00:00 Liam Neeson and Sharon Stone are among those expressing support for Kevin Spacey,
00:04 this coming on the heels of newly surfaced allegations against the actor
00:08 in the recent Spacey Unmasked documentary.
00:10 Spacey has not worked in Hollywood since several men accused him of sexual misconduct
00:16 beginning in 2017. This month, 10 more men came forward with alleged abuse
00:21 in a two-part Channel 4 documentary. Neeson, alongside Stone, F. Murray Abraham and Stephen
00:27 Fry spoke with The Telegraph with Neeson saying that he was deeply saddened to learn of new
00:31 accusations against the House of Cards actor, saying "Kevin is a good man and a man of character."
00:36 Meanwhile, Stone noted, "I can't wait to see Kevin back at work. He's a genius. He is so elegant and
00:41 fun, generous to a fault, and knows more about our craft than most of us ever will." She added,
00:47 "It's terrible that they are blaming him for not being able to come to terms with themselves,
00:50 for using him and negotiating with themselves because they didn't get their secret agendas."
00:55 Abraham said he would vouch for Spacey unequivocally, adding, "Who are these
00:59 vultures who attack a man who has publicly accepted his responsibility for a certain
01:03 behavior, unlike so many others? He is a fine man. I stand with him. And let he who is without sin
01:08 cast the first stone." Fry criticized the documentary, saying, "To continue to harass
01:13 and hound Spacey, to devote a whole documentary to accusations that simply do not add up to crimes,
01:19 how can that be considered proportionate and justified?" Elsewhere, on Thursday,
01:23 Spacey marked his first television appearance in years, speaking to Chris Cuomo in a News Nation
01:28 interview. During the sit-down, Spacey said he is so much happier today, living a more authentic
01:33 and open life. "Now I want to prove that I'm a man of great character. I look forward to being
01:37 able to prove to people that I am the merit of who I am as a human being." For more on this story,
