I think Kevin Spacey may be one of the best (most skilled) actors of his generation, and among the best across several generations. A true peer of Dustin Hoffman.
I was shocked by the allegations, and crushed when it became evident (to me) that it wasn't a smear campaign.
In a way it's crazy that I can be so emotionally engaged with someone I've never met, likely never will, and who has no idea I exist. OTOH, it's not surprising when people we respect, or even idolize, turn out to be not only merely human, but morally flawed in particularly inexcusable ways.
I still feel sad and betrayed by Spacey, and it'll forever taint my ability to enjoy his incredible performances.
"Goddammit, he was so good at playing a creep! Why did he have to turn out to be a real creep?"
Yeah, that's how I felt about Jonathan Majors as Kang. "He's great! Got this fun, wild, sensitive vibe, but there's this dark and menacing core lurking beneath." uhuh.
