Giulia Parmigiani / (C)Netflix / Courtesy Everett Collection "I waited for them to call me, but ultimately, it never came, and they just fired me," Rupert went on. "Show business is always very difficult, from the beginning to the end."

I don't know why," he continued, before admitting that he was deeply impacted by this decision. (C)Netflix / Courtesy Everett Collection "For me, it was a tragedy. I was in bed for two weeks because I couldn't get over it," Rupert told the publication. Dave Benett / Getty Images While Netflix declined to comment on Rupert's claims, a source close to the production told Vanity Fair that Rupert had only ever been hired as a guest star, and his character's story had already reached its conclusion.
