I’m a huge Kevin Spacey fan. Here he is as a teen…

Long before Kevin Spacey became House of Cards’ Frank Underwood or even L.A. Confidential’s Jack Vincennes, the wannabe actor auditioned for another all-important role: Tiger Beat magazine teen idol. Jimmy Kimmel showed footage of Spacey at a cattle call alongside other ’70s dudes (the hair! the tops!). “I was auditioning for everything during this time,” Spacey said, explaining he had just dropped out of high school. “Did I get in Tiger Beat magazine? No, I don’t think so. I looked like Humphrey Bogart.” But that wasn’t the only strange gig he went for.
