He compares his cancellation to the blacklisting of writers, actors and directors in Hollywood in the 1950s for alleged communist sympathies, “when a lot of people were not guilty of what they were accused of”.
The most celebrated screenwriter of that period was Dalton Trumbo, who was forced to write scripts pseudonymously, including The Brave One, for which he won an Academy Award he was unable to claim. In 1958, he was hired by the producer Otto Preminger to write the script for Spartacus, starring Kirk Douglas.
“When he said, ‘Dalton Trumbo’s name is going on Spartacus,’ everyone around him said, ‘You’re crazy, you’re going to get cancelled,’” Spacey says. “And Kirk Douglas said, ‘You know what, we get to play the hero in movies, but it’s not that simple in life.’ He was willing to stand up and say enough is enough. The moment he did that, the blacklist was over.
jfc. Kevin Spacey compared himself to Trumbo being blacklisted for being an open communist.
Kevin Spacey is also in the Epstein flight logs.

the hollywood star system is so weird. its hard to decouple a character's traits from the actor.
for example, spacey has played multiple roles as a person of exceptional intelligence, when in reality, he's a complete dumbass.

He tried that. The full interview says that he's living in Cyprus and that he wanted to do a show in Tel Aviv but his staff are afraid to go to Tel Aviv. Zionist outlet blames "Gaza Problem".
There were supposed to be three shows – as he puts it, “getting our feet wet in a city that’s not London or New York” – one in Cyprus, then Athens, then Tel Aviv. But the show in Athens has been cancelled – not, it seems, because of the scandal that has haunted Spacey for the past seven years, but for political reasons. As far as he knew, he says, the promoter had cancelled the show fearing that his staff might not turn up. The far reach of the Gaza problem.
“It was suggested that if we wanted to continue with Athens we should not be playing Tel Aviv right after. I would love to play Athens when they are more accepting of the fact that they should not be in the position of telling someone where they can and cannot perform. And I’m delighted to play in Tel Aviv.”

Sounds like it wasn't cancelled fearing the pedophile wouldn't show up, but rather that it was political pressuring by the promoter. I would've thought the overlap between "okay with pedophiles" and "anti-Israel" would be pretty small.

I mean, goodness knows how many innocent lives the Red Scare ruined. I mean, it wasn't right to ruin people's lives for being communists in the first place, but there's no shortage of accused who weren't even commies.

Living in hotels is several times as expensive as just renting a place. If you wanted to just drop off the radar you could buy a shack for half a year's worth of hotel rooms.
It's not like the whole formal economy has blacklisted him (which tbh would be a fair punishment).

I've also let friends crash with me for a few months while they're in a bad place, and been the one to crash while I figure things out.
This suggests Kevin Spacey has no real friends/loves anyone or has anyone that loves him back. Or maybe even while he's pity farming about being "homeless" he still thinks that sharing a living space is beneath him.
