It is pretty bizarre. Spacey donning the persona of Frank Underwood and thumbing his nose at his critics.
I think it’s a great example of how these people live in their own reality bubble. Does he really have no one willing to tell him that this is a bad idea? No one to tell him that if he ever had a chance to resurrect his career, this is likely to ensure that chance isgone?
While I certainly don’t feel sorry for him, I find it morbidly interesting how he or anyone could have thought this was a good idea.

IIRC, the best part about this cringey video is that it was making the rounds online the same day the news of his recent charges for felony sexual assault was also going around online, which had to be a brutal surprise.
He has to appear at an arraignment in Massachusetts soon, I read.
Interesting interview with Spacey, not all about his troubles. He certainly is great at his job. Don't know if all the allegations were true or not, but cancellation policies and me-too lawyers looking for a pay day always taint these situations.
That was a little weird, to say the least. I still think he was a great actor and I enjoyed his performances. I don't really give a damn about his personal life; that's not the product he was selling me. I still think Michael Jackson made great music, too.

He's always been creepy to me. He did well playing creepy roles in movies but now that it's been proven he's an actual creep, I doubt if this goes anywhere.

I feel sorry for the man. I think he's been through enough.
I don't care whether or not there's a PR campaign to rehabilitate his image. All I know is that I think everyone should lay off of him. Hollywood is overflowing with shameless freaks who've not suffered the consequences of their behavior.

I think he's a very good actor and have enjoyed him in movies and series. I don't know all the details of his escapades, but like para said, hollywood is full of crazy people, but he was caught....or singled out?

I saw a interview where he was talking about how he has lost everything, and is losing his house in Baltimore (iirc).
