Kevin Spacey is pushing back against the swift judgments made about him and is gaining support from notable industry figures as he seeks torevive his acting career.

In a recent feature, Sharon Stone and Liam Neeson voiced their support for Spacey. “I can’t wait to see Kevin back at work,” Stone expressed. “He is a genius. He is so elegant and fun, generous to a fault, and knows more about our craft than most of us ever will.”

Neeson echoed her sentiments, describing Spacey as “a good man and a man of character. He’s sensitive, articulate, and non-judgmental, with a terrific sense of humor. He is also one of our finest artists in the theatre and on camera. Personally speaking, our industry needs him and
misses him greatly.”

Spacey’s career came to an abrupt halt in 2017 after actor Anthony Rapp accused him of making a sexual advance in 1986 when Rapp was 14 and
Spacey was 26. Following these allegations and subsequent ones, Netflix severed ties with Spacey, removing him from “House of Cards”and reshooting his scenes in “All the Money in the World” with Christopher Plummer.

“My life was finished in four days,” Spacey told The Telegraph. This interview follows the release of “Kevin Spacey Unmasked,” a two-part
docuseries by the UK’s Channel 4 that delves into his career and the allegations against him. The series is available on Max and Investigation Discovery.

Spacey has consistently denied the allegations, labeling them “anonymized and non-specific” in a statement on X. He criticized Channel 4 for not allowing sufficient time for a response. “I will not sit back and be attacked by a dying network’s one-sided ‘documentary’ about me in their desperate attempt for ratings. There’s a proper channel to handle allegations against me, and it’s not Channel 4,” Spacey asserted. “Each time I have been given the time and a proper forum to defend myself, the allegations have failed under scrutiny, and I have been exonerated.”

Channel 4 responded, stating that “Spacey Unmasked” aims to explore power dynamics and inappropriate behavior in the workplace, giving voice
to those who had previously been unable to speak out.

In recent legal battles, Spacey was cleared of sexual assault charges in the UK, related to his tenure as artistic director at the Old Vic
theater in London from 2004 to 2013. In 2022, a New York jury found him not liable in a civil suit brought by Rapp.

Discussing the impact of the #MeToo movement with The Telegraph, Spacey acknowledged the progress made but emphasized that some accused
individuals are denied a fair chance to prove their innocence. He criticized corporations for prematurely severing ties without proper investigation. “If the companies that I had an incredible partnership with had stood up and said, ‘We hear you and we take allegations seriously and we’re going to investigate this. And when we discover what the truth is, we’re going to tell you how we’re going to react.’ But instead, they publicly divorced themselves from me and said that they would never work with me again before a single question had been asked,” he lamented.

Spacey, a two-time Academy Award winner for “The Usual Suspects” (1995) and “American Beauty” (1999), has two projects in
pre-production according to IMDb, signaling a potential comeback in the making.
