Kevin Spacey was born in 1959 in New Jersey. A naughty child - he set his sister's tree house on fire and was sent to military academy only to be thrown out of that - he joined the drama course at Julliard on the advice of former classmate Val Kilmer. Quitting after two years to perform in the New York Shakespeare Festival, he was on Broadway within a year and by 1986 had made his movie debut playing a thief in Heartburn. After the indignity of See No Evil, Hear no Evil he had to wait six years for his Oscar-winning turn as Verbal Kint in The Usual Suspects, following this soon after with a second gong for his take on middle class America gone wrong in American Beauty (1999).
