Spacey's Luthor ain't Lay
I'm not understanding Kevin Spacey's declaration that he based his Lex Luthor portrayal in Superman Returns on convicted Enron ogre Kenneth Lay. Read any of Lay's statements during the Enron trial or watch him in Alex Gibney's Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room and it's all who-me? and equivocations and various modes of shoulder-shrugging. There's no rage in the man...nothing but a calculated front. Spacey's Luthor is nothing at all like Lay. If you ask me, he seems to have based his performance on John McEnroe.

And Kenneth Lay based his performance on Calvin Trillin, who based his on Dick Enberg.

He was namedropping...idiotically, apparently.
It's my understanding this type of thing goes on in the entertainment industry.

I can see it now -- Spacey's Lex is finalizing his latest scheme for world domination, Superman returns, and Spacey turns to Posey, hands on hips, and barks, "You have got to be kidding me!"

Unlike Ken, Lex actually recognizes when he's wrong.

Maybe Spacey slipped up and really meant Jeffrey Skilling? Jeff was definitely a rageaholic, quoted as calling people a**holes, loved danger sports...and he was balding.
