Kevin Spacey Says He Has “No Home” After Sexual Misconduct Allegations

And now, nearly a decade after the allegations first surfaced, Spacey—who, most recently, performed a variety show in Greece Nov. 15—said he’s hoping to return to Hollywood.

“We are in touch with some extremely powerful people who want to put me back to work,” he told The Telegraph. “And that will happen in its right time. But I will also say what I think the industry seems to be waiting for is to be given permission—by someone who is in some position of enormous respect and authority.”

Nonetheless, Spacey has taken his downfall as a learning lesson.

“It’s been incredibly positive,” he explained. “To have an opportunity to stop, look at my life, ask questions. Why was I such a good villain, why did I fit so well into a narrative that was out there? And some of those were important questions for me to ask, to take accountability for where I made mistakes.”
