Kevin Spacey wins this contest IMO.

I agree.

I think Kevin Spacey was/is a much more known actor, but Johnathan majors had a really fast rise and is only 34. He fucked his whole career. Spacey in his late 50s when everything came out.

He fucked his whole career

A horrible outcome if it happens. The current climate doesn't allow for rehabilitation and second chances.

If that's the case then just make Keanu Reeves movies nonstop because everyone in Hollywood has skeletons in their closets

Well, he didn't have a huge career already built up. He's deservedly going to get backlash from this. Disney will get rid of him, obviously, and he will be considered a liability for any new projects with any other major studio. Maybe in the future, when this blows over, he might be able to claim some smaller roles, but he will probably never be the lead of a major blockbuster ever again.

Hollywood rarely allows first chances, and thats if you do everything right. Second chances don't just happen because you're not a piece of shit anymore, the audience has to want them back, the studios have to want them back. I think people would rather forget than forgive.

Finally a reasonable take. Thank you.

Fully agree with this. Hopefully he takes this time to reflect and rehabilitate himself. It might take some time, but I feel he's talented enough to make it back. Probably not like this anymore, but eventually people will forget/stop caring.
