actor,
director,

Best Actor Academy Award win for
American Beauty (1999). His other starring roles in

Early life
He was born Kevin Spacey Fowler in
South Orange, New Jersey to Kathleen A. Spacey (December 5, 1931 – March 19, 2003), a
secretary, and Thomas Geoffrey Fowler (June 4, 1924 – December 24, 1992),
[1] a
technical writer.
[2] He has two older siblings: a sister, Julie, and a brother, Randy. He attended
Northridge Military Academy from which he was expelled,
Canoga Park High School (in tenth and eleventh grades), and then
Chatsworth High School in
Chatsworth, California, where he graduated
valedictorian of his class.
[3][4] At Chatsworth High, he starred in the school's senior production of
The Sound of Music, playing the part of
Captain Georg von Trapp, opposite
Mare Winningham's character,
Maria. While in high school, he took his mother's maiden name, "Spacey", originally a
Welsh name, belonging to his great-great-grandfather (spelled "Spacy"), as his acting surname.
[5] Several reports have incorrectly suggested that he took his name in tribute to actor
Spencer Tracy, combining Tracy's first and last names.
[5] He had tried to succeed as a
stand–up comedian for several years, before attending the
Juilliard School in
New York City, where he studied drama, between 1979 and 1981. During this time period, Spacey performed stand–up comedy in
bowling alley talent contests.
[6]Career
Spacey's first professional stage appearance was as a spear-carrier in a
New York Shakespeare Festival performance of
Henry VI, part 1 in 1981. The following year, he made his first
Broadway appearance as Oswald in a production of
Henrik Ibsen's
Ghosts, starring
Liv Ullmann. Then he portrayed Philinte in
Moliere's The Misanthrope. In 1984, it was
David Rabe's Hurlyburly where, energetic and fabulously adaptable, Spacey rotated through each of the male parts (he'd later appear as Mickey in the screen version too). Next came
Anton Chekhov's The Seagull and a period, in 1986, performing
Sleuth in a New Jersey dinner theatre.
But his prominence as a stage actor really began in 1986, when he was cast opposite
Jack Lemmon,
Peter Gallagher and
Bethel Leslie as Jamie, the eldest Tyrone son in
Jonathan Miller's lauded production of
Eugene O'Neill's
Long Day's Journey into Night. He made his first major television appearance in the second season premiere of
Crime Story, playing a
Kennedy-esque American senator. Although his interest soon turned to film, Spacey remained actively involved in the live theater community. In 1991, he won a
Tony Award for his portrayal of "Uncle Louie" in
Neil Simon's Broadway hit
Lost in Yonkers. Spacey's father was unconvinced that Spacey could make a career for himself as an actor, and did not change his mind until Spacey became a well known theatre actor.
[6]Some of Spacey's earlier roles include a widowed eccentric millionaire on
L.A. Law, the
made–for–television film
The Murder of Mary Phagan (1988), opposite
Jack Lemmon, and the
Richard Pryor/
Gene Wilder–starring comedy
See No Evil, Hear No Evil (1989). Spacey earned an avid fan base following, after playing the criminally insane arms dealer Mel Profitt on the
television series
Wiseguy. He quickly developed a reputation as a character actor, and was cast in bigger roles, including one-half of the bickering
Connecticut couple in the
dark comedy The Ref (1994), a malicious Hollywood studio boss in the satire
Swimming with Sharks, and the put-upon office manager in the all-star ensemble film
Glengarry Glen Ross (1992), gaining him positive notices by critics.
His performance as the enigmatic criminal Verbal Kint in
The Usual Suspects launched him to A-list status and won him the
Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
Spacey appeared in the 1995 thriller film
Seven, with
Brad Pitt and
Morgan Freeman, making a sudden and unexpected entrance late in the film as the
serial killer John Doe, after going unmentioned in the film's ads and opening credits.
Spacey played an egomaniacal
district attorney in
A Time to Kill (1996), and founded
Trigger Street Productions in 1997, with the purpose of producing and developing
entertainment across various
media. He made his directorial debut with the film
Albino Alligator (1996). The film was a failure at the
box office, grossing $339,379 with a budget of $6 million, but critics praised Spacey's direction.
Kevin Spacey in Sam Mendes' 1999 film
American Beauty.
Spacey won universal praise and a
Best Actor Oscar for his role as a
depressed suburban father who re-evaluates his life in 1999's
American Beauty; the same year, he was honored with a star on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame. Spacey also earned another Tony nomination the same year for his work in a Broadway production of
The Iceman Cometh. During the several years following American Beauty's release, Spacey appeared in films that he believes hadn't done as well critically or in terms of box office. In 2001, Spacey co-hosted with
Judi Dench Unite for the Future Gala, the
UK's fundraiser for the British Victims of
9/11 and
Medecins Sans Frontieres at
London's
Old Vic Theatre, produced by
Harvey Goldsmith and
Dominic Madden.
He played a physically and emotionally scarred grade school teacher in
Pay It Forward (2000), a patient in a mental institution, who may or may not be an
alien in
K-Pax (2001), and singer
Bobby Darin in
Beyond the Sea (2004). Beyond The Sea was a lifelong dream project for Spacey, who took on co-writing, directing, and starring duties in the
biography/musical about Darin's life, career, and relationship with late actress
Sandra Dee. Spacey provided his own vocals on the Beyond the Sea
soundtrack and appeared in several tribute concerts around the time of the film's release. He received mostly positive reviews for his singing, as well as a
Golden Globe nomination for his performance. However, reviewers criticized the age disparity between Spacey and Darin, noting that Spacey was too old to convincingly portray Darin, particularly during the early stages of the singer's life depicted in the film. Spacey has said that despite criticism, he is still proud of the film.
Spacey hosted
Saturday Night Live twice: first in 1997 with musical guest
Beck and special guests
Michael Palin and
John Cleese from
Monty Python's Flying Circus. In this episode, Spacey parodied
Christopher Walken,
Walter Matthau, and
Jack Lemmon in a three-part pre-taped sketch about actors who auditioned for
Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope; and again in the last episode of season 31 with musical guest
Nelly Furtado where Spacey played a detective in the sketch "Two A-Holes At A Crime Scene", one of the Falconer's past selves in
Will Forte's sketch, "The Falconer", a parody of
Neil Young, and as himself in a parody of The Usual Suspects.

2006 Monaco Grand Prix with
Brandon Routh,
Kate Bosworth, and drivers from Red Bull Racing.
In 2006, Spacey played
Lex Luthor in the
Bryan Singer–directed
superhero film,
Superman Returns. He was to return for its 2009 sequel, but it was recently revealed that there won't be a chronological sequel; it is currently unknown if he has been asked to resume the role in any future films. Spacey also appeared in
Edison, co-starring
Morgan Freeman and
Justin Timberlake; Edison received a
direct–to–video release on July 18, 2006. In 2008, he played an
MIT lecturer in the film
21, along with
Kate Bosworth,
Laurence Fishburne, and
Jim Sturgess. The film is based on
Ben Mezrich's best seller,
Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six MIT Students Who Took Vegas for Millions, a story of student MIT card-counters who used
mathematical probability to aid them in card games such as
blackjack.
Spacey is well-known in Hollywood for his
impressions as when he appeared on
Inside the Actors Studio he imitated, at host
James Lipton's request:
James Stewart,
Johnny Carson,
Katharine Hepburn,
Clint Eastwood,
John Gielgud,
Marlon Brando,
Christopher Walken,
Al Pacino and
Jack Lemmon.
Capitol/
EMI's album Forever Cool (2007) features two duets with Spacey and the voice of the late
Dean Martin: "Ain't That a Kick in the Head" and "King of the Road."
Spacey sits on the Board of Directors of the
Motion Picture and Television Fund.
[7]The Old Vic
In February 2003, Spacey announced that he was returning to
London to become the artistic director of the
Old Vic, one of the city's oldest theatres.
[8] Appearing at a press conference with
Judi Dench and
Elton John, he promised both to appear on stage and to bring in big-name talent.
[9] Spacey undertook to remain in the post for a full ten years. The Old Vic Theatre Company, in its current form, stages shows eight months out of the year. Spacey's first season started in September 2004, and opened with the British premiere of the play
Cloaca by
Maria Goos, directed by Spacey, which opened to mixed reviews.
[10] In the 2005 season, Spacey made his UK Shakespearean debut, to good notices, in the title role of
Richard II directed by
Trevor Nunn.
[10]In mid–2006, Spacey felt he was having the time of his life working at the Old Vic. At this point in his career, he was "trying to do things now that are much bigger and outside himself".
[11] He performed in productions of National Anthems by Dennis McIntyre, and
The Philadelphia Story by
Philip Barry in which he played C. K. Dexter Haven, the
Cary Grant role in the film version. Critics applauded Spacey's daring for taking on the management of a theatre, but noted that while his acting was impressive, his skills and judgment as a producer/manager had yet to develop.
In the 2006 season, Spacey suffered a major setback with a production of
Arthur Miller's
Resurrection Blues, directed by
Robert Altman.
[12] Despite an all-star cast (including
Neve Campbell and
Matthew Modine) and the pedigree of Miller's script, Spacey's decision to lure Altman to the stage proved disastrous: after a fraught rehearsal period, the play opened to a critical panning, and closed after only a few weeks.
[11] Later in the year, Spacey starred in
Eugene O'Neill's
A Moon for the Misbegotten, along with
Colm Meaney and
Eve Best. The play received excellent reviews for Spacey and Best, and was transferred to
Broadway in 2007.
For the spring part of the 2007–08 season,
Jeff Goldblum and
Laura Michelle Kelly joined Spacey as the three characters in
David Mamet's 1988 play
Speed-the-Plow.
[13]In January 2009, he directed the premiere of
Joe Sutton's
Complicit, with
Richard Dreyfuss,
David Suchet and
Elizabeth McGovern.
In June 2009 it was announced that
Trevor Nunn will return to direct Mr. Spacey in a revival of "
Inherit The Wind" at
The Old Vic in London. Previews are scheduled to begin in September 2009. Based on a true story of a teacher arrested for teaching his students evolution also known as the "
scopes monkey trial", Mr. Spacey will play defense lawyer
Henry Drummond that was made famous by actor
Spencer Tracy in the 1960 film of the same name.
Other honors
Spacey was awarded an
Doctor of Letters, honoris causa from the
London South Bank University in November 2005.
[14]In June 2008, he was appointed as
Cameron Mackintosh Visiting Professor of Contemporary Theatre at
St Catherine's College, Oxford, succeeding
Patrick Stewart in the post. He was officially welcomed on October 13, 2008.
[15]Personal life
In September 2006, Spacey announced his intention to stay on at the Old Vic for at least another nine years, and that due to his continuing UK residency he intends to take up British citizenship when it becomes available to him.
[16]Spacey is a staunch
Democrat and a friend of former
US President Bill Clinton, having met Clinton before his presidency began. Spacey has described Clinton as "one of the shining lights" of the political process.
[6] According to
Federal Election Commission data, Spacey has contributed
US$42,000 to Democratic candidates and committees.
[17] He additionally made a
cameo appearance in President Clinton: Final Days, a light-hearted
political satire produced by the
Clinton administration for the
White House Correspondents Dinner.
[18]In September 2007, Spacey met
Venezuelan president
Hugo Chávez. Neither of them spoke to the press about their encounter, but hours later the actor visited the publicly funded movie studio, Cinema Villa.
[19]In December of that year, he co-hosted the
Nobel Peace Prize Concert with
Uma Thurman.
[20]Spacey is unmarried and vehemently protects his private life, about which very little is known.
[21] This generated
tabloid press rumors that he might be
gay; however, Spacey has repeatedly denied them over the years, for example in
Playboy (October 1999),
[22][23] in The Sunday Times Magazine (December 19, 1999)
[24] and implicitly in Gotham Magazine (May 2007).
[25] Moreover,
April Winchell revealed, in broadcasts of her KFI show, on her web diary and several other websites, that she and Spacey dated for a while after high school, during a run of the musical
Gypsy, and later went to New York together.
[26][27] She and Spacey have remained friends.
Between 1992 and 2000, Spacey discreetly dated Dianne Dreyer,
[25][28][29] script supervisor to
Anthony Minghella,
M. Night Shyamalan and
Sydney Pollack.
