Kevin Spacey Returns To Acting After Almost Seven Years With Support From Hollywood
Sharon Stone, Stephen Fry, and Liam Neeson called for Kevin Spacey to return to acting. He hasn’t done acting in the past 7 years due to the allegations of sexual misconduct against him.
Sharon Stone told The Telegraph: “I can’t wait to see Kevin back at work, 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.” Furthermore, Stephan Fry also offered his support towards the actor, claiming that everything that was shown in the documentary wasn’t true, and the accusations shown don’t add up to the crime.
Stephen Fry called out the documentary for trying to get clout over something, “clumsy and inappropriate”. He added that to “devote a whole documentary to accusations that simply do not add up to crimes… how can that be considered proportionate and justified?” He went on, “Surely it is wrong to continue to batter a reputation on the strength of assertion and rhetoric rather than evidence and proof? Unless I’m missing something, I think he has paid the price.”
Liam Neeson also lent his support to the actor by writing: “Kevin is a good man and a man of character. Personally speaking, our industry needs him and misses him greatly.”

Further letters of support were also written by F Murray Abraham and Sir Trevor Nunn, who worked with Spacey in two productions.
Spacey has had a good reputation in the industry for his work. He won two Oscars for ‘The Usual Suspects’ in 1996 and 2000 for ‘American Beauty’. Kevin during an interview with the Telegraph said that the decision was a “rush to judgment” against him as the #MeToo movement was growing in Hollywood.
