Frank Langella, 84, is at center of sexual harassment probe over behavior on Netflix limited series

Actor Frank Langella is at the center of a sexual harassment probe over his alleged behavior on the set of the Netflix limited series The Fall of the House of Usher.

The Bayonne, New Jersey-born actor, 84, has been accused of multiple instances of inappropriate behavior on the British Columbia, Canada set of the show, production sources told TMZ Wednesday, but hasn’t been fired or suspended.

Among the alleged incidents, the source told the outlet, include a joke Langella told that had sexual overtones, and an instance in which he touched the leg of a female actress (during a scripted performance) and joked, ‘Did you like that?’

The production of the Netflix limited series has not been impacted by the probe, sources told the outlet, as Langella did not have any scenes to film this week.

Police told the outlet that no reports have been filed in connection with the veteran actor. A Netflix rep told the outlet the company doesn’t comment on ‘active employment matters.’

Langella plays the role of Roderick Usher in the series, which was created by Mike Flanagan.

Other members of the cast include Mark Hamill, Carla Gugino, Willa Fitzgerald, JayR Tinaco, Mary McDonnell, Kate Siegel, Zach Gilford, Henry Thomas, Annabeth Gish and Malcolm Goodwin, according to iMDb.
