Kevin Spacey

Kevin Spacey (born 1959) is an American actor and film producer. He won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for The Usual Suspects (1995) and Best Actor for American Beauty (1999), and is also known for Se7en (1995), L.A. Confidential (1997), and for playing Frank Underwood in Netflix’s House of Cards (2013–2017). He served as artistic director of London’s Old Vic theatre from 2004 to 2015.

Spacey is connected to the Epstein records through a 2002 trip. The flight records document that, on a high-profile trip in 2002, Clinton flew aboard Epstein’s jet to Africa, along with actors Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker, to visit HIV/AIDS project sites. The Mirror US, citing the flight records, reports a logged segment on August 21, 2002, from John F. Kennedy International Airport to Santa Maria Airport in the Portuguese Azores carrying Clinton, Spacey, and Tucker. The Mirror US notes it is unclear whether the broader trip Spacey has described directly corresponds to that specific logged flight.

Spacey has addressed the trip publicly, saying he later learned that the aircraft used for the humanitarian mission was owned by Epstein. As quoted by The Mirror US, Spacey said, “I have since learned who he [Epstein] is and I have since been able to go back and find out that the airplane that we flew on for this humanitarian mission was owned by Jeffrey Epstein.”

Is Kevin Spacey in the Epstein files?

Yes. Kevin Spacey is named in the Epstein flight records as a passenger on a 2002 trip aboard a plane owned by Jeffrey Epstein that also carried former president Bill Clinton, on what has been described as a humanitarian mission focused on HIV/AIDS. Spacey has said he was invited by Clinton and only afterward learned the aircraft belonged to Epstein. Being named in these records is not evidence of any crime or wrongdoing, and the sourced reporting does not allege criminal conduct by Spacey in connection with the trip. See the sources below for the documented context.
