Kevin Spaceys new film "Casino Jack” was inspired by true events as lobbyist Abramoff and his business partner Michael Scanlon (Barry Pepper) sprouted as worldwide-headline sensations after a disastrous scandal spun out of control and exposed the illegal activities that transpired in Washington. Before Abramoff and Scanlon, the word “lobbyist” was mostly unknown to the outside world, but since the duo’s downfall, the epithet has evolved into a despicable term. Casino Jack opens in theaters in N.Y. and L.A. December 17th.
