Thomas Gibson Hires Lawyer After 'Criminal Minds' Firing

Thomas Gibson has hired a lawyer after his dismissal from his television show Criminal Minds.

The 54-year-old actor was fired from the show after he kicked a writer in the shin.

Thomas has hired litigator Skip Miller‘s law firm, Miller Barondess, to represent him. Us Weekly reports that the firm will determine if Thomas should file suit against producers for his removal from the show.

Thomas had starred on the show since the beginning in 2005 in the role of FBI special agent Aaron Hotchner.
