The actor's testimony began two hours after the judge threw out a claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress after lawyers for Anthony Rapp finished their presentation of evidence.

Kevin Spacey testified in a New York courtroom Monday that he never made a sexual pass at the actor Anthony Rapp, who has sued, claiming the Academy Award-winning actor tried to take him to bed when he was 14.

"I work in a very complicated family dynamic," he said, saying rants by his white supremacist and neo-Nazi father when he was a youngster led him to hate bigotry and intolerance. "Everything about what was happening in that house was something I had to keep to myself. We never, ever, talked about it. I have never talked about these things publicly ever," he said.

Spacey's lawyer argued for dismissal of the case on the grounds that Rapp's attorneys had failed to prove his claims.
