In the wake of the sexual assault charges leveled against him, embattled actor, Kevin Spacey has been dropped from the lead role of the historical drama, 1242: Gateway to the West. Per Variety, the actor will no longer lead the movie as negotiations are ongoing to find a replacement.

This isn't the first time Spacey's unsavory behavior has cost him a role.
