Kevin Spacey, the Academy Award winning actor is considered as one of the top performers in modern day cinema. The ‘American Beauty‘ actor has millions of fans in all corners of the world, and this is mainly due to the realistic way of acting he used to follow while portraying characters. The recent news about Kevin Spacey is regarding the special Olivier Award he is going to receive.

The actor has completed his 11 year tenure at the Old Vic, and the selection of Kevin Spacey to receive the Special Award can be considered as a farewell gift from the London Theater Community. The Olivier Awards which is touted to be Britain’s equivalent to the Tony’s will take place on April 12th 2015 at the London’s Royal Opera House.

Spacey’s leadership was quite remarkable in bringing back the lost glory of Old Vic in the London Theater landscape. “The Society of London Theater is delighted to formally acknowledge Kevin Spacey’s outstanding contribution to The Old Vic. In general his advocacy of London theater has been a constant boon, and many of us will miss him as a valued colleague”, said Caro Newling, SOLT President.
