Actor Frank Langella poses in the press room with the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Play at the 70th Annual Tony Awards at The Beacon Theatre on June 12, 2016 in New York City.
Frank Langella, who was cast to play the lead in Netflix's limited series “The Fall of the House of Usher” has been fired from the show amid a misconduct investigation that came after a sexual harassment allegation.
According to Deadline, sources confirmed that the investigation determined Langella had been involved in unacceptable conduct on set. Earlier this week, TMZ reported that the 84-year-old Oscar-nominated actor allegedly made inappropriate comments to a female co-star.
Langella was set to play Roderick Usher in the series. Additional cast members include Carla Gugino, Mary McDonnell, Carl Lumbly and Mark Hamill.
The eight-episode series is based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe. The cast will continue filming as Langella's part is now being recast.
He was. Great movie.
Well, you accuse someone after the production is over and the money is made, and Hollywood will probably cheer you on. You accuse them during production, then you are just sabotaging their profits and nobody will hire someone who does that.
One movie I have seen him in lately is a humorous story set in the near future about a retired cat burglar (FL) with a robot companion whom he teaches to pick locks and help him in burglaries, as well as do his laundry.
It’s called “Robot and Frank”.
That happened about 2 years after no one would hire her.
Personally, I liked much of the work she did. I hoped she would have been able to do more. She seems to be poison now. Maybe some day in the future she will return to either the large or small screen.
Perhaps parents of school children with all this grooming going on can sue principals and teachers for creating hostile workplaces with their offensive speech and actions.
I would love to see that. Groomers of children have no place in any society.
probably will be charged with assault with a dead weapon.
What did he say? “Nice hooters”?
