Hello, little oranges!
Remember Spacey who played President Frank in the American drama House of Cards?
Kevin Spacey was born in 1959 in South Orange, New Jersey.
His mother is a secretary, his father is a technical writer and data consultant, and he has an older brother and sister.
The older brother once said in an interview that he had been sexually assaulted and abused by his father when he was young, but the younger brother would "cleverly" choose to close himself off to avoid being beaten.
In middle school, he was sent to a military school by his parents. But as an adolescent rebellious, he was expelled for fighting.
He had to transfer to Chatsworth Senior High School, but it was here that he joined the school's theatre company and became famous for his role in the musical The Sound of Music.
It was also at this time that he began to use his grandmother's maiden name, also his middle name "Spacey", as his stage name.
After graduating, he attended Juilliard to study acting. He started wanting to be a comedian, but dropped out after only two years because he couldn't get an offer to act.
Later, he joined the New York Shakespeare Company. Here, he became the star of the troupe with his excellent acting skills, and also met his Bole Jack Lemmon.
With Jack's help, he got the opportunity to participate in "Sin Chicago" and thus entered Hollywood.
In 1995, he played Roger Ginter in the movie "Very Suspect" to make him shine, and even overshadowed the starring role, winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in one fell swoop.
In 1999, the role of the depressed and lonely Lester in "American Beauty" became a classic of film history under his exquisite interpretation, and he also became an Oscar winner, which was in the limelight for a while.
In 2013, he was selected by Netflix through big data to star in the political drama "House of Cards" series. This drama, which is popular all over the world, made him win the Golden Globe Award.
However, just as his career was booming, a sudden scandal completely shattered his dreams.
In 2017, actor Anthony Rapp accused Spacey of sexually harassing him when he was 14 years old.
He quickly responded that too much time had passed to remember the situation, and publicly came out to change the topic.
Later, a succession of staff members and actors who had worked with him came forward to say that they had been harassed by him.
As a result, he was forced to get off the bus from the final season of "House of Cards", and Netflix urgently cut him off.
The brokerage company subsequently terminated his contract. While he is entangled in lawsuits, he also faces huge compensation.
On Christmas Eve 2019, he posted a video under the name "President Kinoshita" "You can kill them mercifully." ”
The next Christmas, former Norwegian royalty Ari Behn, one of the voices accusing Spacey of sexual assault, committed suicide. Previously, two accusers had died in the same year.
Although netizens have a bit of a conspiracy theory, this inexplicable coincidence is still a little chilling down the spine.
After the pandemic, he spoke out for the first time on the "Virtual Founder's Breakfast" podcast, denying all allegations of sexual assault against him.
In 2021, after three years of silence, he was invited by Italian director Frank Nero to be a police officer in charge of investigating sexual assault in "The Man Who Painted God".
In November of the same year, he was ordered to compensate the production company MRC $31 million.
In May, he faced a new criminal charge, charged by British prosecutors with four counts of sexual assault against three men.
In June, BBC Channel 4 plans to produce a documentary called Spacey Revealed, which will focus on Kevin Spacey's personal life and the two upcoming trials.
In court, the former actor burst into tears.
"My father was a white supremacist and a neo-Nazi, and I never talked about these things publicly."
He said he was forced to make a statement because of pressure from the Me too movement.
"One thing I've learned is never to apologize for something you haven't done."
On October 20, a jury in federal court in New York ruled that the lawsuit was not established and that he should not be liable for any damages. After the sentencing was concluded, he quickly left the courtroom without answering any questions.
Last week, the Italian Film Museum announced that it had awarded him a lifetime achievement award. He plans to hold a master class at the pavilion on January 16 next year, which will also be his first lecture in five years.
For him himself, the protracted lawsuit has finally come to an end, but for the outside world, the controversy has not subsided.
