Is Spacey a creep ? Sure. Is he a damn good actor ? Absolutely. We don’t watch most of these actors for their high moral standards (and a lot of the old-time actors were reprobates, too, but they had a studio system and cooperative press to cover for them). I re-watched Spacey the other day in “Glengarry Glen Ross.” Everybody in it was excellent and our favorite cretin Alec Baldwin delivered the best performance “Coffee is for closers !” of his career (and should’ve gotten an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor). I judge them on their work.
Yes, but, when they’re accused or convicted of a crime(s) that 100% effects how I view their performances.
For example, I can’t watch a “Naked Gun” movie and laugh at/with OJ anymore. Nope.
I see Spacey, I think “gay pedo rapist”. I can’t watch him portraying lady loving Jack Vincennes seriously anymore. Therefore, it does ruin the movie for me.
Winona Rider shoplifting a purse? Yeah, whatever. Idiot. Doesn’t effect me watching her (not that I do). But, kill/rape/other serious crime? Different story.
Yeah. Yeah. That SNL clip alone shows his chops.
He probably did a great job as J. Paul Getty, I wonder if footage will ever leak out. Maybe he and the dad from 7th Heaven can have a webseries together down the road.
And I wonder why they haven’t reshot Jeffrey Tambor’s scenes from that Stalin movie with Richard Riehle or somebody.
“...Is Spacey a creep ? Sure. Is he a damn good actor ? Absolutely...”
I can’t get past the fact that he’s a flaming pervert. So, no, he’s not a “good actor”. He’s a flaming pervert, is all, pretending NOT to be.
Never liked the guy. Even less now.
