Kevin Spacey is one of those underrated actors. He is clearly one of the best actors in Hollywood but definitely not getting big enough projects to showcase his talent except of course The Usual Suspects and Pay It Forward. However, there are sectors who believe that the Oscar-winning actor is worth more so they are giving him the National Pell Award for Distinguished Achievement in the Artist. The award is made in honor of former Rhode Island senator Claiborne Pell who died in January.
Kevin Spacey was selected by the Trinity Repertory company not only for his humanitarian work but because of his dedication to live theater and film. Senator Pell showed his dedication to arts and education during his 36-years stay in the Senate. Previous recipients of the Award are Robert Redford, novelist Toni Morrison and playwright Arthur Miller. Kevin Spacey, who is confident about art thriving even during a recession, said arts and culture are a necessity in life so people will go to theater to enjoy themselves despite the crisis.
