Kevin Spacey Does a Round Up of His Greatest Roles in New Renault Espace Ad

You might think of Netflix’ original House of Cards series when you say Kevin Spacey, since he did win a Golden Globe Award for it. But what people seem to forget is that the 55-year-old Hollywood star has been around for a long time. Some people forget but not Renault, who figured using one of the actor’s most popular roles in their new commercial is the best way to promote their luxury mid-sized crossover.

Currently in its fifth year, the MPV has recently made its promo appearance in France through this one minute clip. It’s Renault's idea of relaunching the Espace, and we like it. Not the car necessarily, but the commercial, namely the actor. I, myself, tend to disagree with a premium MPV that packs a 1.6-liter engine, but that’s just a personal opinion of course.

Watching the clip will remind you of some of Spacey’s greatest roles, such as in American Beauty, The Usual Suspects and the ongoing House of Cards.

Matthew McConaughey did something similar and his fingers gesture turned into a prank renown comedians would later mock. However, the Interstellar star’s part did help the Lincoln MKC sales increase significantly, and we’re pretty sure it’s going to be similar with Renault.

If you ask us, we specifically liked the clever way people directing the new commercial subtly pointed that some actors can become something they are not. Some are that good at it, the surrounding world revolves around them. Meanwhile, however, their real inner selves sets free only when they are free, on the road, simply driving.

Let's face it, this is the perfect runaway we all feel the need for sometimes.
