I was going to mention him in the "TV personalities who randomly disappear" thread, but obviously it's no great mystery why you don't see much of him these days.

As far as I can tell, lots of allegations, but all charges dropped and at least at the moment it seems unlikely he'll find himself in Jail any time soon.

He was a great actor at time, do we think he'll ever make a come-back?

Nope.

All networks assume someone is guilty if they are accused and careers don't resume to the same level as will always be tarnished.

Shame as a great actor.

It's no shame, its the very very least he deserves.

Guilty until proven innocent in your book, then?

He's not in a court of law, he's free to think whatever he likes. The world isn't black or white. Why hasn't Spacey sued his accusers?

seems to tied up (no pun intended) with this Maxwell/Prince Andrew thing at the moment with a pic of him and her sitting on the thrones in Buck Palace.

For comparison, Micheal Barrymore was innocent. Look at his career.

As far as I can tell, the only factual part of that story is that Spacey once sat next to Maxwell in Buckingham Palace.

Hes a very good actor, and currently innocent.
But then I'm still a fan of Jim'll Fix It who is also innocent, so what do I know????

Don't know, the world isn't black or white.
Do you know many people who have successfully sued their accusers?

What he is guilty of is the worst “coming out” To deflect criticism ever. His sexual preferences are one of the worst kept secrets and he did a disservice to the entire community in doing so.

Accused of sexual misconduct against men? “Can’t have been me, I’m gay and feel persecuted.”
It’s a real shame because I loved his work until that point. But, like Jackson, I can’t enjoy it now.

Not sure I could do away with my 'chap', even if I killed someone in a car crash.

I saw quite a bit of Spacey's theatre work while he was artistic director at the Old Vic.

Inherit the Wind was a tour de force, IMO. A wonderful production in which he shone in the part of Henry Durham.
