Frank Langella has been removed from his role in forthcoming Netflix series The Fall of the House of Usher after the streaming service conducted an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct.
While Netflix search for a replacement for Langella, filming of the show is expected to continue.
According to a report from Deadline, while the show is about halfway through production, Netflix intend to recast the part and then reshoot scenes Langella had already filmed.
The veteran actor, who is best known for his Oscar-nominated performance as Richard Nixon in Frost/Nixon, was subject to an investigation by Netflix, who found he had engaged in unacceptable conduct while on set.
