Fringe Producer Denies Kirk Acevedo Firing

at .

Earlier this week, IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, Kirk Acevedo lamented his firing from Fringe.

But it sounds like the actor that portrays FBI agent Charlie Francis may have spoken too soon.

Executive Producer Jeff Pinkner told TV Guide Magazine that “like all things on Fringe, there is more to this story than meets the eye.”

Moreover Pinkner not only says that Acevedo “was not fired,” he hints that viewers will see more Agent Francis in season two. Twice as much, it sounds like.

“We have already seen two of him on the show,” said Pinkner. “We have already met the second Charlie. He had a scar on his face.”

Guess there really is more than one of everything, huh?

Fringe Quotes

Walter: It's a shame I don't have a lab. I'd like to examine him.
Peter: You do have a lab, Walter. Your lab at Harvard.
Walter: Yes. I do, don't I?

Just your average multi-national corporation specializing in secret bio research and defense contracting. Massive Dynamic. Seems like such an innocent name for a corporation, don't you think?
