Kevin Spacey, who has won two Academy Awards for the movie "Very Suspect" and "American Beauty", once had unlimited scenery, the British authoritative film magazine "Empire" ignored many other outstanding actors and awarded him the title of "Best Actor in 10 Years", and In the list of "Best Actors After the 90s" selected by Time Magazine, Kevin Spacey also pushed Tom Hanks to second.
Kevin Spacey is also very successful in the field of American drama, and the American police drama "SWAT 4587" starring him has almost become the first American drama series for the post-80s and 90s, which is still impressive.
And his highlight moment in the field of American drama is the high-scoring drama "House of Cards" produced by Netflix, starting from starring in "House of Cards", Kevin Spacey became a regular emmy award, and was nominated for best actor once.
But he did not expect that this TV series that brought him special honors would also give him the greatest harm. Recently, Kevin Spacey was judged by the US judicial arbitration and mediation agency JAMS that it will pay nearly $31 million to Netflix, the production company of "House of Cards", and the trigger for this sky-high compensation is that Kevin Spacey is suspected of behind-the-scenes sexual misconduct and violates the crew's safety contract.
Since 2017, when actor Anthony Rapp publicly claimed to have been sexually harassed twice by Kevin Spacey at the age of 14 and 26, unfavorable rumors about him have continued to emerge, and more than 15 men have said they are also victims, including a production assistant in the series "House of Cards".
The news caused an uproar, and Kevin Spacey had to apologize publicly and disappeared, unable to reach his friends and relatives. The global film and television industry's zero-tolerance attitude toward bad artists has made almost all the films and television starring Kevin Spacey try to draw a clear line with him.
The movie "Money World" did not hesitate to cut all the shots of Kevin Spacey and found the old drama bone Plummer to remake the scene to save the box office, and Kevin Spacey never apologized to the crew after evaporating, and director Ridley publicly bombarded him.
The movie "Billions of Teenagers Club" did not delete Kevin Spacey's role for cost considerations, which directly led to a lose-lose between word of mouth and box office after the release, and also triggered a group ridicule from fans.
"House of Cards" suffered the most, the critically acclaimed flagship script to bring Netflix a lot of money, but Kevin Spacey's scandal came too suddenly, catching Netflix off guard and having to change the main character and rush to the end of the fifth season.
Although the sixth season of "House of Cards" resumed filming in 2018, the "House of Cards" that was about to change has never recovered the glory of previous seasons, and the regular volume of 13 episodes in previous seasons has had to be shortened to 8 episodes perfunctory, becoming a rare high-scoring bad ending episode of Netflix.
This innocent disaster will naturally make Netflix angry, and the allegations of production assistants in the previous article have become a great reason for Netflix to retaliate against Kevin Spacey, using the anti-harassment policy provisions on the set and pursuing Kevin Spacey for not fulfilling the contract for the fifth season of "House of Cards", Netflix demanded that Kevin Spacey compensate for his contract losses and production assistant losses of nearly $31 million.
In a statement before the trial, Netflix said that for them, the safety of their employees and working environment is of paramount importance, which is why they insist on arbitration.
Kevin Spacey himself reportedly tried to appeal the nearly $31 million ruling, but it was quickly dismissed, and it appears that he will continue to pay for his mistakes, and the Netflix arbitration case may become a template for other film production companies to emulate, and Kevin Spacey will not be able to sleep even after leaving Hollywood.
