He's been recently named something to do with the Old Vic. Is it artistic director? -- Zoe

Thanks for the tip. After a quick search of recent news stories, I found enough to write a paragraph about his appointment as artistic director. -- Islandboy99

Sexuality

The article asserted he was a homosexual despite his public claims to the opposite. I changed the language to reflect that. If someone has "proof" that is openly gay, then go ahead and change it back. --Feitclub 20:18, Nov 7, 2004 (UTC)

The article still asserts that he is a homosexual. The change in language only acknowledged the fact that in public Mr. Spacey claims to be heterosexual while in truth being homosexual while around friends and coworkers. If that is true then the article needs to be changed to say that there is suspicion to his being gay, but not proof. It's all in where you put your allegedly. Wjw 06:45, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I think that unattribtuted, tangential speculations should be removed, regardless of their context. --Viriditas | Talk 01:58, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

NPOV

I think this should be removed as too general and certainly POV: is arguably one of the greatest American actors of his generation. If that claim can be associated with a specific person, like a critic, writer, or film professional, that would be great. Otherwise, it should be removed as POV. Also the awards should be moved to an awards section. And his birthplace information (South Orange, New Jersey) should be moved to an Early life section. It's best if we NPOV the introduction so it reads as follows:

Kevin Spacey Fowler (born July 26, 1959) is an American actor

What do you folks think? --Viriditas | Talk 01:49, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
