Actor leaves FBI: International after three seasons

One of the original cast members of FBI: International is leaving the CBS series. Goodbye, Scott Forrester. Luke Kleintank is leaving FBI: International. Kleintank plays the head of the FBI flight team. His final episode as Scott will air soon.



“After much thought and consideration, I’ve made the difficult decision to leave FBI International,” the actor said. “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.”

Kleintank was appointed in July 2021 as one of the leads in FBI: International, the third series in Dick Wolf's FBI drama franchise. The drama follows the elite agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's International Fly Team, which is headquartered in Budapest.

The final episode with Kleintank will be broadcast on May 7 by CBS.

In February, Kleintank’s co-star Heida Reed left the drama after playing Special Agent Jamie Kellett since 2021. In her final episode, Kellett revealed she is “leaving this, the Fly Team,” and transferring to the Washington, D.C. field office. She explained to Scott that after her sister died by suicide, she had promised to “live my life for the both of us,” adding “I have served my country, fell in love, I ran away from my grief” and now, “it’s time to go back home.”

Dick Wolf, Matt Olmstead, Michael Katleman, Ernesto Alcalde, Arthur W. Forney and Peter Jankowski are executive producers of FBI: International. The series is produced by Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, in association with CBS Studios.

Earlier this month, the series - as well as FBI and FBI: Most Wanted - was renewed by CBS.
