Can you watch movies or tv shows with Kevin Spacey starring in them anymore?

Question

After what happened?

Like house of cards, American beauty, usual suspects and others

His filmography: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Spacey_filmography

Yeah, his personal life doesn't affect my enjoyment of his moveis/shows

No, he is scum now and i can't enjoy any of his movie/shows now

I never really watched his show/movies anyways so no big deal

yes because to me they are two different things. Is he a shitty person? Absolutely, but that doesn't mean the movies he has been in (which where directed by others, written by others etc.) are not quality, it just means that same quality in his work is not the same quality he puts into his own life, clearly. He is a scummy human being and if he gets arrested I wouldn't be broken up about it, but to me that's independent of the work he has done. For instance I like Otis taylor, blues musician, however I can say that from his songs he is probably racist. Doesn't mean his music is bad it just means I disagree with his world view. Just like ghandi for instance. He fought for the liberation of his people through non violence and called for peace amongst his people when they started to get violent due to religious differences (between the muslims and hindues), I think this is quite admirable. He was also a racist, had a weird enema fetish from how its described and probably cheated on his wife with a lot younger woman. These are not admirable at all. Doesn't mean the good stuff he did is any less good, it just means that we have to acknowledge that he wasn't perfect. Applaude the good reject the bad, that's all we can do.

Yeah I can still watch them, but I was always indifferent about Kevin Spacey as an actor anyway, so it doesn't affect my choices of what to watch very much lol.

Plus, people's personal lives should be separated, to an extent, from their work. Here's why:

A movie/TV show is not just the product of one actor, but is created by the hard work in total of many people in front of and behind the camera. Any one of those people may be a criminal who hasn't been caught yet, or a racist, or a sexist, or just a plain old asshole, etc.

Watching a movie is like buying any other normal product from some store or company: if you don't buy the product because one of the company's employees may be a bad guy, it will be hard to buy any product at all. Very few things are totally clean in this world, lol.

Just another thing taken WAY to seriously that I don't even know the full extent of so I'm gonna continue to watch movies that I like with whatever actors actresses are in them regardless of what they've done in real life cause like really you can't tell me that JUST because of these accusations that you won't watch or like Horrible bosses and Baby Driver anymore (Unless you didn't like them in the first place then it doesn't matter to you)

I don't have a problem watching things he stars in. I still love House of Cards and I'm disappointed to learn they're only making one more season.

I couldn't care less about his personal life. People are getting really hung up on the accusations made against him for something that may or may not have happened 30+ years ago, and how he used that as a chance to come out. Boycotting his work isn't going to change anything - it's pointless.

The most recent accusations seem to have happened 2 months ago and the earliest one/s in the 80's. So it's not just one or two people looking for money, it's a lot of people with very similar stories *over* 30 years. He didn't do it 30 years ago, he's been doing it for 30 years.

I feel conflicted because he's really a respected actor who consistently delivers great performances. It's ironic (or telling?) that he does creepy characters so well, that it doesn't surprise me if he's really like that in real life. I hate to say that I'm still a fan of his movies.

None of this is proven, but it wouldn't surprise me if it were true.

So... I don't think it will influence me dramatically - I've never actually liked him - my gal thinks he's a great actor, which I wouldn't disagree with, but I have always had a feeling I wouldn't care for him on a one to one basis.

Irrational, but there you go...

When I was very young, my best friend's elder brother, who was 14 himself at the time, touched some younger girls sexually in the tent in the backyard, an then he came out gay later in life. When it happened everyone freaked out over it, but nothing was really done as they ask chocked it up to "youthful curiosity". This was back in the 1980s before the internet and mainstream sexual education.
If you know that you're "supposed" to like girls, but you don't, I'd imagine that you'd want to try it out on someone non-threatening and unintimidating. Not saying that makes it okay, just that I understand what was going through his head at the time. I don't think he meant any real harm, or fully understood why it was wrong at the time. Again, this doesn't excuse it, but if he's not truly a threat and feels bad about it, then leave it in the past.
