Years ago I was told by a confidant of two-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey that his father, Thomas Geoffrey Fowler, had been a member of the American Nazi party.

"He had Nazi memorabilia everywhere, and was completely devoted to the party," said the source.

Spacey, the source said, had made this shocking revelation during his early years on Broadway when he appeared in "Lost in Yonkers."

It was fascinating because close-mouthed, secretive Spacey — whose premiere party for "American Beauty" was composed of dozens of angular young men in dark, expensive suits — never discussed his father or his personal life in interviews.

This explains a lot about Spacey's liberalism. However, I think the bigger secret is still in the closet for him.

However, I think the bigger secret is still in the closet for him.

Well, perhaps for him. Although he was just recently beaten up in a London Park known as an after-hours pickup spot for gay men.

I was just going to say, not all of his secrets are "out" yet.

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

Jeez, give a man a rimjob and he thinks it's a relationship

Sorry, Meatmen reference.

I can imagine some fool in Hollywood reading this and saying "Wow! This would make a great movie! Maybe we can get Spacey to play himself?"

[Bluntpoint]

Another Democrat that likes the other "Brown" meat.

[L.N. Smithee]

Jeez, you would think that between the two of you, you could have formattted this.

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

are you saying he likes his eggs sunny side up?

"Hey there Slenderella."

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Tesco Vee bump!

[Who dat?]

About the only memorable thing he’s done was The Usual Suspects or whatever it was called. I liked that one. But then it also had Benicio Del Toro, Gabriel Byrne, some Baldwin or other, Kevin Pollak…

I had formatted it, but then I auto-excerpted it and lost it.

he was just walking his dog at 4am. *wink wink*

Good movie.

This is Spacey's supposed story about his mugging:

Now he says he was embarassed by "a good con" and wants to put the record straight.

He said: "Some sob story about somebody needing to call their mother and could they use my phone.

"It was such a good con that I actually dialled the number myself and, when somebody answered, I then finally handed (over) my phone. And this kid took off and I was so upset I ran after him.

"I tripped up over my dog, and I ended up falling on to the street and hitting myself in the head.

"And now I'm bleeding relatively profusely, I'm extremely upset, I feel like the biggest fool that has ever lived. I march over to the police station and I say I got mugged.

"I woke up after a couple of hours' sleep and I thought you know there is a difference between assault and theft and it just wasn't on for me to not come clean about my own level of embarrassment and being humble at the fact that I got taken by the oldest con going."

He said he just wanted to apologise to the police and anyone who thought it was true.

Mr Spacey was asked what he was doing in the park at 4am. He said: "My doggy had to go!

I'm not defending Kevin Spacey. He's a good actor but way too liberal for me and he definitely has his "quirks". But, this is coming from his brother who is a Rod Stewart impersonator????? That must have been a tough choice. "What do I want to be when I grow up? Burger flipper or Rod Stewart impersonator. Burger flipper or Rod Stewart impersonator."

Whew. That's one messed up family.

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

being pragged out by your own dad is not a good thing.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Thanks for the update.

So that is Spacey's "third story" regarding the mugging?

[dfwgator]

He said: "My doggy had to go!

More like he was trying to give a dog a bone.
