Kevin Spacey Seen On U.S. Movie Set For First Time Since Numerous Sexual Assault Allegations & Lawsuits Tanked His Career

Kevin Spacey was just spotted filming a movie on United States soil for the first time since an onslaught of sexual assault allegations and lawsuits derailed his career.
The 62-year-old embattled actor was photographed in Dunsmuir, California, last week for his upcoming film, Peter Five Eight.
Little is known about the indie production, except for the fact that it stars both Spacey and Jet Jandreau, and is directed and written by Michael Zaiko Hall, who worked on visual effects for the animated films, Cars 3 and Incredibles 2.
Spacey has reportedly been hard at work in the small northern California town, with sources saying he's been filming 'round the clock.
Despite the summer heat, he was seen wearing a black long-sleeved shirt, black pants and black sneakers while smiling and lighting up a cigarette on the set of his second film (his first filmed domestically) since numerous sexual misconduct allegations against him came to light in 2017.
Since then, more than 20 men have accused the former House of Cards star of sexually abusing them between 1995 and 2013.
He has continued to deny any and all wrongdoing.
This past May, Spacey booked his first movie role since the scandal erupted, but he had to go all the way to Europe to film it.
Despite the mountain of claims against the actor, he managed to land the lead in an Italian movie called L'uomo Che Disegno Dio by famed Italian actor-turned-director, Franco Nero. The movie's title translates to The Man Who Drew God.
Though Spacey himself never publicly commented on the role, Nero told ABC News at the time that he was "very happy Kevin agreed to participate in my film. I consider him a great actor and I can't wait to start the movie."
