Better Call Saul Canadian actor Michael Mando, who also appeared in Orphan Black, has reportedly been fired from the Apple TV+ show Sinking Spring. Sources state that Mando had a “clash with a co-star” or an “on-set incident,” resulting in his dismissal from the Ridley Scott-produced series. Despite attempts to resolve the issue, producers decided to terminate Mando’s contract and recast the role, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
