Although he does appear briefly in the recent trailer, Scarecrow fans have noticed that the latest small-screen incarnation of the classic Batman villain hasn't really been featured in any marketing or promotion for the third season of Titans, and it looks like the reason has now come to light.
Deadline reports that actor Vincent Kartheiser is currently under internal investigation by Warner Bros. Television after complaints about his on-set behaviour were raised. The former Angel alum is alleged to have engaged in "disruptive, juvenile behaviour" and made several inappropriate comments.
No specific details were provided, but the first investigation is said to have been conducted after complaints of "verbal comments and outbursts," and a second was deemed necessary closer to the end of production. This time, the studio assigned a representative to monitor Kartheiser while he was on set.
“Vincent Kartheiser vehemently denies the allegations,” a spokesperson for the actor said in a statement. “Warner Bros investigated this matter and made clear to Mr. Kartheiser its expectations for behaviour on the set, and he agreed to comply with their directives.”
Kartheiser signed as a new series regular with a one-year deal in place, but he is not expected to return if the show is renewed for a fourth season.
