Kevin Spacey remained composed Tuesday during cross examination at a civil trial, repeatedly rejecting suggestions that he wasn't telling the truth when he denied an actor’s claims that he made a sexual advance on him when he was 14 in the 1980s.

Spacey is accused of making unwanted sexual advances in 1986 against Anthony Rapp when Rapp was 14-years old. Rapp, who is an actor on “Star Trek: Discovery” and appeared in the original Broadway production of “Rent,” is suing Spacey for $40 million in damages.

Rapp says a “drunk, swaying” Spacey swept him up like a groom “carrying a bride over a threshold” and laid him on a bed, pinning him and forcing him to escape by squirming away.Rapp’s friend, in his late teens the time, had said in his own deposition that the night in question began backstage after Spacey’s performance, moved to a nightclub, and ended at an afterparty at Spacey’s Manhattan apartment, where the friend says he was also sexually propositioned by the older actor.
