Thomas Gibson has been dismissed from the long-running CBS drama Criminal Minds.
ABC Studios and CBS Television Studios, which produce the series, made the announcement Friday with no further details.
"Thomas Gibson has been dismissed from Criminal Minds. Creative details for how the character's exit will be addressed in the show will be announced at a later date," the studios said in a statement.
The firing was preceded by an apology by Gibson on Thursday.
"There were creative differences on the set and a disagreement. I regret that it occurred," he said.
"We all want to work together as a team to make the best show possible. We always have and we always will."
Gibson refused to provide details on what occurred.
According to industry publication The Hollywood Reporter, the "disagreement" was an altercation between Gibson, who also directs episodes of the series, and a writer. Initially, on Thursday, news emerged that Gibson would be suspended for two episodes.
Gibson has starred on Criminal Minds — a show that follows a group of FBI profilers — since its premiere in 2005.
He previously starred in the hospital drama series Chicago Hope and the sitcom Dharma & Greg.
