The Netflix series The Fall of the House of Usher was rocked by controversy during production, and star Kate Siegel opened up on what it was like at the time.Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s stories and developed for Netflix by Mike Flanagan, The Fall of the House of Usher featured an ensemble cast that originally included actor Frank Langella. During production, it was reported that Langella had been fired following allegations of “unacceptable conduct” on the set. Actor Bruce Greenwood was later brought in to replace him with reshoots for Langella’s scenes. Addressing the incident with WFPK (per JoBlo), Siegel recalled how the situation was “heartbreaking” at the time, but things got better when Greenwood quickly became a part of the family.She added, “Because Mike has spent so much time building an amazing set life and experience and family, and to know that one person can come in and just f—k that s—t up made me furious. I think when Bruce came, there was palpable relief from everybody because we had a scene partner, we had somebody who we respected and respected us, and a family member back. I think it just, for me, solidified that feeling that you don’t need to be tortured to be an artist. You can be a good person and show up and do your job, even if you’re playing somebody extreme, even if you are in extreme situations, you are capable — anybody’s capable — of being sane, pleasant and professional on set.“
