Frank Langella leaves Netflix after investigation into misconduct | US TV

Oscar Nominated Actor Frank Angela He is out of Netflix series The Fall of the House of Usher after an investigation into misconduct.

according to The Hollywood Reporter And Limit, the 84-year-old Frost/Nixon star was found “involved in unacceptable behavior on the set.” The series, which was midway through production, is based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe. A Netflix spokesperson confirmed to The Guardian that the report is accurate.

An investigation was reportedly launched after Angela was accused of making inappropriate comments to a star.

The actor was not scheduled to be on set this week and filming will continue with scenes that do not include his character until the role is re-cast.

The series comes from Mike Flanagan, whose work includes The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass, and Doctor Sleep. The series has been described as “an epic tale of greed, horror and tragedy”.

He is also known for his theatrical work, winning four Tony Awards.
