The Fly Team must make do without Scott Forrester as Luke Kleintank exits FBI: International, Deadline reports. In a shocking turn of events, the show has now lost two of its original cast members who have been a staple since the first season. Kleintank's final episode will air next month on May 7. His exit follows that of Heida Reed, who has served as Kleintank's co-star since the series premiered in 2021. In a statement, Kleintank revealed why he had decided to leave the show, citing his family, who are his prime concern. Read what he had to say below:
“After much thought and consideration, I’ve made the difficult decision to leave FBI International. This decision is driven by my unwavering commitment to my family, whose love and well-being are paramount in my life. I’m profoundly thankful for the extraordinary cast and crew of the show, who have not only been colleagues but also a family away from home. Their unwavering dedication and remarkable talents have made every moment on set an unforgettable journey that has enriched my life in countless ways. Lastly, I would also like to extend my thanks to the fans who have supported us through the first three seasons.”
Reed exited the show in the Season 3 premiere as her character was written out. Agent Kellet left the Fly Team and moved to the DC field office, revealing that it was time to return home as she had been running away from the grief arising from her sister's suicide. Her spot was filled by Christina Wolfe, who plays Amanda Tate.
