He is a one heck of a good actor...
Spacey is a one trick pony whose typecast is that of a psychopath. He always plays the same boring, sniveling and predictable character. He was a total assclown when he tried to assume Gene Hackman’s role as Lex Luthor, and I was glad to see him get caught and beaten in 21.
He’s a tool both on-screen and off.
