LOS ANGELES: Comedian-actor Andy Dick has been fired from two films -- "Raising Buchanan" and "Vampire Dad" -- over sexual misconduct and harassment allegations.

Dick was dismissed from the set of "Raising Buchanan" on charges of harassing at least four members of the production. 

After hearing about it, "Vampire Dad" producer Kathryn Moseley also fired Dick as she witnessed the same things happening on her film's set, reports hollywoodreporter.com.

Dick was fired from the North Hollywood set of "Vampire Dad" on October 18. According to a letter from Moseley's legal team, Dick was escorted off set due to "multiple, flagrant acts of improper conduct and inappropriate contact with several crew members". 

Moseley said an investigation was on by a Beverly Hills law firm. 

On the set of "Raising Buchanan", Dick showed up one day late after missing his flight, made advances on several people and was admittedly "loopy" after taking too many Xanax.

In 2005, Andy Dick, who identifies as gay, was seen on the Comedy Central Roast of Pamela Anderson groping the model/actress, using her breasts as props, as it were, to assist his performance. Anderson looked uncomfortable with his violation of her personal space, even if some argued that the show may have been scripted. Andy Dick was criticised online with some viewers saying it was extremely inappropriate to grope a woman even if the man identified as gay, and his actions could not be condoned as comedy.
