Stars like Liam Neeson and Sharon Stone are hoping to see Kevin Spacey make a comeback to Hollywood. Several years ago, Spacey was removed from Netflix's House of Cards due to allegations of sexual misconduct.

Speaking to the UK's Telegraph newspaper, Neeson, who is 71 years old, expressed his support for Spacey. He described Spacey as a good man with strong character, and praised him as one of the finest artists in theater and on camera. Neeson personally believes that the industry is in need of Spacey's talent and misses him greatly.

The documentary, Spacey Unmasked, aired on Channel 4 in the U.K. on May 6, revealing new allegations of inappropriate behavior made against Spacey by 10 more men.

In response to these accusations, Neeson expressed his deep sadness. He stated to the Telegraph, "I was deeply saddened to learn of these accusations against him."

Kevin Spacey, who is 64 years old, was acquitted of all charges in a sexual assault trial in the U.K. last July. Prior to that, he was also found not responsible in a sexual abuse lawsuit brought against him by actor Anthony Rapp. Rapp had claimed in a $40 million civil case that Spacey assaulted him in 1986 when Rapp was only 14 years old.

Sharon Stone, aged 66, expressed her excitement about Kevin Spacey returning to work. She described him as a genius, elegant, fun, and extremely knowledgeable about their craft. She added that he is also very generous and knows more about acting than most people ever will.

F. Murray Abraham, who is also an actor on Homeland, expressed his support for Spacey by stating, "I vouch for him unequivocally. Who are these vultures who attack a man who has publicly accepted his responsibility for certain behavior, unlike so many others?"

The actor expressed his support for Kevin Spacey, saying "He is a fine man, I stand with him, and let he who is without sin cast the first stone."

Spacey faced allegations of sexual misconduct and was fired from House of Cards in November 2017. He was also removed from the Ridley Scott movie All the Money in the World, with his scenes being reshot with Christopher Plummer taking over his role as J. Paul Getty.

The article also mentions that Spacey has been acquitted of all charges in a sexual assault trial and found not responsible in a sexual abuse lawsuit.
