Kevin Spacey has once again released a video marking the Christmas holiday as his "House of Cards" character, Frank Underwood in a video posted to his YouTube page Tuesday afternoon.
“You didn’t really think I was going to miss the opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas, did you?” Spacey asks the audience in the one minute video as his "House of Cards" character, Frank Underwood. "It’s been a pretty good year, and I’m grateful to have my health back. And in light of that, I’ve made some changes in my life and I’d like to invite you to join me.”
Spacey's character was killed off in the final season following accusations of sexual misconduct. Those allegations also saw director Ridley Scott pull Spacey out of his 2017 film, "All the Money in the World" and reshot the actor's scenes with Christopher Plummer.
"As we walk into 2020, I want to cast my vote for more good in this world," Spacey says. "Ah yes, I know what you’re thinking. Can he be serious? I’m dead serious. And it’s not that hard, trust me. The next time someone does something you don’t like, you can go on the attack. But you can also hold your fire and do the unexpected. You can kill them with kindness."
The video is a rare public appearance for the actor, who was sued last year for sexual battery by a massuer who alleged the "House of Cards" actor groped him while he was giving Spacey a massage in 2016. The plaintiff in the case died in September, but the therapist's estate has continued to pursue the lawsuit against Spacey.
Spacey posted a similar video last year in which he appeared to address the allegations of sexual misconduct against him.
"Of course, some believed everything and have just been waiting with bated breath to hear me confess at all," the actor said as Underwood. "They’re just dying to have me declare everything said is true and I got what I deserved. Wouldn’t that be easy? If it was all so simple."
