OK, we’re all thinking it, right?
After multiple accusations of extreme predatory behavior and sexual assault against underage boys, Kevin Spacey is being ostracized from Hollywood.

He’s been fired from House Of Cards, he’s even being replaced in his upcoming film! Movie magic.
So when Bryan Cranston was asked about Spacey’s scandal by the BBC‘s Newsbeat, he had no trouble saying:
“He’s a phenomenal actor, but he’s not a very good person. His career now I think is over.”
We think so, too.
Cranston, who is starring on the London stage in Network, says he never experienced or witnessed any misconduct by Spacey or anyone else, but he’s heard about it.
And he thinks it’s “beyond disgusting”:
“There’s a disorder among all those people who use their power, their place or their status in any industry to overpower someone and force someone to do something that they don’t want to do.
It’s beyond disgusting. It’s almost animalistic. It’s a form of bullying. It’s a form of control. It’s almost always [done to] young vulnerable men and women who are starting their career. That sort of experience goes unchecked until something like this happens.”
Now though, Cranston is optimistic the spotlight is cleaning up the mess. He says:
“The pillars of what was are falling. Everything is being exposed.”
We certainly hope so.
And not just in Hollywood, but EVERYWHERE.
