Kevin Spacey said in a recent interview with GQ that he’s so eager to get cast in a Woody Allen film that he took matters into his own hands.
Spacy said he sent the famed writer and director a Netflix subscription so he could familiarize himself with the actor’s series House of Cards.
The actor, who has been named GQ’s Power Broker of 2013, explained "I wrote him a letter and introduced myself as an actor he may or may not know. And I sent him a Netflix subscription, because I want him to watch my work."
"I believe this: If an actor wants a role or wants to work with somebody, then you do everything within reason to try to get that role,” he said. “If they want you to audition, you audition. If they want you to screen-test, you screen-test. If they want you to come and tap-dance in their hallway, you tap-dance in their hallway."

He continued on to say that he did get a response from Allen, in the form of "an absolutely wonderful letter” that let him know "in contention for things in the future,” MSN reports.
Spacey was so pleased with this that he said, "I may write to Martin Scorsese next."
