Actor, musical or comedy for his portrayal of disgraced Washington D.C. lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who was convicted of corruption during the Bush administration. Spacey was beaming as he walked on the set to greet Kimmel and seemed genuinely at ease while talking to the host during the segment, he said the movie portrays how “money, power and influence dampen our political system”.

Spacey recalled visiting Abramoff in prison prior to making the film and found him “surprisingly charming and funny,” Apparently Abramoff is good at impressions, so Kimmel asked Spacey to do one, Spacey responded with one he has been working on recently, Morgan Freeman.

Spacey also talked about his recent shooting of the film Inseperable in China, where he is virtually unknown due to strict Chinese censorship which has prevented any of his previous films to be shown in that country; Spacey is the first western actor that has ever starred in a fully financed Chinese film. When asked about his recent “Knighthood” from Prince Charles as Commander of the Order of the British Empire (for his successful work as artistic director of the prestigious Old Vic Theater in London), where he has been residing since 2003, Spacey jokingly noted how the title has earned him the nickname of ‘Commander K’ amongst his friends. Spacey acknowledged he misses New York but said, “I love being where I am because I love what I am doing”
