Appearing on Publicly Funded PBS, Kevin Spacey Brags He Ran Theatre with...No Public Funding

Actor Kevin Spacey came on PBS's Charlie Rose show to promote his Netflix series House of Cards and talk about his success at running Britain's Old Vic Theatre and in the process taught Rose a valuable economics lesson.

On the August 19, 2013 show, aired on the publicly funded PBS, the Academy Award winning actor told Rose that his time as artistic director of the Old Vic proved: "You can run a major British institution for 10 years without any public subsidy. We get no public subsidy."
