Unfortunately, it appears as though Thomas Gibson’s reputation has never fully recovered following his shocking dismissal from “Criminal Minds” in 2016. Since he got fired, the actor has only had two acting projects to his name, including a stint on the 2017 indie film “Axis” and a starring role on the 2019 action film “Shadow Wolves.” More recently, he’s returned to his theater roots as part of the ensemble cast of Charles Busch’s Off-Broadway play “Ibsen’s Ghost.” Speaking with Theater Mania in March 2024, Gibson expressed his joy over returning to his first love, theater, after decades of only doing TV, saying, “I’m happy to be here, and I was certainly happy to utilize the security of rehearsal.” He also explained what he loves most about theater as a medium. “It feeds you in ways that are very different than any other kind of work as an actor or even as a director. I mean, I understand what I was doing and why I did what I did. But it makes me kick myself a little bit for not doing more theater,” he said.
In 2018, it was confirmed that Gibson is officially divorced from his ex-wife, Christine Gibson, four years after they quietly separated in 2014. The pair married in 1993 and are parents to three children — including sons James, 24, Travis, 21, and daughter Agatha, 19.
