5. Kevin Spacey

Like in the case with Woody Harelson, Kevin also has the knack for brilliantly portraying mentally deranged psychopath.

His role of an insanely weird and creepy serial killer in a classic called “Se7en” got him an MTV Movie Award for Best Villain and his awesome portrayal of (spoiler ahead) mysterious mafia boss Keyser Söze in “The Usual Suspects” got him an Oscar for Best Actor In Supporting Role, but maybe these parts come naturally for Kevin for a reason.

The actor and his older brother Randall Fowler have long kept a dim secret about their family, but Randall has spilled the beans once and revealed this dark and hidden past about their father. According to Kevin’s brother, their father was an ultra-conservative sadist, a child molester and a Nazi enthusiast.

Randall reportedly says his father even groomed his hair and moustache so he would look like Adolph Hitler, and he was a member of the American Nazi Party. Fowler also revealed that he was a frequent victim of his father’s abuses, physical, mental, but also sexual.

He stated that the only thing that kept him going and kept him from committing suicide was preventing his brother from having the same fate. Spacey, however claims the stories are not true.
