Yeah I favor pay equality. Really. Oh hell no.

Today at the Worldwide Headquarters of Manhattan Infidel™ I have the pleasure of interviewing Academy Award  and Golden Globe winning actor Kevin Spacey, who currently stars in the acclaimed Netflix series, House of Cards.

MI:  Good afternoon Mr. Spacey.  I don’t believe we’ve ever had such a distinguished award winning actor grace our pages before.

KS: Why thank you Manhattan Infidel. You’re very kind.

MI: Where to begin. You’ve been so successful in your career.

KS: Well I’ve been very, very lucky. That is true.

MI: And now you are starring in the critical favorite, House of Cards.  Tell me a little about that show.

KS: I play a character named Frank Underwood, a representative from South Carolina who is the House Majority whip. He’s ruthless and will do anything to seek power. My character is a manipulative, cunning, Machiavellian psychopath.

MI: So you’re the star of the show?

KS: Yes, I am the star.

MI: So you receive top billing?

KS: Yes, I receive top billing, but top billing is not important. What’s important is the opportunity to work with such distinguished and talented actors as my co-star Robin Wright.

MI: Robin Wright. Let’s talk about her. She recently got a pay raise and now makes as much as you, the star of the show. She went to the producers and said that her character was more popular than yours and that she deserved to make as much money as you or she’d go public. The producers relented and gave her the raise. How does that make you, the star of the show, feel.

[pause]

MI: Mr. Spacey?

[pause]

KS: I couldn’t be happier for her.  I support pay equality. It’s a question of civil rights.

MI: Really?

[pause]

KS: Yes. That’s what I said.

MI: Really?

KS:  Yes.

MI: So you, the star of the show who gets top billing are totally comfortable with those who receive lesser billing getting the same pay you do?

[pause]

MI: Mr. Spacey?

KS: F*cking bitch! 

MI: What?

KS:  That f*cking bitch!  I’m the f*cking star. I get the most money. Not her!  She’s not the star! The star gets the most pay! 

MI: But…..but what about pay equality? It’s a question of civil rights for women. You said so yourself.

KS:  Oh f*ck pay equality.

MI: Okay. Well, I guess that’s all the time we have.

KS: F*ck pay equality!

MI: I heard you the first time.

KS: F*ck it. I”m picking up some hookers. I don’t even care if they are underage. I’m still the star. That ought to be worth something!

Hollywood. When it comes to civil rights they put their money where their mouth is.
