Overview

  • Spacey was acquitted this week of sexual assault charges in the UK, but public perception issues may prevent major Hollywood roles.
  • Sources indicate Spacey's claim that producers are ready to hire him is likely untrue, and he won't have the career he once did.
  • Spacey has upcoming roles in small independent films, but demand for him in leading roles is limited.
  • It's unclear if Spacey will work on big budget Hollywood films again or if indie movies and cheaper action films are more likely.
  • It remains to be seen if Netflix or others in Hollywood will show renewed interest in working with Spacey post-acquittal.
