I think Kevin Spacey may be one of the best (most skilled) actors of his generation, and among the best across several generations. A true peer of Dustin Hoffman.
I was shocked by the allegations, and crushed when it became evident (to me) that it wasn't a smear campaign.
In a way it's crazy that I can be so emotionally engaged with someone I've never met, likely never will, and who has no idea I exist. OTOH, it's not surprising when people we respect, or even idolize, turn out to be not only merely human, but morally flawed in particularly inexcusable ways.
I still feel sad and betrayed by Spacey, and it'll forever taint my ability to enjoy his incredible performances.
If you had paid any attention to gossip in the 2000s, you'd have heard about Spacey being a creep. It was an open secret.
"Goddammit, he was so good at playing a creep! Why did he have to turn out to be a real creep?"
Yeah, that's how I felt about Jonathan Majors as Kang. "He's great! Got this fun, wild, sensitive vibe, but there's this dark and menacing core lurking beneath." uhuh.
Yeah man, that one hurt for sure...
