Amazon said Thursday that after an internal investigation of the matter, it decided to cut ties with the veteran actor as it moves forward with a fifth season of the show, according to several published reports.
In November Tambor told Deadline that he could not return to the show given its “politicized atmosphere.”
Tambor joins a list of high-profile actors/on-air personalities that have departed shows due to sexual harassment allegations, including Kevin Spacey (House of Cards), Matt Laurer (NBC Today) anad Louis C.K. (Louie).
