Why did he replace Ed Westwick as Mickey Argyll?

Three-part drama Ordeal by Innocence was originally lined up to broadcast over Christmas 2017. But in November, one of its stars – Ed Westwick – was accused by two women of sexual assault. Ed Westwick denies the allegations.

The BBC made the decision to remove Ordeal by Innocence from the schedules, but later confirmed that scenes involving Westwick as Mickey Argyll would be re-shot.

Christian Cooke joined the rest of the cast on location at Ardgowan Estate in Scotland in early 2018. Director Sandra Goldbacher told Radio Times: "The scenes were difference because Christian played it differently [to Westwick]... both performances had weight and integrity, but they were very different."
