This was no one expecting it. Netflix has fired Frank Langella of ‘The Fall Of House Of Usher’ for his unacceptable behavior during filming. As reported by Deadline, an investigation was carried out to investigate what happened – there were complaints of sexual harassment, including making inappropriate comments to one of the co-stars – and, once concluded, this drastic decision has been made.
The first consequence of Langella’s departure is that It will be necessary to sign another actor to give life to Roderick Usher, the great protagonist of the function. In addition, they will have to re-record all the scenes that the Oscar-nominated actor had already shot for his wonderful work in ‘The Challenge: Frost vs. Nixon’.
The filming doesn’t stop
Yes indeed, the filming of the series does not stop, as it was already planned that Langella did not participate in the recordings during this week. While the new Roderick Usher is signed, ‘The Fall Of House Of Usher’ will continue with scenes in which the presence of this character is not necessary.
