The media was reportedly notified in advance of the appearance to enhance the opportunity. The actor spoke to a small crowd while standing near a bronze statue of a battered fighter, reciting Italian poet Gabriele Tinti’s “The Boxer” in English.
The poem is a reflection on a worn-out and lonely boxer who is cast aside despite previous glory. It follows a viral video circulated earlier this year featuring Spacey cooking and in character as hisprotagonist Frank Underwood, using his acting skills to ask the audience to consider a different side of his legal situation.“They used me for their entertainment, fed on shoddy stuff. Life was over in a moment,” said Spacey in reciting the poem at the museum.
“I shook the country, made the arenas vibrate, tore my opponents to shreds. I lit up the darkness, collected insults, compelled applause. Not everyone knew how to do this. None of you. On the other hand, life is not frightening for those who have never taken a risk.” Spacey is still under investigation for alleged sexual misconduct in London and Los Angeles.

Roommate Protective Services Rescues Helpless 22-Year-Old From Squalid ApartmentBROOKLYN, NY—Calling the man’s living conditions “utterly deplorable,” officials from Roommate Protective Services confirmed today that they removed local Kevin Spyra this morning from a two-bedroom apartment filled with overflowing garbage bins, piles of unwashed dishes, and a refrigerator full of rotting food. “The squalid state of the apartment was extremely hazardous to the health and well-being of Kevin, and we had to get him out of there,” local RPS officer Jim McCarthy said of the at-risk 22-year-old, adding that Spyra’s negligent roommate Ben Stern, 23, had created an unsafe environment in which Kevin was constantly exposed to piles of foul-smelling dirty clothes, the stench of unwashed bath towels, Incubus blaring at 3 a.m., and scattered mugs with used tea bags crusted onto them. “We got a tip from a neighbor who said that she overheard Ben shouting at Kevin after Kevin politely asked when Ben would pay his share of the cable bill. It’s tragic when you find a helpless 22-year-old roommate living like this.” McCarthy went on to say that Spyra has been taken into protective custody, and that the most important thing now is to find him a healthy shared living situation with a roommate who isn’t a complete dick.
