A clip of Kevin Spacey’s first American film since being canceled over sexual assault allegations is going viral on social media.
The clip, from the 2024 neo-noir thriller Peter Five Eight, sees Kevin Spacey star as a “charismatic man in black who shows up to a small mountain community at the behest of his shadowy boss.”
Posted with the caption “Hey fellas! Kevin Spacey’s got a new movie out and he looks *totally innocent*”, the viral clip of Spacey has almost a million views at the time of this writing.

One element of Spacey’s performance, and virtually every public appearance he’s made since his career fell apart, that’s caught the attention of movie fans is that he appears to still be doing his character from the Netflix series House of Cards, South Carolina-born President Frank Underwood.
“Kevin Spacey got canceled while he was doing that good ole south’n boy voice and has been cursed to speak like Foghorn Leghorn for the rest of his life,” one person joked on social media.
“It’s so poetic he got exposed while playing the House of Cards guy and now he’s stuck in that role for life,” said another.
The film is titled Peter Five Eight and also stars Jet Jandreau, Rebecca De Mornay, and Jake Weber. Directed by Michael Zaiko Hall, the film was shot in California in 2021 and was released in the United States in March of this year.
Spacey was in the news earlier this month when it was reported that the person who bought his $3.2 million mansion says the Oscar-winning actor is refusing to leave.
Former biomedical engineer turned real estate investor Sam Asgari told The Baltimore Banner “right now, he’s refusing to leave. He’s asking for six months to leave the property without paying anything.”
Spacey also sat down for an interview with Piers Morgan earlier this summer in which he broke down in tears over going broke.
NEW: Actor Kevin Spacey starts crying during an interview with Piers Morgan, says he owes millions of dollars in legal fees.
