Kevin Spacey starred as the main villain in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare in 2014 and delivered a widely praised performance. Later allegations of sexual misconduct damaged Spacey's reputation and reduced his film and television presence. Glen Schofield believes the game itself is not tainted by Spacey's later controversies. Schofield described Spacey as commanding during takes but sometimes difficult off-camera and not always comfortable with video game production logistics. Schofield also revealed that early plans for a sequel included Spacey's character returning despite the character's death in the original game.
In 2014, before allegations of sexual misconduct against him became public, actor Kevin Spacey was one of the biggest names out there thanks to Netflix's House of Cards. And his role in that year's Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare was a highlight. But now, it feels like a problematic relic. However, the game's director, Glen Schofield, doesn't think the shooter is "tainted," even if Spacey was "weird" to work with.
"At the time, that's the actor I wanted," said Schofield. "When he was on set, and we said action, he was unbelievable. He just is a great actor, right? Then when we said cut, you could tell the video games weren't his thing. We had to get him a trailer. So he had a trailer outside that he would go in and he was a little bit more difficult, I would say."
