What makes Spacey over the 'Moon'

Kevin Spacey may be an Academy Award winner who is now starring as Jim Tyrone in Broadway's 'A Moon For The Misbegotten,' which opened Monday night at The Brooks Atkinson Theater in Gotham. But who knew the guy loved ping-pong? Spacey elaborated on his ping-pong passion in a recent Newsweek interview with Ramin Setoodeh.

"Ping-Pong is one of the greatest games ever! I'm a Ping-Pong nut."

Do you have time to play?
"Constantly. I have a Ping-Pong table in my apartment in London. I love Ping-Pong."

Do you play alone?
"No, no. I've got friends to play."

They come over just to play Ping-Pong?
"Well, not just to play Ping-Pong. I have tournaments. Whenever I'm on location, that's the one thing I always want, a Ping-Pong table. Here's my point. Why is Ping-Pong so much fun? It doesn't matter the rules are the same, it's always a different game. That's what doing a play is like."

What a fun guy. Just don't ask him about America Idol. Find out why.
