An American actor, primarily on the stage but with some film and television credits. After making his Broadway debut in a 1966 production of Yerma, he went on to win four Tony Awards, for Best Featured Actor in a Play in productions of Edward Albee’s Seascape (1975), and Ivan Turgenev’s Fortune’s Fool (2002) and for Best Actor in a Play for Peter Morgan’s Frost/Nixon (2007) (where he played disgraced former American president Richard Nixon, a role he reprised in the 2005 film version directed by Ron Howard) and Florian Zeller’s The Father (2016). He was also nominated for his title role in Dracula (1978), another role he reprised on the big screen, Match (2004), and Man and Boy (2012).
he was mired in controversy in 2022, when he was fired from Mike Flanagan’s television mini-series The Fall of the House of Usher and replaced by Bruce Greenwood after being accused of sexual harassment, charges that Langella has denied.
