Kevin Spacey alleged in a new interview with ZEITmagazin that people will start hiring him for more acting projects if he is cleared of sexual assault charges in London following an upcoming trial that is set to begin on June 28. The Oscar winner was charged one year ago in London with four counts of sexual assault, relating to alleged incidents that took place between 2005 and 2013.
“It’s a time in which a lot of people are very afraid that if they support me, they will be canceled,” Spacey said about his career. “But I know that there are people right now who are ready to hire me the moment I am cleared of these charges in London. The second that happens, they’re ready to move forward.”
Elliot Page Reveals a Famous Actor Told Him Being Gay ‘Doesn’t Exist’ and Threatened: ‘I’m Going to F— You to Make You Realize You Aren’t Gay’ Spacey said he currently “draws resilience” from positive fan encounters on the street, adding, “The media have done their best to turn me into a monster, but from the people, I have seen nothing but affection.”
Spacey was first accused of sexual assault in October 2017 by the actor Anthony Rapp. A New York jury sided with Spacey in a $40 million civil lawsuit last October, finding that he did not molest Rapp when the latter was a teenager and is not liable for battery. Other U.S. assault charges against Spacey made in Los Angeles and Nantucket were dropped after one alleged victim died and another opted not to testify.
“I’m still processing it,” Spacey said of the many accusations against him. “I’m not ready to talk about it yet.”
The actor later said, “Everything happens for a reason. And even if that reason doesn’t display itself instantly or things don’t get resolved instantly, it will eventually all make sense.”
Spacey is the midst of writing scripts and short films, but he said he will not write about his experience being accused of sexual assault.
“I’m not trying to even the score,” Spacey added. “I have no interest in fighting something that’s not worth fighting against.”
While Spacey has no high profile projects on the horizon, he did lend his voice to the upcoming thriller “Control.” The film’s director, Gene Fallaize, told the publication about casting Spacey: “He has a ridiculously supportive fan base. They want to see Kevin acting. Nobody stops listening to Michael Jackson.”
Spacey said a voice role in “Control” is not the kind of project he would’ve considered before allegations were made, but noted: “Now, I often feel like I’m back at the beginning of my career, when nobody wanted me…Just because I was being benched for a while, I’m not going to stop working. I don’t want to get rusty. I’m ready.”
He was pretty good in Seven...the only thing I’ve seen him in.
Embrace the suck.
You leftist started the witch trials. Now you’re surprised when it comes for you.
Also in Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil.
Really good in Margin Call.
I’ll have to check that one out. Don’t remember hearing of it.
Watch “Margin Call”. Good flick. The series “House of Cards” was very good for the most part. The role he played was very evil. DC politics in action.
Jeremy Irons should have won an Oscar for his performance in it. Actually the whole cast was really good.
There are uh....uncomfortable facts the media did not invent Kevin.. because you, like so many of the full on Left do not think the behaviour illegal. Paedo.
Also, Glengarry Glen Ross, when Jack Lemmon gives himself away.
It occurs to me that since this is Pride Month, all previous sexual sins and crimes ought to be forgiven and set aside.
For the sake of Equity, dontcha know.
Never heard of that one. I’ll have to track it down.
That is one of David Mamet’s classics. Star studded cast. Excellent portrayals. Memorable lines.
The Original BBC House of Cards was exponentially better, and the cheap thinking US version like skim milk.
This one:Francis Urquhart (Ian Richardson) vile amoral, and far better than spacey could ever come up. Watch both to see a great actor.

Meeting the Whip Stemple- a killer if there ever was one!
but “I couldn’t possibly comment”. The switchblade for Francis.

Call Kevin a Waaaambulance.
Pun intended?
Of course
+1 on “House of Cards”. Excellent. And, yes, evil.
I fully admit to enjoying “Horrible Bosses” partially, because Kevin Spacey played a character close to his personality.
