Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey has been keeping a low profile since a string of sexual misconduct accusations brought derailed his stellar career in 2017.
The actor will be back in the headlines over the coming week, however, with a court hearing in London, followed by an honorary awards event in Italy, where he will make his first voluntary public appearance in five years.
London’s Southwark Crown Court has confirmed that a second hearing related to seven sexual assault charges brought by a single male complainant, will take place on January 13 as previously announced.
The court told Deadline on Wednesday that Spacey will not be attending in person but rather by live video-link, as was the case for the first hearing related to the case on December 16.
Three days later, Spacey is set to be honored at a special event organized by Italy’s National Cinema Museum in the northern city of Turin on Monday, January 16.
The two-time Academy Award winner will give a public masterclass, moderated by the museum’s director Domenico De Gaetano and then receive the institution’s Stella della Mole Award for lifetime achievement.
The museum says the actor has been collaborating closely on the key elements of the masterclass and that the public event sold out within five minutes of the tickets going online.
Named after Turin’s Mole Antonelliana architectural landmark which houses the cinema museum, previous recipients of the Stella della Mole Award include actors Isabella Rossellini, Monica Bellucci, and Malcolm McDowell, as well as directors Xavier Dolan and Dario Argento.
Spacey will then present a special screening of Sam Mendes’ American Beauty, for which he won the Best Actor Oscar in 2000.

He used that cachet for this week’s likable dramedy “Shrinking,” a show that almost brazenly sets up character archetypes and then asks its cast to push through the clichés of their shallow descriptions.
My guest this week is Jason Segel.
What’s Charlie Kaufman been up to since he made “I’m Thinking Of Ending Things” for Netflix in 2020? Shooting a short film in secret, it seems, on a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.

An excerpt from the late Anne Heche’s posthumous memoir has arrived, and boy is it telling of ’90s mindsets…
You might not think that a TV series about a therapist struggling with the death of his wife and a career listening to other people talk about their issues would be a comedy from the co-creator of “Ted Lasso.” And yet, “Shrinking” does appear to be another Bill Lawrence-produced, feel-good comedy, coming to Apple TV+ later this month. As mentioned, in the trailer for “Shrinking,” we see the series follows the story of a grieving therapist (Jason Segel), as he struggles to come to terms with his wife’s sudden passing, while also raising a young daughter and trying to balance a career.
