History Creator / KevinSpacey

In October 2017, actor Creator/AnthonyRapp accused Spacey of having made sexual advances toward him in 1986, when Rapp was 14 years old and Spacey was 26. Spacey responded on his Twitter feed that he had no memory of the encounter, but offered his "sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior." In the same tweet, Spacey publicly came out as gay, which caused outrage in the LGBTQ community, which accused Spacey of using a ComingOutStory as a distraction from the allegations (and also because [[AllGaysArePedophiles it feeds into an idea that they really don't want to be associated with]]). Shortly thereafter, [[Creator/RichardDreyfuss Harry Dreyfuss]] accused Spacey of assaulting him in 2008, and several others came forward with similar accusations. Outside the film industry, the Old Vic Theatre in London announced that ''twenty'' different people had accused him of sexual harassment/assault during his tenure as Artistic Director, with fourteen allegations relating to behaviour that would constitute criminal offenses.

As a result, Spacey quickly became a PersonaNonGrata in the entertainment industry.

Kevin Spacey Fowler (born July 26, 1959) is an American actor, director, producer, and screenwriter.

Though he claims to be a theater actor at heart and always puts the stage before the screen, he has starred in countless films, such as his role as sadistic boss Buddy Ackerman in ''Film/SwimmingWithSharks'', handicapped small-time criminal Verbal Kint in ''Film/TheUsualSuspects'' (winning the UsefulNotes/AcademyAward for Best Supporting Actor), midlife-crisis-sufferer Lester Burnham in ''Film/AmericanBeauty'' (winning the UsefulNotes/AcademyAward for Best Actor), a [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane mental patient who may well be an extraterrestrial]] in ''Film/KPax'', the ruthless supervillain ComicBook/LexLuthor in ''Film/SupermanReturns'' (in which he was reunited with ''Usual Suspects'' director Creator/BryanSinger), suave detective Jack Vincennes in ''Film/LAConfidential'', an MIT math professor turned Blackjack hustler in ''Film/TwentyOne'', and legendary American singer-songwriter Music/BobbyDarin in the biopic ''Beyond the Sea'', a film which he also directed, produced and co-wrote. From 2013 to 2017, he starred in the Netflix original series ''Series/{{House of Cards|US}}'' as the morally ambiguous congressman Francis Underwood (he was also one of the show's executive producers).
