As fun as it would have been to have Jean-Luc Picard as a prof, it will be way cooler to have Keyser Söze skill up your acting knowledges at Oxford, no?

Kevin Spacey is about to get schooled.

The Oscar-winning actor has accepted a position as visiting theater professor at Oxford University, succeeding Patrick Stewart when the prestigious institution's new academic term kicks off in October.

As part of his yearlong tenure as the Cameron Mackintosh Visiting Professor of Contemporary Theater at Oxford's St. Catherine's College, Spacey will be required to give at least one lecture, one workshop or one seminar per term.

Excellent! St. Catherine's College is about 50 yards from the department I work in. I might run into him!


I heard he was here as a visiting prof but this is the first I've heard of it since.

This is the news piece on the Oxford site, and on the St. Cat's site.
