Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey is leaving his career on the big screen, well, at least "for a while."

"I've been acting non-stop for four or five years and taking a break is a healthy thing," the K-Pax star said.

Mr. Spacey wants to turn full attention to his movie company Trigger St. Productions. Knowing he can get $20 million to be in a movie, but nothing near that amount to make one, Kevin told the press, "It can be more difficult to raise $2 million than $20 million. It's my honor and responsibility to send the elevator back down."
