“like all things on Fringe, there is more to this story than meets the eye.” In fact Pinkner not only confirms to TV Guide Magazine that Acevedo “was not fired,” he hints that we’ll see more Agent Francis in season 2. Literally.

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

They did a wonderful job of casting “Fringe,” and it would be sad to see any of the regulars go. I could have lived without Agent Francis on the show, but I am happy to hear that he’ll be back next season.

But what was the deal with that Facebook update of his? Maybe the actor was fired from the show in a parallel universe…hmm…
