A school counselor suggested drama as an alternative to Kevin Spacey's hellion conduct. Two Oscars and a Tony have since secured his place on Hollywood's A-list. He's won acclaim for his TV performances and, since '03, has been artistic director of London's Old Vic Theatre Company, where he occasionally performs and directs. He also launched Triggerstreet.com, which helps people get their ideas to Hollywood decision-makers. Spacey is the recipient of the '09 National Pell Award for Distinguished Achievement in the Arts.
