00:20Organizers of the event noted that the Oscar-winning actor, who faces a new civil trial in the

00:29his career back.

00:34misconduct against him.
00:36Spacey has always denied all criminal charges and was found not guilty in sexual assault
00:40trials in the U.S., but still faces a civil trial in Britain.

00:49shown a new light on other alleged abuse.

01:06his big-screen comeback with a role in the Italian feature The Man Who Drew God, directed
