Netflix decided to dismiss the actor from "Desperados" after the makers were informed about an off-set incident. The incident was immediately investigated leading to Mitchell's termination from the project, in which he was to star opposite Nasim Pedrad, Anna Camp and Robbie Amell.

Looking at the seriousness of the allegations, Fox 21 TV Studios, opted not to sign Mitchell for the third season of "The Chi".

 

Mitchell has been in high-demand since his breakout role in the 2015 film "Straight Outta Compton", in which he played NWA member Eazy-E.
