His firing comes as a surprising turn of events, and fans immediately expressed their disappointment that he is no longer part of the show.
It has been reported that “Better Call Saul” star Michael Mando has been fired from the Apple TV+ series and the crime drama “Sinking Spring” after getting into a fight with a co-star on set. Michael was even immediately replaced as a result.
According to reports obtained by numerous news organizations, Mando and another actor, whose name has not been disclosed, got into a physical altercation on the set of the movie, which led to his dismissal from the production.
The exact cause of what transpired is still unknown, but Wagner Moura’s replacement has made it apparent that the actor’s termination from his alleged role in the crime drama, in which he is rumored to have starred with Brian Tyree Henry, is final.
Also, despite his attempts to patch things up with his co-star, it is reported that the producers decided to have him fired from the role of Manny Cespedes.
“Sinking Spring” focuses on Manny, who Moura will now play, and Ray, played by Brian. The two characters are lifelong friends from Philly turned criminals after they pretend to be DEA agents to rob an unidentified house in the country.
Unfortunately, their harmless scheme quickly turns into a life-and-death endeavor when they unintentionally uncover and expose “one of the biggest narcotics corridors on the east coast.”
Peter Craig, the writer of “Top Gun: Maverick,” will make his television debut with this series, serving as writer, executive producer, and director for one of its eight episodes.
Mando’s firing is not something his fans take very lightly, as they immediately expressed their disappointment on social media after knowing that he will no longer appear in the upcoming drama. See reactions below.
It is unclear what will happen to Mando now that he has been fired from “Sinking Spring.” After the occurrence, neither he nor his representative made any public statements. The same holds true with Apple TV+, which declined to comment on the case when requested.
Reactions to Michael Mando Fired From "Sinking Spring" After Fighting With A Co-Star
Michael Mando worked with the best production/writing team in television for several years without any issues. So I'm sure as hell sure whatever happened isn't his fault. #breakingbad #bettercallsaul

The fact that Michael Mando was already recasted when all these sketchy articles come out is really weird. No way the dude that spent 7 years with the same cast on BCS and talks like he’s narrating the most elegant novel in existence started an “altercation”.
