Well, Spacey’s latest attempt at career revival isn’t any weirder than last year’s House of Cards video
. This time out, the disgraced performer resurfaced in Rome, inviting media to watch a spoken-word performance of Italian poet’s “The Boxer,” a poem about a battered fighter making a comeback, likely in allegory to his own career.
Spacey—making his first public appearance since criminal sexual assault charges from an 18-year-old Nantucket busboy were—stood next to a bronze statue of “Boxer at Rest” to perform the stanzas, emphasizing particular lines like “They used me for their entertainment, fed on shoddy stuff,” and “You couldn't imagine that I would be resuscitated in this metal suit, that I would come back to stare at you.

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.
