Posted in: Uncategorized
Welcome to Ad Age’s Wake-Up Call, our daily roundup of advertising, marketing, media and digital-related news. What people are talking about today: Actor Anthony Rapp (“Star Trek: Discovery”) says “House of Cards” star Kevin Spacey made a sexual advance on him decades ago, when Rapp was 14 years old, BuzzFeed reports. On Twitter, Spacey said he didn’t remember the episode, but if it did happen, he owes Rapp “the sincerest apology.” In the same message, Spacey then came out as gay.
Spacey’s response was promptly and widely slammed.
Spacey has been the star of political drama “House of Cards” for five seasons; shooting for the sixth season reportedly was due to begin this month. Where do Netflix and “House of Cards” go from here?
