Kevin Spacey to return to screen after harassment scandals
Los Angeles: Disgraced former thespian, Kevin Spacey, is all set to return to the silver screen, signing up for his first role after the sexual harassment and abuse scandal of 2017 that effectively finished his career.
The former Oscar winner is set to shrug off the multiple accusations of sexual harassment that came to the surface, signing on to appear in a movie about a blind man falsely accused of harassment. The film will be directed by Vanessa Redgrave’s husband, Italian film maker Franco Nero.
L’uomo che disegnò Dio or “The Man who drew God,”, as the film will be called, will also star Redgrave herself.
Talking to ABC News, Nero said that he was “very happy” that Spacey had agreed to star in his movie. “I consider him a great actor and I cannot wait to start the film,” he further stated.
Actor Anthony Rapp publicly accused Spacey of making sexual advances on him in the 1980s, when the Star Trek star was only 14-years-old.
According to the lawsuit, Rapp “sustained psychological injuries” and “emotional and psychological damage” from the abuse, and suffered “severe emotional distress, humiliation, fright, anger, depression and anxiety.”
Spacey denied all allegations, and soon after came out as gay.
“I’m beyond horrified to hear his story. I honestly do not remember the encounter … But if I did behave as he describes, I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behaviour,” he said in a statement on social media.
A total of 30 men accused Spacey of harassment, following which his character was killed off in the last season of his hit Netflix series “House of Cards, and he was stripped of an Emmy award.
