Full podcast episode: ruclips.net/video/XJTMQtE-MIo/видео.html Lex Fridman podcast channel: ruclips.net/user/lexfridman Guest bio: Kevin Spacey is a two-time Oscar-winning actor, who starred in Se7en, the Usual Suspects, American Beauty, and House of Cards, creating haunting performances of characters who often embody the dark side of human nature.
He wasn't "evil". He did not have some truly bad and evil goal he was trying to achieve. He was trying to further his interests, with whatever means necessary, yes, but he wasn't going out of his way to hurt somebody. Sure he killed a person, but what difference does it make if a politician kills an innocent person with his bare hands or an innocent person dies from a drone strike by his orders? It is all debatable, like, she KNEW what she was getting into... Plus, if the American people lived better under his rule, how evil can he be, really? He is not "evil", an asshole, a killer, a snake, but all of those don't constitute "evil"
They're literally butt hurt you know why because he was touching their booty holes LOL we all know he's a great actor but you can't be Diddling lil boys okay
I first saw Kevin Spacey as Mel Proffitt in Wiseguy. As good as he was in that show, I was surprised at his trajectory in the mid ‘90’s when the world caught up to his talent. “Only the toes knows”.
I know he has done questionable things (but who with fame & money wouldn’t), but man what an actor and I want him back on screen to entertain us once again and make us forget about all the madness that going on right now
I am tired of everyone bashing Kevin Spacey. He didn’t do anything that fucked up. He grabbed some dues ass big deal get over it there is other actors out there. That’s done much worse and that’s fine. Leave Kevin spacey alone.
@@gennerobootz6490 You obviously aren't familiar with the legal system. Just because someone is found not guilty, that does not mean he/she is innocent. There is an extremely high burden of proof in criminal cases that is very difficult to meet.
I want to see a Shawn Ryan, Joe Rogan, Lex Clips (Don't know his name) and Tucker Carlson roundtable talk on aliens, 9/11, and the current state of American politics and media. I'll take leave just to watch it live.
Why doesn't he mention Ian Richardson and the 1990s BBC TV series of House of Cards? Richardson does the same sort of asides to the audience as Spacey does.
Everyone is saying "not a great person" "why is this guy even here"... show me somebody who truly is good in that town. Let this man work again, what??? y'all could forgive gypsy Rose and not this man? He was found "not guilty" that used to mean something. The problem is you all are to young to have fucked up yet and think your better then everyone else cause you know how to hit buttons on phone...don't believe your own hype your not that "good" or "great". please name me the culture in the history of civilization that even listened to the youngest generation? You used to have to do something before your opinion was valued at all.
I do not deny Kevin Spacey brilliant performance as Frank Underwood but he merely plays the same as the original "House of Cards" actor, including Direct Address as seen in the opening seen, and many other times in the original U.K.TV program ruclips.net/video/VVnzA7wzLRA/видео.html
I agree with people saying he should still get work, he is a great actor. However i will never respect him as a person, and don’t really want to hear him speak about anything but acting.
Lex must have felt strongly that spacey was terribly wronged , lex has integrity and empathy, and gave spacey a platform to reintroduce what a great actor and consumate professional he is , it was a great podcast ~
If directors still want to give him roles, so be it. The man should have the opportunity to work. I think it’s honestly shameful to parade him and his work in this way though
the part that Singer give him in this life...well Christopher Mcquarrie as well. And those who were involved... I mean, he is one of the greatest in the hall of fame. If Phillip Seymour Hoffman had not committed suicide, He would be with him on this hipotetic hall. Al this for to say He is not Keyser Soze, the case is the problem in tha amazing story. i mean, the guy is a leyend of the 7th Art! Many thanks for this enterview.
What I don’t like about lex is his inability to really engage with what Kevin just said and ask follow up questions spontaneously. He just sticks to his script and list of q’s.
The “direct address” , that’s what Politicians do, they act as if they are your best friend! The House of Cards cancelling his role was so disappointing, all on accusations!
Screw that liar Anthony Rapp. He was jealous of Kevin’s career because he was becoming big star while being in the closet and Anthony’s career stalled because he was an out actor… He said Kevin was a “fraud” He even lied about the type of place Kevin had at the time where the alleged assault happened… Kevin was in a studio apartment and didn’t even have a bedroom. Proven in court that it was all BS. As far as I’m concerned what little career Anthony has should have been over for being the one to initiate the ruining of this man.
Of course not. We don't want that liar to sue Lex for 40m dollars. That guy is dangerous. He wrote a book where he admits to having been violent with his own mother since he was 12 and hitting his ex-boyfriend too. In that book he never mentioned Kevin Spacey. Actors should stay away from him.
Este tipo es uno de los mejores actores de todos los tiempos. Y por cuestiones de su vida privada (culpable o no) nos perdimos de seguir viendo actuaciones memorables que podrían haber contribuido mucho a la historia y el negocio del cine. La cultura Woke está destruyendo todo. Porque cancelan al artista por lo que hace o deja de hacer en su vida privada. Picasso era maltratador y golpeador de mujeres según cuenta la historia y apuesto que no hay nadie en este planeta que no querría tener un Picasso colgado en la pared de su casa si se lo regalaran (ya sea por su valor comercial o por el valor artístico) porque el tipo era un misógino, mujeriego y maltratador. Hay que aprender a separar al artista de la persona y no tomarse todo de manera personal.
You're being honest, which you shouldn't be shamed for. I'd say most people share your sentiment, which should serve as a reminder as to how damaging vile accusations can be. It's human nature. This is why justice should be done in an orderly fashion, not on social media.
I am tired of everyone bashing Kevin Spacey. He didn’t do anything that fucked up. He grabbed some dues ass big deal get over it there is other actors out there. That’s done much worse and that’s fine. Leave Kevin spacey alone.
He’s been accused of a lot more than that, but I do see your point. It’s just that his actions aren’t acceptable in today’s society, and frankly never were for that matter.

da.
@@jimmyblood3416 lame bro
@@kevindurnantula shut up Kevin. Nobody likes you
in my opinion his performance in house of cards is hands down the best ever performance in any show/movie.
His natural voice is so different from most of the characters he plays. He is a wonderful actor. Thanks Lex🇨🇦
I'd argue that "borderline evil" is understating the Frank Underwood character! 😂
Throwing his lover/ journalist under the train, took me back and never left me ( what are we capable of?) and it's fiction . Masterpiece

People getting butthurt over having this great actor who led an amazing career need to get over themselves.

You are maturing through the hard times, Kevin. Bravo!
Good man.
Hope you’ll bring your talent back to screens for us.
Come back.
I think I watched house of cards up until 6th season around 5 times
Same
Lex comes back from the jungle and interviews, Kevin Spacey. Lex, you got it going on my man!
I first saw Kevin Spacey as Mel Proffitt in Wiseguy. As good as he was in that show, I was surprised at his trajectory in the mid ‘90’s when the world caught up to his talent. “Only the toes knows”.
Excellent conversation.
Funny thing is I actually still enjoy Spaceys role 👀👀 despite the allegations his performance were top notch
not guilty
a what the allegations actually have to do with quality of his performance ?
Such a great actor! I’m so glad to see him in the media. Welcome back Kevin Spacey!!
Says a lot about you, P3D0 supporter
Fantastic actor, maybe not a great person. But what an actor!
Amazing sick fuck. Bizarre human being. Weirdo actor. But amazing sick fuck. For sure☢️☢️☢️
Pedo elite. Yall clueless
He was acquitted. Lovely bloke
No diddy
@@shaunhdjacquittal does not equal innocent. Go watch the documentary.
Mad respect for Lex for doing this. Spacey is a legend but nuts
I know he has done questionable things (but who with fame & money wouldn’t), but man what an actor and I want him back on screen to entertain us once again and make us forget about all the madness that going on right now

You clearly didn’t watch the Max documentary. Go watch it and listen to all of the allegations and then see if you feel the same.

I have a complaint. I need more episodes. Please work harder and make more. :D Thank you.
It's outragoues.
@@StimParavaneIt's unfair!
Tbh HOC seems tame compared to what we have going on today.
I love Kevin Spacy, glad you had him as a guest, wonderful!
Great seeing him doing interviews again. We need him on the big screen again too

Bold and I’m here for it.

Frank Underwood needs to be in the discussion for best TV anti hero (Tony is obviously no. 1)
Neither of those are antiheroes, they’re villains. They’re villain protagonists
What a great actor. Hollywood please bring him back to us pleeease.
I don't think I've ever heard his normal, actual, speaking voice before 0_o
If we can still listen to thriller we should have had a final season of house.
Kaza Soze best ever
From what I have seen from Kevin Spacey in his interviews, his persona seems inauthentic. Anybody else feel this?
Amazing !!! Thank u
Les Wexner next
😂
I agree with people saying he should still get work, he is a great actor. However i will never respect him as a person, and don’t really want to hear him speak about anything but acting.
That’s such a “Slick Willie” Clinton thing to say 😏
Very interesting and well spoken person, Mr.Spacey. Good, good interview. ✌
Lex must have felt strongly that spacey was terribly wronged , lex has integrity and empathy, and gave spacey a platform to reintroduce what a great actor and consumate professional he is , it was a great podcast ~
We lost one of the best actors to a culture that lied and cancels over truth.
He deserved this podcast.
Love seeing him back
If directors still want to give him roles, so be it. The man should have the opportunity to work. I think it’s honestly shameful to parade him and his work in this way though
Spacey personifies "the banality of evil".
the part that Singer give him in this life...well Christopher Mcquarrie as well. And those who were involved... I mean, he is one of the greatest in the hall of fame.

Bro what acting?? I was just myself in that show! xDDD
Better than having Netanyahu, honestly.
Such a brilliant actor.
Has over 50 accusers
What I don’t like about lex is his inability to really engage with what Kevin just said and ask follow up questions spontaneously. He just sticks to his script and list of q’s.
Greatest actor alive.
Such a shame, an A list actor that went down the tube to get an F report in his personal life
Because of a Netflix you sawed? 😂
You keep a broad church there Lex.
This is going to be challenging to listen to.
What a great actor!
Has the High Council of Hollywood voted that Kevin Spacey should now be publicly rehabilitated? Strange.
I prefer the world where Kevin Spacey is not guilty. For that reason I gladly accept his exoneration.
The “direct address” , that’s what Politicians do, they act as if they are your best friend!
The House of Cards cancelling his role was so disappointing, all on accusations!
Maybe you could interview Anthony Rapp next…

I don't know what to think about this. I'm pretty sure this guy shouldn't be walking around.
I'll cancel you, mate ... go back in your hole. You shouldn't be walking around imo
What did he do so bad to be shunned he made a mistake 20 years ago there are other actors out there that have done much worse
He was proven innocent. Accusations should not ruin a person.
What crime was he convicted of?

Extremely so
