Sharon Stone, Liam Neeson and Stephen Fry call for Kevin Spacey acting return

Spacey Unmasked, which was broadcast earlier this month, featured testimony from several men.

The two-time Oscar winner denied allegations of inappropriate behaviour that featured in the documentary.

“I take full responsibility for my past behaviour and my actions.

“But I cannot and will not take responsibility or apologise to anyone who’s made up stuff about me or exaggerated stories about me,” Spacey told Dan Wootton in an interview.

Actress Stone told the newspaper: “I can’t wait to see Kevin back at work.

“He is a genius. He is so elegant and fun, generous to a fault and knows more about our craft than most of us ever will.”

Writer, actor and presenter Stephen Fry also offered his support, saying the star has often been “clumsy and inappropriate”, but to “devote a whole documentary to accusations that simply do not add up to crimes… how can that be considered proportionate and justified?”

Fry said Spacey’s reputation was “wrecked”, adding: “Surely it is wrong to continue to batter a reputation on the strength of assertion and rhetoric rather than evidence and proof? Unless I’m missing something, I think he has paid the price.”

This was also reflected by Liam Neeson, with the actor writing: “Kevin is a good man and a man of character. Personally speaking, our industry needs him and misses him greatly.”
