse.
Abrams sometimes needs an editor or he can introduce too many ideas or too much of something at once. And while people were worried about how it would affect the show, reducing his budget made him focus on the most important aspects, which felt like a cleaner and clearer storyline.
He was originally hired and made a lot more than Anna Torv, the lead, when things started to be tougher financially, I know it became an issue.
