My name is Rodger Koller and this is another episode of Koller News
Without any further ado, let's get started
Kevin Spacey released a bizarre video on his Youtube channel on Christmas' Eve
But before I show you this video, I'll tell you who Kevin Spacey is...
He's a famous actor, he played a character named Frank Underwood
in a series named "House of Cards"
I don't know if you've watched it, but it's an amazing series
I highly recommend that you watch it
Kevin spacey was the main actor of this series. Nevertheless, on November 3rd, 2017
Netflix announced that he had been fired
from the show, because many accused him of sexual harrassment and attempt of rape
Due to these allegations and accusations, Kevin Spacey was killed off from the series and from his other
acting projects
He got unemployed
Many people say that his acting career is dead
because nobody in Hollywood wants to have their names involved with someone
who has been accused of sexual harrassment and rape and
sexual misconduct
In the afternoon on Monday, Spacey released a video
a monologue titled "Let me be Frank"
in which he appeared to respond to the charges
by saying that not all the facts had been presented
In the video he's talking directly to the camera
and he is acting like his character in House of cards, because
Frank Underwood, his character in the series
used to talk directly to the camera
remember, his name is Kevin in real life
and in the series his name is Frank
His video is titled "Let me be frank"
which is a pun related to his character's name
in the series and the adjective "frank'
which means "sincere and honest"
in the video it's not clear if he's defending himself from the sexual allegations
as Kevin Spacey himself or
or if he's just acting and playing his role as Frank Underwood
from the series in which he was killed off
Of course, he did that on purpose in order to confuse everyone
and in order to attract more media and views to his video
and it really worked!
At this moment, his video has more than 9 million views
I'm going to show you a moment of his monologue
You'll notice that everything he says really fits his story in the series
as Frank Underwood
but everything he says also makes sense about his real life
as Kevin Spacey himself
Is he talking about his death in the series?
or about his career as an actor which is apparenty dead?
But you wouldn't believe the worst without evidence, would you?
You wouldn't rush to judgements without facts, would you?
Did you?
No, not you...
You're smarter than that...
Despite everything
Despite even my own death
I feel surprisingly good
and my confidence grows each day that soon enough
you will know the full truth...
But wait a minute
Now that I think of it
You never actually saw me die
Did you?
Conclusions can be so deceiving
Do you miss me?
I'm not sure whether he is guilty or not
but he's indeed a great actor
and that's something we can't deny
Let's open a debate here
in the comment section. I have a question for you
The investigations are still taking place
even after 2 years but Netflix fired him after these sexual misconduct allegations
We know that he was the main character in the series
and it's never good to fire the main character
from a series because it ruins the whole plot
My question is
Was Netflix right to fire Kevin Spacey
after these allegations against him?
Would you have done the same?
Why or why not?
Can we separate the actor from the character?
