Bruce Greenwood has been cast as mad patriarch Roderick Usher in Netflix’s upcoming horror series “The Fall of the House of Usher,” director Mike Flanagan announced on Friday. Greenwood, whose previous work with Flanagan includes the Netflix horror film “Gerald’s Game,” is replacing Frank Langella after the Tony-winning actor was fired for “inappropriate conduct” on set.
“I’m elated to welcome my dear friend, the brilliant BRUCE GREENWOOD to THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER as the iconic Roderick Usher. This will be our 4th collaboration (because yes, I absolutely count the background ghost cameo in HILL HOUSE),” wrote Flanagan.
