Balthazar Getty Is Fired

• Tweet

Word on the street is that Balthazar Getty will not be returning as a full-time character on Brothers & Sisters. He's obviously too busy humping Sienna Miller to actually work on acting. However, he is reportedly in talks with producers to occasionally appear as a recurring character.

According to sources, Balthazar Getty, who plays the Oscar winner's eldest son, was informed last week that producers were not planning on picking up his option as a full-time series regular next season. However, that doesn't mean that Tommy's place setting at the Walker dinner table is being permanently removed. Not yet, anyway. Per a B&S source, Getty is currently in talks with the show to stay on in a reduced capacity, perhaps as a recurring guest star.

Sources also unveiled that Balthazar's affair with Sienna Miller has alienated him from the cast, many of who had grown close to his wife and four children. Getty is also often late to set and difficult to work with.
