Langella, who was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor for Frost / Nixon in 2008, was set to play Roderick Usher in the streamer’s eight-episode horror film inspired by many of Edgar Allan Poe’s stories. The investigation was completed in order in the middle of the production, which means that the role of the actor will be restated and the plans of 84-year-old Langella will not be used, according to a source who knows the situation. THR has learned that the investigation began after Langella was accused of making inappropriate comments to one of her co-stars. Netflix declined to comment. A representative of the star did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The deadline was the first report of Langella leaving. The play comes from the Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass of Mike Flanagan and Trevor Macy. Mark Hamill, Carla Gugino, Mary McDonnell and Carl Lumbly are among the cast members previously announced. Langella is also known for appearing in films such as Masters of the Universe (1987), Good Night, and Good Luck (2005), Robot & Frank (2012) and The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020). He has starred in TV series such as Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, FX The Americans and Showtime’s Kidding.
