![]() Play it Forward (2000)Ĭritics were pretty rough on this sentimental, predictable film about a scarred teacher portrayed by Spacey who finds an exceptional student in his midst. Like a terrified child, this bully is reduced to nothing before our eyes in this cautionary film about bullies. And when the petrified ants find that out, his power is broken. You can feel the smart oozing out of him, but also that deep rooted fear, because he knows his few grasshoppers cannot possibly topple a colony of thousands.

Since winning the Oscar he has not been nominated again though he has won and/ or been nominated for Emmys, Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild for his work in television. Should he never give another screen performance he would still be among the great actors of his time. ![]() Fours later American Beauty (1999) exploded out of TIFF and his life forever changed, but after a few film roles, he packed it in to go to England as Artistic Director of the Old Vic Theater, a hugely prestigious position that took him out of Hollywood for a time. He first won for The Usual Suspects (1995), Best Supporting Actor and was considered one of the major new talents in film. Nearly twenty years have passed since American Beauty (1999) the film that won Spacey his second Academy Award, and oddly he has never been nominated again. ![]() He burrows under the skin of his characters and consistently delivers good, often great performances.
