in 2015.

Spacey began his film career with small roles in Mike Nichols's comedy-drama films Heartburn (1986) and Working Girl (1988). He won two Academy Awards: Best Supporting Actor for playing a con man in The Usual Suspects (1995) and Best Actor for playing a suburban husband and father going through a midlife crisis in American Beauty (1999). His other films include Glengarry Glen Ross (1992), Se7en (1995), A Time to Kill (1996), L.A. Confidential (1997), Pay It Forward (2000), Superman Returns (2006), 21 (2008), Margin Call (2011), Horrible Bosses (2011), and Baby Driver (2017). He has also directed the films Albino Alligator (1996) and Beyond the Sea (2004).

In Broadway theatre, Spacey starred in a revival of

Old Vic theatre in London from 2004 to 2015, for which he received the Society of London Theatre Special Award. In 2017, he hosted the 71st Tony Awards
.

In television, Spacey portrayed Ron Klain in Recount (2008) and produced Bernard and Doris (2008), both for HBO Films. From 2013 to 2017, he starred as Frank Underwood in the Netflix political drama series House of Cards, which won him a Golden Globe Award and two consecutive Screen Actors Guild Awards for Best Actor.[1] Both Spacey and the show itself were nominated for five consecutive Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series and Outstanding Drama Series, respectively.

In 2017, Spacey faced several allegations of sexual misconduct. In the wake of these claims, Netflix cut ties with Spacey, shelving his biopic of Gore Vidal and removing him from the last season of House of Cards. His completed role as J. Paul Getty in Ridley Scott's film All the Money in the World (2017) was reshot with Christopher Plummer.[2][3] Spacey has denied the accusations and was found not liable in a 2022 lawsuit in New York. In a separate case in London, he was acquitted by a jury of sexual assault charges in 2023.[4][5]

Spacey attended Northridge Military Academy,

Captain Georg von Trapp, with Winningham as Maria von Trapp. He started using his middle name "Spacey", which was his paternal grandmother's maiden name.[7][19]

Spacey had tried to succeed as a comedian for several years before attending the Juilliard School in New York City, as a member of Group 12, where he studied drama with teacher Marian Seldes[20] between 1979 and 1981. During this time period, he performed comedy in bowling alley talent contests.[21]

Career

Theatre

1981–1986: Career beginnings in theatre

Spacey's first professional stage appearance was as a

dinner theatre.[25]

1986–1991: Broadway success and Tony win

Spacey's prominence as a stage actor began in 1986, when he was cast opposite Jack Lemmon, Peter Gallagher, and Bethel Leslie, as Jamie, the eldest Tyrone son, in Jonathan Miller's lauded production of Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night. Lemmon in particular would become a mentor to Spacey[26] and was invited, along with Spacey's high school drama teacher, to be present when Spacey received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1999.[27]

Spacey remained actively involved in the live theatre community. In 1991, he won a

Tony Award for his portrayal of Uncle Louie in Neil Simon's Broadway hit Lost in Yonkers. His father was unconvinced that Spacey could make a career for himself as an actor and did not change his mind until Spacey became well known.[21] In 1999, Spacey won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor and earned another Tony Award nomination in 1999 for The Iceman Cometh.[28]

2003–2015: Artistic director of the Old Vic

The Old Vic theatre in Waterloo, London

In February 2003, Spacey announced that he was to become the artistic director of the

Maria Goos, directed by Spacey, which opened to mixed reviews.[31] In the 2005 season, Spacey made his UK Shakespearean debut, to good notices, in the title role of Richard II, directed by Trevor Nunn.[31]

On June 16, 2016, Spacey was awarded an

In mid-2006, Spacey said that he was having the time of his life working at the Old Vic; at that point in his career, he said, he was "trying to do things now that are much bigger and outside [myself]".[36] Spacey performed in productions of National Anthems by Dennis McIntyre, and The Philadelphia Story by Philip Barry, in which he played C.K. Dexter Haven, the Cary Grant role in the film version. Critics applauded Spacey for taking on the management of a theatre, but noted that while his acting was impressive, his skills and judgment as a producer/manager had yet to develop.[37] In the 2006 season, Spacey suffered a major setback with a production of Arthur Miller's Resurrection Blues, directed by Robert Altman.[38] Despite an all-star cast (including Matthew Modine and future House of Cards co-star Neve Campbell) and the pedigree of Miller's script, Spacey's decision to lure Altman to the stage proved disastrous: after a fraught rehearsal period, the play opened to a critical panning, and closed after only a few weeks.[36] Later in the year, Spacey starred in Eugene O'Neill's A Moon for the Misbegotten, along with Colm Meaney and Eve Best. The play received excellent reviews for Spacey and Best, and was transferred to Broadway in 2007. For the spring part of the 2007–08 season, Jeff Goldblum and Laura Michelle Kelly joined Spacey as the three characters in David Mamet's 1988 play Speed-the-Plow.[39]

In 2009, he directed the premiere of Joe Sutton's Complicit, with Richard Dreyfuss, David Suchet and Elizabeth McGovern.[37] Later that year, Trevor Nunn directed Spacey in a revival of Inherit the Wind. Spacey played defense lawyer Henry Drummond, a role that was made famous by Spencer Tracy in the 1960 film of the same name.[37] Sam Mendes directed Spacey in Shakespeare's Richard III; Spacey played the title role. The show began in June 2011, commencing a worldwide tour culminating in New York in early 2012.[40] In March 2014, it was announced that Spacey would star in a one-man play at the Old Vic to celebrate his ten years as artistic director. He took on the part of Clarence Darrow in the play.[41]

The following year he voiced the intimidating grasshopper, Hopper in the animated Pixar film A Bug's Life (1998).[25] Throughout his career, Spacey has been well known for playing villains; he remarked in 2013: "I think people just like me evil for some reason.

We don't condone sexual harassment on any level and we fully support victims of it. At the same time, this is neither an easy nor insensitive decision to release this film in theatres, but we believe in giving the cast, as well as hundreds of crew members who worked hard on the film, the chance to see their final product reach audiences.[77]

Following the allegations leveled against him, Spacey maintained a lower profile and his career stalled.[78][79] In May 2021, it was announced that he had been cast in a supporting role as a police detective in the crime drama film The Man Who Drew God, directed by and starring Franco Nero, which is about a blind artist who is wrongly accused of sexually abusing a child.[80][81] The film reunited Spacey with Faye Dunaway, whom he directed in Albino Alligator.

On November 3, 2022, Variety reported that Spacey was set to speak at the National Museum of Cinema and was going to receive a lifetime achievement award on January 16, 2023, despite the allegations against him.[85] On November 28, 2022, after winning a sexual battery lawsuit against him filed by Anthony Rapp, Spacey was cast in the British indie thriller Control. Its director, Gene Fallaize, dismissed concerns about working with Spacey.[86]

Acting credits and accolades

Spacey's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, laid in 1999

Spacey has won two

Primetime Emmy Awards. Spacey received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1999 and was named an honorary Commander and Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2010 and 2015, respectively.[97][98][99]

Personal life

Spacey briefly dated American actress April Winchell after she graduated high school in the early 1980s.[100][101]

An article in The Sunday Times Magazine in 1999 stated that Spacey's "love affair with acting, and the absence of a visible partner in the life of an attractive 40-year-old, has resulted in Esquire magazine asserting two years ago that he must be gay".[102] Spacey responded to the rumors by telling Playboy and other interviewers that he was not gay[103] and by telling Lesley White of The Sunday Times:

I chose for a long time not to answer these questions because of the manner in which they were asked, and because I was never talking to someone I trusted, so why should I? Recently I chose to participate because it's a little hard on the people I love.[102]

In 1999, reports suggested Spacey was dating a script supervisor named Dianne Dreyer, with their relationship possibly dating back as far as 1992.[104][105][106] In 2000, Spacey brought Dreyer to the Academy Awards;[104] during the acceptance speech for his Best Actor award, Spacey said, "Dianne, thank you for teaching me about caring about the right things, and I love you."[107]

In 2007, Gotham magazine quoted Spacey saying:

I've never believed in pimping my personal life out for publicity. Although I might be interested in doing it, I will never do it. People can gossip all they want; they can speculate all they want. I just happen to believe that there's a separation between the public life and the private life. Everybody has the right to a private life no matter what their professions are.[102]

Political views and activism

Spacey speaking during the 2010 Clinton Global Citizen Awards

Spacey is a Democrat and has been described as left-leaning, with his personal views mirroring some of those professed by his fictional character in House of Cards.[108][109]

Spacey worked on Jimmy Carter's 1976 presidential campaign.[110]

He is a friend of President

White House Correspondents Dinner.[111]

Spacey has undertaken activism in the domain of HIV/AIDS. In 2002, Spacey, actor Chris Tucker, and Jeffrey Epstein accompanied Bill Clinton on a trip throughout several African countries to promote AIDS awareness on the continent.[112][113] He also participated in several fundraisers for HIV/AIDS healthcare, including amfAR Cinema Against AIDS in 2016[114] and the 25th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Award Party in 2017.[115]

Spacey met Venezuelan president

Belarusian democracy movement, Spacey joined Jude Law in a street protest in London against Lukashenko's regime.[117]

In October 2008, Spacey started the Kevin Spacey Foundation in the UK to encourage youth involvement in the arts.[118] Headquartered in England and Wales, its purpose was to provide grants to individuals and organizations to help young people study the arts, particularly theatre.[119] The charity shut down in February 2018 following sexual misconduct allegations against Spacey.[120]

In September 2006, Spacey said that he intended to take up

2016 European Union membership referendum, Spacey replied, "I appreciate you asking me the question, but I am not a British citizen, I am a resident of Great Britain. And I have never in my twelve years ever gotten involved in politics in Great Britain. I think it's inappropriate for me as a, really as a guest, in Great Britain, so I'll leave that to the British people."[122]

Sexual misconduct allegations

On October 29, 2017, actor

sexual battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress under the Child Victims Act.[128] In the subsequent federal civil court proceeding, a jury found that Spacey did not molest Rapp and was found not liable on all counts, with Rapp subsequently ordered by the court to pay Spacey $39,089 in damages.[129][130]

Fifteen others then came forward alleging similar abuse,[131] including Boston anchorwoman Heather Unruh, who alleged that Spacey sexually assaulted her son;[132][133] filmmaker Tony Montana; actor Roberto Cavazos;[134] Richard Dreyfuss' son Harry;[135] and eight people who worked on House of Cards.[136] The Guardian was contacted by "a number of people" who alleged that Spacey "groped and behaved in an inappropriate way with young men" as artistic director of The Old Vic theatre.[137][138][139]

Coming out controversy

On the same day as Rapp's allegations against him, Spacey

came out as gay when apologizing to Rapp. He said, "I have had relationships with both men and women. I have loved and had romantic encounters with men throughout my life, and I choose now to live as a gay man."[140][141] His decision to come out via his statement was criticized by gay celebrities, including Billy Eichner, George Takei, Lance Bass, and Wanda Sykes, as an attempt to change the subject and shift focus from Rapp's accusation, for using his own drunkenness as an excuse for making a sexual advance on a minor, and for implying a connection between homosexuality and child sexual abuse.[142][143][144]

Some readers additionally felt that by claiming that he was "horrified" by Rapp's story, Spacey was attempting to paint himself as the victim of the alleged abuse.[145] In October 2022, Spacey expressed regret over the way he came out and said that it was "never [his] intention" to deflect from the allegations against him or conflate them with his sexual orientation.[146][147]

Reaction and ramifications

Amid the allegations, filming was suspended on the sixth and final season of House of Cards. The show's production company had implemented "an anonymous complaint hotline, crisis counselors, and sexual harassment legal advisors for the crew", and stated that in 2012, "someone on the crew shared a complaint about a specific remark and gesture made by Kevin Spacey. Immediate action was taken following our review of the situation and we are confident the issue was resolved promptly to the satisfaction of all involved."[148] According to the production company, Spacey "willingly participated in a training process and since that time MRC has not been made aware of any other complaints" involving him.[149] The show had been due to end in 2018.[132] The season was shortened from 13 episodes to eight, and Spacey was removed from the cast and from his role as executive producer.[150]

The Gore Vidal biographical film Gore, starring Spacey, which was set to be distributed by Netflix, was canceled,[151][152] and Netflix went on to sever all ties with him.[153] He was due to appear in All the Money in the World as industrialist J. Paul Getty; his scenes were cut, and Christopher Plummer replaced him as Getty in reshoots.[69] In an interview with Variety, Plummer said: "It's really not replacing [Spacey]. It's starting all over again." Plummer added: "I think it's very sad what happened to him... Kevin is such a talented and a terrifically gifted actor, and it's so sad. It's such a shame. That's all I can say, because that's it."[154]

The International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences reversed its decision to honor Spacey with the 2017 International Emmy Founders Award.[155] On November 2, 2017, Variety reported that his publicist Staci Wolfe and talent agency Creative Artists Agency were ending their relationships with him.[149][156]

From 2018 to 2020, and again in 2023, Spacey posted an annual video to his YouTube channel on Christmas Eve.[157]

On December 24, 2018, Spacey uploaded a video titled "Let Me Be Frank", in which he – while in character as Frank Underwood – appeared to deny the real-life allegations leveled against him. The video was described by

Slate writer Daniel Politi as "bizarre" and "stomach-churning",[158] while drawing derision from actresses such as Ellen Barkin, Patricia Arquette, and Alyssa Milano, who called it "creepy".[159] As of December 2022, the video has over 13 million views.[160][161]

On December 24, 2019, Spacey posted another video, titled "KTWK" (short for "kill them with kindness"), to his YouTube channel, once again in character as Underwood.

The New York Post with respect to the allegations against him.[163]

On December 24, 2023, Spacey posted a video where he stayed in character as Underwood, conversing with right-wing political commentator Tucker Carlson. The two discussed Netflix and the upcoming 2024 presidential election.[164]

Legal issues

The Los Angeles District Attorney's office stated, in April 2018, that it would investigate an allegation that Spacey had sexually assaulted an adult male in 1992.

masseur in October 2016 at a house in Malibu, California.[168]

In December 2018, Spacey was charged with a felony for allegedly sexually assaulting journalist Heather Unruh's 18-year-old son in Nantucket, Massachusetts, in July 2016.[169] Spacey pleaded not guilty to the charge on January 7, 2019.[170][171] Unruh's son told police that he was texting with his girlfriend throughout the alleged "groping" incident. Spacey's defense attorneys spent months trying to obtain copies of the texts and the phone itself. In mid-May 2019, Unruh's son's personal attorney informed the court that the phone in question was "missing".[172] On June 4, 2019, the defense learned that, when Unruh gave the police her son's phone in 2017, she admitted that she had deleted some of the text messages.[172] Later that month, her son filed a lawsuit against Spacey, claiming emotional damages. Shortly later, on July 5, 2019, they withdrew the lawsuit.[173]

On July 17, 2019, the criminal assault charge against Spacey was dropped by the Cape and Islands prosecutors.[174] When the anonymous massage therapist who accused him died, the last remaining criminal case against Spacey was closed.[175]

On September 9, 2020, Anthony Rapp accused Spacey in a complaint about actions that allegedly happened in 1986 (sexual assault and sexual battery) and intentional infliction of emotional distress under the Child Victims Act, which extended New York's statute of limitations for suits related to child sexual abuse.[128] Joining Rapp in the suit against Spacey was a man who requested to remain anonymous who accused Spacey of sexually abusing him in 1983, when he was 14 and Spacey was 24.[176][177] On June 17, 2021, the anonymous accuser was dismissed from the case due to his refusal to publicly identify himself.[178] As Rapp's trial lawsuit against Spacey commenced in October 2022, it was revealed Rapp had given an inaccurate description of the apartment where he alleged the abuse took place.[179][180] On October 17, the judge dismissed the emotional-distress charges as a "duplicate" of the battery charges.[13] On October 20, a jury found Spacey not liable of all charges, with the court further ordering Rapp to pay Spacey $39,089 in damages.[181][182][183]

In 2020, Spacey and his production companies M. Profitt Productions and Trigger Street Productions were ordered to pay $31 million to MRC, the studio that produced House of Cards, for violating its sexual harassment policy.[184] Spacey appealed to have the arbitration award overturned, but the request was denied on August 4, 2022.[185]

On May 26, 2022, Spacey was charged by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in the United Kingdom with four counts of sexual assault against three complainants. The alleged offenses occurred between 2005 and 2013 in London and Gloucestershire.[186][187] According to the Crown Prosecution Service, it would be possible to formally charge Spacey only if he entered England or Wales either voluntarily or through an extradition request.[188] Nevertheless, in a statement to Good Morning America on May 31, 2022, Spacey said he would "voluntarily appear in the U.K. as soon as can be arranged".[189]

In his first British court appearance, on June 16, Spacey denied the allegations against him.[190] On July 14, he pleaded not guilty to the charges in London.[191][192] On November 16, the CPS authorized an additional seven charges against Spacey, all related to a single complainant arising from incidents alleged to have occurred between 2001 and 2004.[193][194] Three charges were dismissed before or during the trial, which began on June 28, 2023, and, on July 26, 2023, a jury found Spacey not guilty of the remaining nine charges.[4][5]
