Kevin Spacey is the world's greatest actor. OK, so it may sound like I put him on a pidestal and make him God, and that's pretty much right. (Kidding). After watching "Life of David Gale" (aka "Free or Fried" <---in-joke) I'm willing to kiss his shoes.
It all started in August 2000 when I saw "American Beauty" for the first
time. I hated it. Then, a couple of weeks later, I got a video from a videoclub that I had forgotten to cancel, and it was "American Beauty". I watched it again and loved it. Absolutely loved it! It's... brilliant! Since then I've been sort of hooked.
Another outstanding performance is as Verbal Kint in "The Usual Suspects". Not to mention the sarcastic Larry Mann in "The Big Kahuna". I love sarcasm. As "Prot" in K-Pax... the list goes on. I believe he can play just about anything.
OK, so there are rumours about his sexuality. Who the hell cares? And besides, look at the number of gay men I have on this site! [read: George Michael, Elton John, Boy George...] Sexuality is a brand, and no matter where this man (literally) sticks his business is none of my concern.
The thing with Kevin is that he's so... normal. He's 40-something and looks
40-something. He's losing his hair, getting wrinkles etc, and doesn't seem to care about it. Which is almost unique in Hollyweird. Look at Brad Pitt. He's now 40 and still looks 26. Of course he hasn't had any surgery... how can anyone even think that... Neither has Michael Jackson...
Anyways. Kevin Spacey is without a doubt the best at what he does.
