David Krumholtz by Cliff Lipson/CBS
Their Number is up. Actor David Krumholtz, star of the CBS series, confirmed to TV Guide at Sunday's Movies Rock event, "Yeah, we stopped working."
Fans will be disappointed even though Krumholtz says they were able to complete "12 episodes, and we got two episodes past the strike deadline." And the last episode shot won't necessarily be a satisfying roundup or a finale. "In fact, the last episode is a very strange episode, just sort of another episode of Numbers, nothing crazy special. It's odd. We got cut off."
None of this is morale-boosting. Everyone, he says, feels "terrible. It's weird to say goodbye to crew members you've worked with for three and a half years and not know if you're ever going to see them again. No one wants to end it like that."
Krumholtz is confident the show will be returning, but even that is bittersweet right now. "We'll definitely get another season, but crew members will move on — they're not going to wait around for the strike to end. It's a bummer." — Reporting by Carita Rizzo
