In 1989 a young(er) Kevin Spacey played a heavy in a so-so Richard Pryor-Gene Wilder comedy called “See No Evil, Hear No Evil.” During the entire movie Spacey had a rather larger lump (wart? boil? cyst?) protruding from his left cheek. As he was never seen with such a disfigurement before or after, my friend (devoted Kevin fan that she is) and I were wondering what the deal was with his face. Was it makeup or a natural occurrence? And why didn’t the bump get its own screen credit? ---

I noticed this myself during _Working Girl_. He briefly plays a business man who climbs into the back of a limo with Melanie Griffith and starts partyin’ and tries to grope her. I noticed the same strange mole / abrasion on his face. I imagine he had it removed to get better roles, like Mel Profit. ---

Heh, this is embarrassing but there’s a site I like called [skinema.com](http://skinema.com) where this dermatologist pretty much tells you what’s wrong with every movie star’s skin. The author of the site reports it as a cyst that was eventally drained. EW. ---

For example, what’s their source for this info? I’d like a second source for this info. 🙂 ---
