That's pretty ignorant actually. Not that it matters but he was already in leading roles in major Broadway productions in 1986, acting with the likes of Jack Lemon and Peter Gallagher. The reality though is you don't understand what power is. He was an older, relatively established actor, having parties with other professionals, getting into night clubs in VIP sections without ID. To a 14 year old that's a power player and someone to be obeyed. Even if Spacey was Joe Blow, a manager at the arcade some random 14 year old worked at, he could be in an equal position of power if he chose to be.
