When the film about Jean Paul Getty was announced, in 2017, I was interested as he was a very fascinating figure and when Kevin Spacey was announced to play the role, again I was interested, but obviously after all that has been alleged about him, he isn’t in the film. He Was replaced by Christopher Plummer, an actor I am not familiar with, I have read reviews of the film, saying the transition looks odd and that Spacey would have played the role better.or that his ghost is around the film as a reviewer said. I have heard of several Spacey films but never seen any, I just know him from House Of Cards, an excellent shoe and really, I was only interested in it because of his character of Frank. Was Spacey a good actor? Would he have been better as Getty than Plummer? Though Christopher Plummer has been nominated for an Oscar for it.
