I consider him a great actor and I can’t wait to start the movie."The film will mark Spacey's first role onscreen after nearly four years since he was accused of sexual assault in 2017.
It all started with actor Anthony Rapp opening up about Spacey making a pass at him when he was 14, following which, the House of Cards actor issued a public apology and also came out as gay. Not long after that, over 20 young men alleged sexual misconduct by the actor at the Old Vic London theater that took place between 1995 and 2013.
