In 2005, he predicted the Kevin Spacey allegations. Rent star Anthony Rapp has accused the House of Cards actor of molesting him when he was only 14 years old. And in this ’05 episode of Family Guy, we see the baby, Stewie, running from Kevin Spacey, yelling, “Help! I’ve escaped from Kevin Spacey’s basement!”
