F Murray Abraham has released a statement to say he is sorry for his actions after he was dismissed from his role on Mythic Quest.
It was said the White Lotus star was removed from the cast of Rob McElhenney's Mythic Quest after alleged misconduct complaints were made against him.
The actor, 83, left the show last April and the reasons for his departure weren't known at the time.
But now, following reports of at least two complaints against the veteran actor, he has spoken about his sorrow of "jokes" that might have upset people.
"This is a sincere and deeply felt apology," he said in a statement.
Variety continued his words: "Though never my intention to offend anyone, I told jokes, nothing more, that upset some of my colleagues and as a result lost a great job with wonderful people.
"I have grown in my understanding from this experience, and I hope they will forgive me."
Earlier in the week, a source to ld Rolling Stone that the actor was let go following reports of the second complaint. It's claimed at this point the show's creator, Rob McElhenney, was made aware of the issue and made the decision.
A Lionsgate statement to the publication read: "We take allegations of misconduct seriously and investigate them thoroughly.
"As a matter of corporate policy, we do not discuss our personnel actions."
The character played by the veteran actor had been an integral part of the show and someone who the fans had enjoyed.
He played the role of CW Longbottom but was subsequently killed off in season three, which aired at the end of last year.
Longbottom worked in a game studio for the fictional game called Mythic Quest and was the head game writer.
As well as Mythic Quest, Abraham has featured in a number of other films, including The Grand Budapest Hotel, Robin Hood, Homeland and How To Train Your Dragon along with many more.
His latest role came as Bert Di Grasso in White Lotus, which co-starred Jennifer Coolidge, Theo James and Aubrey Plaza.
The Mirror contacted McElhenney's representatives and Lionsgate for comment.
