Hardly, I seriously doubt it, but it’s an interesting story none the less. It appears, according to the BBC and also IMDB, that Kevin Spacey is so taken with returning to singing on stage that he’s not only going on tour with the band and performing songs from the film Beyond the Sea as Bobby Darin, but he would consider moving back to the career full time if the tour goes well.
“My background was on stage and in musicals so it’s a case of going back to my roots,” says the Oscar-winning actor.
In case you think it’s all just hot air, Spacey and The John Wilson Orchestra are already taking their show on the road for a US tour. “If this all goes well – the tour and the movie – I have a good mind to jack in all the acting things and just live the life of a singer-songwriter. Sounds good, right? Well, you’ll just have to wait and see.”
I’m not sure, Spacey always seems to be having so much fun when you see him acting, and with such good roles on offer why would he give it up? I saw him sing live on a BBC chat show, and I have to say I was really impressed, and he does have the talent for singing as well as acting. Still, I’d hate to loose him from the big screen.
