Kevin Spacey

About: Kevin Spacey grew up in Los Angeles, but was born on July 26, 1959, in South Orange, N.J. As a child, he got in trouble so much that his parents sent him to military school, from which he was expelled. A prescient teacher at his next school suggested he try the theater, and a passion was born.Spacey's first screen role was in 1986's Heartburn (opposite Meryl Streep). A prolific actor, he's been in more than 40 movies, including A Time to Kill, L.A. Confidential and the animated A Bug's Life (as the voice of Hopper).Although the consensus around Hollywood is that Spacey is the consummate actor, able to inhabit just about any role, he's best known for two Academy Award-winning portrayals: As the deceitful and deadly Verbal Kint in The Usual Suspects (1995) and as the heart-wrenchingly lost, unemployed husband and father, Lester Burnham, in American Beauty (1999). Other notable roles include those in The Shipping News and Beyond the Sea, as Lex Luthor in Superman Returns, and an Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated turn in the made-for-TV movie Recount.

K-Pax

Rated: | Views Released Year: 2001
Genre:
About: Kevin Spacey plays Prot, an extraterrestrial from the planet K-PAX (or so he'd have us believe). Psychiatrist Jeff Bridges doesn't buy any of Prot's bilge -- that is, until the Ray-Ban-wearin' spaceman starts talking to dogs (and understanding them!) and pulling off other artful tricks like a funkified Mary Poppins. It's entertainment so far out, all we can say is, "Beam us up!"
