Actor Anthony Rapp has begun testifying at a trial resulting from his lawsuit alleging that Kevin Spacey attacked him with sexual intent when he was 14.
He's also known for his role in the 1999 film "American Beauty," which won him an Academy Award.
During opening statements Thursday, Rapp's lawyers told the Manhattan federal court jury that they will prove that Spacey picked up Rapp, placed him on a bed in his apartment and climbed on top of him before Rapp wriggled away and fled the apartment. At the time, Spacey was 26. Holtzman said Spacey didn't say anything when he entered the office in a windbreaker, "tight blue jeans," and carrying a leather shoulder bag, but he recalled knowing him because he'd seen his picture in the program for a play, "Henry IV," in which Spacey was performing at the time.
