Lisette was supposed to play a Behavioral Analyst named Syd Ortiz on the drama. It turned out that her character did not fit in well, Deadline reports, and adds it was “not a reflection of [Lisette‘s] work.”
As she’s only 25 years old, the role may have been miscast. As Deadline put it, “she played too young for an FBI Special Agent.”
Lisette‘s exit from the show comes after another star just recently departed.
