How long before Kevin Spacey is allowed to be uncancelled? Seriously, writes Allison Pearson. It has been almost seven years since Spacey had the leper’s bell hung around his neck. Is it to be a life sentence or are the millions who relish this great actor’s performances to be allowed to see him back where he belongs, on stage and screen?

Kudos to the interviewer , who asked ALL of the tough questions , she didn’t skip a beat , but she also was compassionate without coddling him or making it a fluff interview . Well done .
-
Never met him, never spoke or being next to him. I will nevertheless be forever grateful to Kevin Spacey for the joy , thrill and pleasure of the characters he has created.
-
one of my favorite actors. it is insane how people’s lives are ruined over lies
-
I met Kevin once - at a SNL party after he had hosted the show. I was a fan, not an industry person at the time, and he patiently answered all my questions. He was a lovely guy, and I appreciated the time he gave me (right) in the middle of a storming party. Life is complicated.
-
I'll watch anything Spacey does. Hell, I'll buy two tickets to the next Kevin Spacey film. Just about every performance I've seen of him, he was a powerhouse.
-
All i can say is I've missed his film and theatrical work - he's among the greatest actors out there. I am also happy he is surrounded by people who care about him.
-
I’ll be honest it’s hard to believe so many guys would claim the same thing about him
-
Don't know if Kevin Spacey is guilty or not to all these things BUT he does have a point that people were extremely quickly to judge. Everything happened so fast without much evidence, thought or anything else. If guilty.. Put him away. "Cancel Culture" is not the right way.
-
Guy Pearce the actor called him ‘handsy’ said it all really…
-
Kevin Spacey is one of the very rare actors who are absolutely amazing on stage as well as in movies. One of the greatest talents! I had the pleasure to see him on stage at the Old vic in London. Unforgettable!!
-
Cancel culture needs to end. It's not just infantile, it's dangerous.
-
STILL WILL WATCH HIS MOVIES
-
There should be consequences in law for people who make spurious accusations that are subsequently dismissed in court. If there are no consequences we will continue to see persistent persecution like this.
-
I'd go watch movie just because it has Kevin Spacey in it
-
Great 2 hour interview / discussion on Lex Fridman’s podcast a few days ago. Massive shame on UK legacy media - yet again. Alison Pearson is a very good interviewer.
-
The problem for Spacey, with this new documentary, is that the allegations are specific and overlap quite a bit. The accusers are credible and paint a picture of a deeply disturbed man who used his fame to protect himself.
-
If this truly is not true and he is innocent, the thought that they can cause such character assassination is truly frightening.
-
If he’s acting especially about his mother he got me. Although he made a quick sad to angry to happy emotion from 33 minutes to 36 minutes pretty quickly.
-
Excellent interview by Allison Pearson. She asked very tough questions, not skirting around the issues. Kevin Spacey seemed to be very open and honest. I appreciate the fact that he wasn't evasive even on the most difficult questions. A good lesson in not judging someone until all the facts are on the table.
-
He should return to acting - he is a wonderful actor. He should not be destroyed by the media !
