Frank Langella Under Investigation For Alleged Sexual Harassment On Set

Actor Frank Langella is reportedly under investigation over allegations of sexual harassment on the set of a new Netflix series.

According to TMZ, a source close to the production said the allegations had been made in the last couple of weeks while filming The Fall of the House of Usher.

The 84-year-old is accused of making a sexually inappropriate joke on the set in British Columbia, as well as touching the leg of a female co-star during a scripted performance and asking, “Did you like that?”

Langella is set to star as Roderick Usher in the new series, which is based on the short story published by Edgar Allan Poe in 1839.

Though filming for the show reportedly commenced back in January, the alleged investigation is said to have had little to no effect on production as Langella was not required on set this week.

Local police say they have yet to receive any reports involving Langella.

Some of Langella’s best-known work includes his Academy Award nominated performance in Frost/Nixon, as well as starring roles in Dracula and Diary of a Mad Housewife.
