Kevin Spacey addressed the latest accusations against him tonight during a live TV appearance on NewsNation’s Cuomo.
In his first live appearance in years, Spacey told host Chris Cuomo he “wants to get back to work” and has “learned” from his experiences.
“I’m trying to show that I’ve listened. I’ve learned. I’ve got the memo,” Spacey said. “I feel very strongly that whatever mistakes I’ve made in my life, that I paid a price.”
A two-part documentary, “Spacey Unmasked,” recently aired in the U.K. and is now streaming on Max. It examines Spacey’s alleged sexual misconduct, including a claim that he allegedly groped another House of Cards actor on set.
Spacey denies the new allegations of inappropriate behavior from the men who were featured in the documentary.
Spacey told Cuomo the MeToo movement “swung far in the direction of unfairness.”

Kevin Spacey is facing another sexual assault trial in the UK next year, but today the two-time Oscar winner saw some major star power in his corner.
Liam Neeson, Sharon Stone and Stephen Fry have come forward with unequivocal support for Spacey as the much-accused actor has been back in the spotlight via new Channel 4 docuseries with even more allegations of severe misconduct.
“I was deeply saddened to learn of these accusations against him,” Taken franchise star Neesom told the Telegraph today. “Kevin is a good man and a man of character. He’s sensitive, articulate and non-judgmental, with a terrific sense of humour. He is also one of our finest artists in the theatre and on camera.
“Personally speaking, our industry needs him and misses him greatly,” Neeson, no total stranger to controversy himself, concluded.
Basic Instinct star Stone told the UK broadsheet: “I can’t wait to see Kevin back at work.

While Joe Biden and Donald Trump have kept their in-person campaigning to a minimum so far this election cycle, third-party candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has done everything he can do steal the spotlight, holding event after event with celebrity supporters. Now he can add another to the roster: actor Kevin Spacey.
Spacey, who faced more than a dozen accusations of sexual misconduct or assault since the #MeToo movement gripped the culture in 2017, appeared to indicate in a tweet on Monday that Kennedy had been there for him at his lowest.

In October 2017, Hollywood became the story. The New York Times’ blockbuster investigation of Harvey Weinstein shook the entertainment industry, unleashing a torrent of stories about harassment, abusive bosses, and exploitative power dynamics. The vast majority of victims who came forward were women, but just three weeks into what is now known as the #MeToo era, actor Anthony Rapp (Rent, Star Trek: Discovery) spoke out against Kevin Spacey, accusing the Oscar winner of drunkenly molesting him when he was 14 years old. Rapp said he wanted to “shine another light on the...

Less than 10 months after Kevin Spacey was found not guilty of sexual assault allegations brought by four men in a U.K. court, a new documentary series is due to air featuring previously unheard of testimonies about the actor’s alleged sexually inappropriate behavior.
The two-part “Spacey Unmasked,” which airs in the U.K. on May 6 and 7 on Channel 4 and will stream on Max in the U.S. having been acquired by ID, features interviews with 10 individuals — none of whom were connected to the trial — all describing their experiences with Spacey. The testimonies span five decades and involve alleged incidents that took place in Los Angeles, New York and London, in cinemas, at parties and on the set of “House of Cards.” Nine of those speaking in the docuseries haven’t shared their stories before.

Not that long ago, a dark thriller featuring Kevin Spacey as a smooth-talking stranger who arrives in a small town with an apparent vendetta against one of its inhabitants might have been a major movie event. He was, after all, a hugely popular and critically acclaimed actor, known for playing iconic villains from The Usual Suspects and Seven all the way up through House of Cards. His gift for intimate, Shakespearean malice could certainly boost a box-office haul.

Kevin Spacey, who used to be one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, found his name embroiled in several controversies. He has been repeatedly accused of s*xual misconduct by several men.
Even though he was cleared of almost all charges (via CNN), it led him to be fired from his critically acclaimed House of Cards series. Now the actor has hit the headlines once again after Lord of the Rings star Peter Mullan called him out for his extremely narcissistic behavior.
Kevin Spacey in House of Cards
Peter Mullan has played roles in several notable projects like Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows- Part 1, and Westworld. Mullan and Kevin Spacey starred together in 2000’s Ordinary Decent Criminal. The actor shared that it was one of his worst experiences as the Superman Returns actor’s narcissism went out of hand during the filming.

The trailer for Kevin Spacey’s new film, Peter Five Eight, has been released from Invincible Entertainment. The new trailer comes just a few weeks after Spacey released another of his annual Christmas video skits of him reprising his popular character from House of Cards, Frank Underwood. In his most recent entry, Spacey controversially brought in former Fox News host, Tucker Carlson, to interview him in character where he teased a race for the White House. And now, Spacey is back in his first leading role since controversy plagued his image and his career in 2017. In Peter Five Eight, Spacey seemingly adopts his Underwood-esque southern drawl again until it’s revealed that he’s an undercover contract killer.
Spacey is joined by Jet Jandreau, Rebecca De Mornay and Jake Webber. The film is directed by Michael Zaiko Hall, a former visual effects artist whose credits include The Incredibles 2,...

Kevin Spacey will pay $1 million to the production company behind House of Cards to settle an arbitration case stemming from sexual misconduct claims against the actor, Variety reports.
Spacey will pay the $1 million fee in installments to the production company, Media Rights Capital (MRC), over several years. It’s a significantly smaller sum than the $31 million the actor was originally ordered to pay in 2021 for breaching his contract after an arbitrator found claims that he’d sexually harassed young crew members on the show credible.

After years of Kevin Spacey battling House of Cards producer MRC over contract breaches arising from sexual misconduct allegations during his stint as the fictional politician and Potus on the Netflix series, the Oscar winner and the studio and it’s successor MRC II have come to a payoff agreement. Adding to the strange bedfellows of it all, Spacey and MRC II have also joined forces for the latter to take on some of the country’s biggest insurance companies in getting a payout of its own over the 2018 demise of HoC after six seasons and the actor’s sex scandals and legal woes that started in 2017.

Kevin Spacey plays a killer with no moral compass in the official trailer for Peter Five Eight, which marks his first leading role since his career imploded amid allegations of sexual misconduct in 2017.
Spacey’s assassin character, Peter, has a comedic streak as he’s called to a small mountain community to find a seemingly glamorous real estate agent with a dark secret, played by Jet Jandreau.
Peter targets Brenda, played by Rebecca de Mornay, for information at the urging of his powerful and shadowy boss, Mr. Lock, played by Jake Weber. Before long, guns are drawn and fired and car chases abound in the trailer as blood splatters and explosions disturb the sleepy town. Michael Zaiko Hall directs the feature.

Kevin Spacey, the two-time Oscar winner who has largely avoided the public eye since his career imploded in the early days of the #MeToo era, is making moves to venture back into the public space.
The actor has booked his first comic book convention appearance, set for Feb. 16-18 at Mad Monster, the con held in Concord, North Carolina. Organizers announced Wednesday that he will be among the guests signing autographs and posing for photos. He is also in business with the company Everest Autographs, which is arranging for autograph purchases for those not attending the event in person.
Spacey won Oscars for The Usual Suspects (1995), the cult crime drama that resonates with corners of the comic con crowd, and for American Beauty (1999). He played Lex Luthor in Superman Returns (2006) and helped power Netflix’s push into prestige programming with House of Cards. His few public-facing moves in recent years...

In a Christmas Eve interview with Tucker Carlson, former Hollywood star Kevin Spacey hinted at a potential presidential run in 2024, expressed disdain for bunnies at the White House and made allegations against his former employer, Netflix.
Spacey is known for his role as Frank Underwood in House of Cards before he was fired in 2017 due to numerous sexual harassment allegations. However, he has adopted a tradition where he reprises his character in odd Christmas interviews.
Carlson commenced the interview, “We know who the candidates are. It’s too late for another to get in. Some have already dropped out… Is there anyone in this country of 350 million people who could jump in at this late date and scramble the calculus of electoral politics? Well, there may be someone and in fact, you already know him. You know his face. And the question is, will he get in this cycle? And...

On Christmas Eve, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson released a “surprise” collaboration with disgraced actor Kevin Spacey. During the interview, Spacey, who earlier this year was acquitted on charges of sexual assault brought against him by several young men, embodied his House of Cards character Frank Underwood and delivered the annual holiday message he’s continued to produce despite having been out of the role since 2017.
At one point, Spacey turned to the camera and, in a callback to the fourth-wall-breaking style of his Netflix character, told the audience...

Kevin Spacey sat down with Tucker Carlson for his annual Christmas video, during which he takes on the role of Frank Underwood, his House of Cards character, who was killed off in the show’s sixth and final season.
Every year since 2018, when sexual assault allegations were lodged against him, Spacey has released a Christmas video where he takes on Frank’s southern accent and pretends to be him while discussing topics of the time. This year, Carlson joined him, and the two discussed Netflix and the looming 2024 presidential election.
The former Fox News host asked the actor if he realized that every time a person opens the streaming app, Spacey is there in the intro sound, noting that the “boom boom” is from House of Cards.
“So, it is bizarre they decided to publicly cut ties with me on allegations alone, allegations that have now been proven false,” Spacey said as Frank.

Like mistletoe and candy canes, Kevin Spacey has arrived with his annual Christmas message in the character of Frank Underwood, the character he played on the Netflix drama House of Cards.
This time, Tucker Carlson is playing along, doing a semi-serious interview at first, then breaking the wall and asking Spacey/Underwood about his future plans as a performer.
The interview’s premise is that Frank Underwood might enter the race for president, saying that the country is “mired in so much contradiction and confusion.”
“What doesn’t come with a trigger warning these days. We are far too close to having a bean bag chair in the Oval Office,” Spacey says. He added that his White House wouldn’t have someone with bunny ears roaming the halls.
How did we get to this point? “Fear,” says Spacey/Underwood.

“Every time a person pulls up the Netflix app. You’re there in some way, have you seen this?” Carlson asked, playing the Netflix “tudum” intro sound.
“Yes, you know what that is?” Spacey said, then pounded his fist on the table like Underwood does in “House of Cards.” “Boom, boom. So it is bizarre they decided to publicly cut ties with me on allegations alone, allegations that have now been proven false. Because I don’t think there’s any question. Netflix exists because of me.

Kevin Spacey has addressed the press corps following Wednesday’s not guilty verdict in his London sexual assault trial and after two days of deliberations — his first time speaking out since legal proceedings began on June 28.
Earlier Wednesday, the Oscar-winning “American Beauty” actor was cleared of all nine charges of sexual assault, indecent assault, and causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity after the jury heard from four men who made complaints against him.
As broadcast by BBC World News, Spacey told reporters, “I imagine that many of you can understand that there’s a lot for me to process after what just happened today. I would like to say that I’m enormously grateful to the jury for having taken the time to examine all of the evidence and all of the facts carefully before they reached their decision, and I am humbled by the outcome today.

The verdict in Kevin Spacey’s London sexual assault trial is here. The actor has been found not guilty and cleared of all nine charges against him.
The verdict was rendered after over 48 hours of deliberation. BBC News reports that the actor appeared emotional upon being acquitted.
Spacey faced sexual and indecent assault charges from four men over incidents alleged to have occurred between 2004 and 2013 when the actor was the director of London’s famed Old Vic Theatre.
When the Crown Prosecution Service brought charges against Spacey in 2022 it raised the specter of whether the actor would be willing to travel to London to face them. If he had been unwilling, an extradition would have had to be arranged. Instead, Spacey voluntarily journeyed to London to be formally charged and has appeared every day at the Southwark Crown Court on London’s South Bank as the trial unfolded.

A UK jury has cleared Kevin Spacey of all of the sexual assault charges against him.
The actor stood accused of sexually assaulting a total of four men in London and Gloucestershire between 2001 and 2013; for most of that time, Spacey served as the artistic director of London’s Old Vic theater. Breaking down those charges, Britain’s Crown Prosecution Service back in June 2022 charged Spacey with four counts of sexual assault against three men, plus a charge of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without their consent.

The racism in Carl Franklin’s One False Move suggests a festering pool of standing water just waiting to be disturbed. Dale Dixon (Bill Paxton), the police chief of Star City, Arkansas, casually utters the n-word while having a peaceful meal with his colleagues, one of whom is Black. Lila Walker (Cynda Williams), the mixed-race outlaw trying to avoid capture in order to see her son again, understands American inequality all too well: “Looking guilty is being guilty, for Black people,” she tells her brother. Having recently shot a white Texas state trooper in the head at point blank range, the irony of her statement is hard to miss. But that doesn’t mean she’s wrong.

Two-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey walked into a London courtroom Wednesday to face trial on charges of sexually assaulting four men as long as two decades ago.
The actor was dressed in a dark blue suit, light blue shirt and pink tie as he was called by his full name and asked if he was Kevin Spacey Fowler.
“I am,” he said as he stood behind a window in the dock.
Spacey, 63, has pleaded not guilty to a dozen charges including sexual assault, indecent assault and causing a person to engage in sex activity without consent. He could face a prison sentence if convicted.
Spacey nodded and smiled at potential jurors as Justice Mark Wall told them that they may know Spacey by name or have seen his films.

If you’re behind on your peak TV watching, consider this your spoiler warning. It’s been nearly a year since Julia Garner collected her third and final Emmy for “Ozark,” which made her the seventh comedy or drama series regular to snag a TV academy prize for a season in which her character died. Nominations of this kind have become more common in recent years, and it’s possible that over 15% of the 2023 lead and supporting continuing series contenders will fit into the group.
Gold Derby’s Emmy nominations odds currently indicate that eight actors whose comedic or dramatic characters met their demise within the last year could feasibly earn bids, as all of them are ranked no lower than 12th place in their respective races. This does not include characters like Bunny Folger or John Paul Williams who died prior to the starts of their shows’ latest seasons but still appear in flashbacks.

Netflix launched its ad tier Thursday, and several popular series are missing from the streamer’s library due to licensing restrictions, including originals House of Cards and Arrested Development.

Netflix’s televised revolution began in earnest in February 2013, when the machiavellian political schemer Frank Underwood looked straight into the camera and casually snapped a dog’s neck. It was the first episode of House of Cards – a 100m TV series that would only be available on the Internet.
The show represented a huge risk for the streaming service as it sought to make the leap from tech start-up to entertainment industry goliath.
Nine years on and the gamble has paid off. Netflix was a major winner at the Emmys, its haul of 23 awards attesting to its power-player status. And while House of Cards quickly descended into potboiler nonsense (with leading star Kevin Spacey being fired from the series after sexual assault allegations), Netflix has rumbled on. Here are 65 of its most essential shows.

"Game Of Thrones" is something of an anomaly. The cultural phenomenon had four seasons of the highest quality fantasy television, until a final season so rushed, so generic, and so poorly made, many theorized the show would disappear from cultural discourse. However, the release of the prequel series "The House Of The Dragon" brought renewed interest to the world of Westeros, leading to the original series becoming one of HBO Max's most in-demand shows.
It's tricky to rank episodes of "Game Of Thrones," as it's hard to separate great episodes from great moments. One incredible scene doesn't necessarily make it a brilliant episode in its own right. A misjudged moment can taint an entire episode. Likewise, one standout sequence can make an otherwise pedestrian episode an all-time classic.
Despite this, it remains one of the most controversial, divisive, and frequently brilliant television series ever made. Below are the 27 best...

Although "Game of Thrones" fans may have been disappointed by the way that the series concluded, excitement about the future of Westeros is still at its peak. HBO's prequel series "House of the Dragon" debuted to positive reviews and record-breaking viewership numbers, with HBO having already ordered a second season. Set approximately two centuries before the events of "Game of Thrones," "House of the Dragon" explores the interior battle that threatened to split House Targaryen apart. King Viserys I (Paddy Considine) has to deal with an unthinkable tragedy: his wife, Queen Aemma Arryn (Sian Brooke), dies in childbirth.
Tradition dictates for Viserys to name his brother, Daemon (Matt Smith), as his heir. However, Daemon's erratic behavior draws concern about his role as a leader. In a maverick move, Viserys decides to name his daughter, Rhaenyra (Milly Alcock), as his successor. She would be the first woman to ever sit on the Iron Throne.

Mena Suvari is opening up about her experience making the 1999 Best Picture-winning film “American Beauty.” The actress spoke to People about how she remembers an “unusual experience” with Kevin Spacey in the lead-up to shooting an intimate scene on the film, in which Suvari stars as a high school cheerleader being lusted after by Spacey’s character. (Spacey won a Best Actor Academy Award for his performance.)
Suvari said she “trusted” Spacey on the set of the movie, but that one experience did leave her with a strange feeling. She says to prepare for a scene one day, Spacey brought her into a side room. There, they laid “on the bed very close to one another,” Suvari told People. “He was sort of gently holding me. It was very peaceful but weird and unusual.”
Suvari also said that when sexual abuse claims began to surface against the actor in 2017, “I thought of that day.

Kevin Spacey and the estate of an anonymous massage therapist who accused him of sexual assault have filed court papers to dismiss the accuser’s lawsuit against the actor.
The massage therapist, identified in court papers as John Doe, died on Sept. 6. The lawsuit was filed last year, accusing Spacey of forcing to grab his genitals, pulled him in for a forced kiss and refused to allow him to leave the Malibu massage session.
In a filing in federal court in Los Angeles, Sky Alves, the special administrator for John Doe’s estate, and Spacey agreed to the dismissal with prejudice, which means that the case cannot be refiled. (Read it here).
No terms were given to the dismissal, but both sides will bear their own attorneys costs.

Is this really the best image for Kevin Spacey right now? After all he just got off the hook from a sexual assault case and he’s talking about ‘killing them with kindness’? Even if he has no intention of admitting that it’s about anything to do with the case, this is kind of creepy and yes, ill-advised. The fact that he’s performing this short piece as Frank Underwood from House of Cards is even more confusing since it’s already been seen that the former president from that show passed on and his wife took over the duties of the president

For a second year in a row, Kevin Spacey posted a video on his YouTube page on Christmas Eve his House of Cards character Frank Underwood.
The latest, titled “Ktwk,” shows Spacey as Underwood in a holiday sweater sitting by a fireplace stoking the flames. “You didn’t really think I was gonna miss the opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas, did you?” he says as he turns to the camera, in Underwood’s Southern drawl.
“It’s been a pretty good year, and I’m grateful to have my health back,” he goes on. “And in light of that, I’ve made some changes in my life and I’d like to invite you to join me. As we walk into 2020, I want to cast my vote for more good in this world. Ah yes, I know what you’re thinking. Can he be serious? I’m dead serious.

Kevin Spacey baffled the industry one year ago when he marked the Christmas holiday by posting a video of himself in character as Frank Underwood from “House of Cards.” One year later, Spacey is back at it again. The disgraced actor has posted a 2019 holiday video to his YouTube page in which he appears as his “House of Cards” character and champions kindness. Spacey has been accused of sexual harassment and assault by several men since 2017, including “Star Trek” actor Anthony Rapp. Both the 2018 and 2019 holiday videos mark rare public appearances for the actor.
“You didn’t really think I was going to miss the opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas, did you?” Spacey asks as Frank Underwood, who was killed off “House of Cards” in the show’s final season. “It’s been a pretty good year, and I’m grateful to have my health back. And in light of that,...

Kevin Spacey shared a bizarre, minute-long video on Christmas Eve, in which he again channels his “House of Cards” character Frank Underwood.
“You didn’t really think I was going to miss the opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas, did you?” asked Spacey as Underwood, who was killed off “House of Cards” in the show’s final season.
Spacey posted a similar video last year, vaguely addressing the sexual assault allegations that derailed his career. He was accused in 2017 of sexual assault by more than a dozen people. In October, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office dropped a sexual assault case after the accuser died. He got another legal break in July when prosecutors disagreed on a different sexual assault case, citing “unavailability” of the complaining witness, an 18-year-old busboy in Nantucket, Mass.
