We’ve always thought that Kevin Spacey was a bit of a hero but his latest move just proves it.
The House Of Cards actor was performing one-man show Clarence Darrow at the Old Vic in London this week when an audience member’s phone started to ring. As Spacey’s character delivered an impassioned plea of innocence, the phone continued to ring and the actor eventually shouted, without breaking character, ‘If you don’t answer that, I will!’.
He received a round of applause for responding to the intrusion, with audience members later taking to Twitter to praise his actions.
Mobile phone went off in Old Vic’s Clarence Darrow tonight. Without breaking character Kevin Spacey said: “Either you answer that or I will”

Good to know if you’re an idiot & let your phone ring during a show, the magnificent Kevin Spacey will call you out on it.
