The departure of Luke Kleintank from FBI: International is another big change for the show. The actor will no longer play Supervisory Special Agent Scott Forrester after the third season ends. TVLine confirmed the decision, which was sent to Deadline by Kleintank in a statement. In it, they said they wanted to spend more time with their family and show their appreciation for the cast, crew, and fans.
In his statement, Kleintank said he was very grateful for his time on the show and talked about how he felt like he had become family with his coworkers and how the experiences on set had made him grow. On Tuesday, May 7, his last show will air. Then, on May 21, the Season 3 finale will air.
This news comes after Heida Reed left FBI: International earlier this year, which is another change to the show’s cast. Reed, who played Special Agent Jamie Kellett, left the show after the Season 3 opening in February.
Some people may be surprised that Kleintank is leaving, especially since there were hints in earlier stories that Forrester might be leaving. But the character kept going even though things were unclear at first and there were fights with legal attaché Ken Dandridge. Notably, Kleintank’s baby leave in 2023 added to the rumors about what would happen to his character, but in the end, fans were reassured that Forrester would stay.
CBS recently renewed the whole FBI franchise, which means that FBI: International will continue for a fourth season. The brand also renewed FBI: Most Wanted for a sixth season and the main show for three more seasons. But even though Kleintank is leaving, the brand is likely to keep showing up on TV for a while longer.
Fans are saying goodbye to Supervisory Special Agent Scott Forrester and looking forward to the end of the season. However, FBI: International’s impact is still changing. As the show moves on to its next episode, Kleintank’s contributions will no doubt be remembered.
