Kevin Spacey was born in South Orange, New Jersey to Thomas Geoffrey Fowler, a technical writer, and Kathleen Spacey, a personal secretary; he has two older siblings, a sister and a brother, Randy. Kevin's father, who has been alleged by Fox News to have been a member of the American Nazi Party, was often unemployed, causing the family to move frequently, eventually settling in Southern California in 1963. Spacey attended Northridge Military Academy, but was asked to leave, and subsequently attended Chatsworth High School, a school that was renowned for its drama department, in Chatsworth, California. In the twelfth grade, he starred in the school's senior production of The Sound of Music, playing the part of Captain Georg von Trapp, opposite Maria (played by Mare Winningham). While in high school, he took his mother's maiden name, "Spacey" (originally a Welsh name, belonging to his great-great-grandfather, spelled "Spacy"), as his acting surname. Several reports have incorrectly suggested that he took the name in tribute to actor Spencer Tracy, combining Tracy's first and last names.

Kevin Spacey directs and stars in his dream project, Beyond the Sea, the biography of singer Bobby Darin. A fan of Darren since his mother drilled the music into his head as a child, Spacey struggled for over a decade to put the project together. Even when production began, things looked uncertain. Spacey thanked his crew for sticking by him in the toughest times.

Junod is playing a fairly high-stakes game of hide-and-seek: Even if he doesn't care about whether Spacey really is gay, lots of people do. And the truth is that although both Junod and Esquire editor Granger have vehemently denied that the profile makes Spacey's sexuality "an issue," without the metaphor of the closet the piece would have no juice. In that sense, even if the piece doesn't out Spacey, its effectiveness arises from the possibility that it will, and that doing so would make a difference to Spacey's career. There are, after all, still no major leading men in Hollywood who are out, nor are there even openly gay actors who regularly play straight characters. In that sense, there may be more at stake here than simply some ideal of nondisclosure.
