Canadian actor Michael Mando, known for his roles in “Better Call Saul” and “Orphan Black”, has been let go from Apple TV+ series “Sinking Spring”.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, sources allege that Mando was “dismissed” from the Ridley Scott-produced series after what’s being variously described as “a clash with a co-star” and “an on-set incident.” According to sources, producers attempted to “smooth things out,” but ultimately decided to fire Mando and recast the role.

Oscar nominee Bryan Tyree Henry stars in the eight-episode series as Ray, mastermind of the heist gone wrong; Mando had been cast as Manny Cespedes, “a good-hearted friend of Ray’s,” who will now be portrayed by Moura.
