      It was just a US knockoff of a classic British series. The original is better. Spacey is good but he is better in all his good movies.

      All these are a testament to how great an actor he is.

      American Beauty was a well scripted movie. So was usual suspects. I like house of cards as well. There are many gifted actors who could have played those parts. (read the lines well) Unfortunately for the producers, cast and others involved in the future royalties, the powers that be didn't listen to the rumors about Spacey and went with him as lead. Pedo rumors about Spacey have been circulating in Hollywood for years. Huge movies out of circulation. Can anyone tell me where I might find the Cosby show still airing?

      Honestly, I just reviewed this and I can't say that he's a great or even a good actor, to me anyway- compared to Pacino in his prime or Daniel Day-Lewis I just don't see it- his voice is so weak and doesn't express emotion well, most of the actors I have seen in community theater are much better in my opinion- his facial expression aren't convincing either. DeNiro and Tom Hanks are both vastly better, Keven Spacey is so weak as an actor.

But in any case, he's probably good enough of an actor to pull off a lot of accents (his knack at impersonations is good evidence).

    Francis Underwood was the role that really turned me on to Kevin Spacey. Most of his most famous roles were when I was too young to watch his movies, so I wasn’t too familiar with him. So glad he was cast on House of Cards before being exposed. The last season was NOT the same without him.

      He admitted acting inappropriately towards a 14 year old and with14 other accusers, it's a little more than something on twitter. Just because he read lines well in well written roles does not excuse him from scaring children for the rest of their lives. John Wayne Gacy played a clown for sick kids in hospitals and by all accounts, he was good as Pogo but raping and killing 33 young men and boys kinda overshadows that. As well it should.

    I love K-Pax. To this day, I am still uncertain whether or not his character was an alien living in a crazy man's body until he could travel home, or a crazy man who thought he was an alien who could predict future events - had knowledge of the universe that made astronomers stand in awe - and predicted his death to the millisecond. The part of the movie where he's remembering stumbling on the murder/rape of his wife and daughter made me so sad that I became nauseous.

      I agree with you, that movie was an intense roller emotional coaster, one thing for sure it made you think and question. after all what caused the electrical effects?,
      The ending is so sad, that we the viewer wishes he was an Alien, we wish he was from K=Pax, because the reality is sick. so in essence we are put into his shoes.

      I am with you, as well. I am positive that the movie suggests he *was* an alien. Don't forget he took the girl with him back to K-Pax and left the traumatized guy behind. The concept is complicated and masterfully given. To me, this is the No 1. A great actor and an exemplary performance in a story that needed great mastery to be given right.

    • @xXxHoodRichxXx

    • @robvalley

      I believe that Prot was an alien entity that used the body of Robert Porter to enter a human form. When he went back to K-PAX he left the body behind. The person we're seeing at the end is the real Robert Porter. He's brain damaged and non-responsive as a result of his drowning incident.

    The Usual Suspects is really his best performance. On my first watch I felt something was not right with the way the character was acting at certain moments, but those moments were extremely subtle and incredibly well executed by Spacey. It's the definition of a layered performance.

    The third time Kevin Spacey ever appeared on TV was 1988 in a crime series called Wise Guy. He was the arch villain Mel Profitt, and he had a major role over 7 episodes. Brilliant bravura performance, absolutely deserves to be in the top 10. By the way, Wise Guy was brilliantly cast, with a young Jonathan Banks (Mike from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul) as Ken Wahl's superior officer, Jerry Lewis in his first dramatic TV role, Deborah Harry and Glenn Frey excellent in major acting roles, Stanley Tucci in one of his first roles, and many others.

    I'm *so* glad that they included The Ref! I have loved that movie ever since I was 13 - in my opinion it's one of the most underrated comedies ever :)

    American Beauty was a Master Peice though!
