Since Stargate, James Spader has been in Crash, Two Days in the Valley, and Critical Care. However, it was a successful film, and it allowed him to have a new start and forget the unfortunate films like Jack’s Back and Dream Lover (although if you want a cheesy, erotic thriller with male and female nudity, I would definitely recommend Dream Lover). Unfortunately, the Spader fame was gone, and Kurt Russell easily over-shadowed him. In 1994 Spader co-starred in Stargate, a better than average but less than amazing film. Many other over-looked films, most of which were “bad guy” rolls, followed, including my personal favorite True Colors (which involved a role reversal… John Cusack as a bad guy? Who would have think it?). In fact, he won the best actor award at the Cannes Film Festival, which lead him to starring with Susan Sarandon in White Palace.
