Actor Kevin Spacey is returning to an American film for the first time since he was accused of sexual abuse. The 62-year-old actor, who has not worked in recent years, was spotted by the entertainment site TMZ in Dunsmuir (California) on the set of the new film Peter Five Eight.
Several men accused Spacey of sexually transgressive behaviour in 2017. The case caused the actor to leave the popular Netflix series House Of Cards shortly after, in which he played the lead role of President Frank Underwood. Several cases were settled and dismissed. An investigation is still ongoing in London.
No details are known about Spacey’s role and the film. The thriller is being directed by Michael Zaiko Hall, who is best known for his work on the visual effects of films such as Planet Terror, Pacific Rim and Cloverfield, according to the Internet Movie Database (IMDb).
It is the second acting job that Spacey has booked this year. It was previously announced that he also has a role in the Italian film L’uomo che disegnò Dio. Spacey’s last film, Billionaire Boys Club, was released in 2018. It was already filmed before the accusations against the actor. The American film was poorly received and flopped.
