Early Life:

Clayne graduated from the Hewitt-Trussville High School and decided not to pursue his further education.

Professional Career:

After graduating from high school, Clayne set out to make a career for himself as a working actor. In 1996, he decided to leave for Los Angeles in search of more opportunities. While opportunities were far and few in between, Clayne worked as a construction worker while also making rounds of small theatres. His first credited role came in the TV series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This was back in 1997 when Clayne still went by the name of Joseph Crawford. In 2000, he changed his name to Clayne Crawford.

After the switch, Clayne did quite well for himself and secured roles in both movies and TV series. His first appearance on the big screen came in 2001 when he was cast in the movie One Blood Planet.

Fired from the show:

While Clayne had no shortage of works, his best work was in Lethal Weapon. But in 2018, Clayne was fired from the show due to his bad behavior on set. In a candid podcast, Clayne revealed that he had an outburst on set with Newman which was recorded on tape.

“This kind of shit would come up all the time and I’d go and complain. Once they had that tape anytime I complained they’d say this will come out and it will ruin your career. When the incident happened, I had to pay half my salary for that episode. I had to spend six weeks in anger management every day on my lunch break and had to be escorted from my trailer on set by a security guard. It was humiliating.”
