10 Actors Who Got Fired From Roles Of A Life Time
1. Kevin Spacey - Frank Underwood - House Of Cards
By the time Kevin Spacey appeared in House of Cards, he was already considered one of the greatest actors in cinema. Despite his many notable cinematic achievements though, his iconic role as Frank Underwood came to be his most defining.
Initially expected to go down as one of the best performances in small screen history, House of Cards will now forever be associated with the actor's full fall from grace. The highly publicised sexual assault allegation Spacey was accused of by actor Anthony Rapp resulted in his firing and his character being written out of the show. As a horde more allegations were levelled at Spacey, the industry was forced to reckon with actor's position within it.
In one of the most bizarre twists of the entire affair, Spacey then appeared in a series of videos as Frank Underwood, seemingly addressing the allegations via some truly creepy and cryptic monologues.
