Kevin Spacey isn't interested in "crap" movie roles.
The 'House of Cards' star's last appearance in a film was in 2011 comedy 'Horrible Bosses', and aside from working on the sequel, for a reported $1 million, his focus has been on TV and theatre because he claims film-makers don't offer him good enough parts.
He said: "You'd be shocked. There are a lot of people out there who offer roles to actors because they'll elevate their movie to a place the movie would never reach.
"They offer them a s**tload of money for a crap part, but it doesn't make the movie any better. And I'm not interested in elevating someone's crap movie."
The 54-year-old actor confessed, however, that he would happily work with the legendary director behind movies such as 'The Wolf of Wall Street', 'Gangs of New York' and 'The Departed'.
He told The Hollywood Reporter: "Unless it's Martin Scorsese, and it's a really significant role, f**k off."
Nevertheless, Spacey is in talks to take on the role of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill in an upcoming biopic, but aside from that he claims he's going to focus on his commitments as director of The Old Vic theatre in London.
He added: "It was absolutely unappealing to me to end up in a lot of movies I shouldn't do, to start showing up and doing the same thing over and over."

Jennifer Garner's says her charity work has made her a better mother.
The 'Butter' actress - who has two daughters, Violet, eight, and Seraphina, five, and two-year-old son Samuel with her husband Ben Affleck - started working with children's rights organisation Save the Children six years ago and she insists helping out families that are struggling has helped her to be less stressed about juggling her own children and her career.
She told the latest issue of People magazine: "It's given me so much empathy for other moms, and more patience with myself. And with my kids, it's chilled me out, just knowing eye-to-eye connection matters. It's so much more simple than we all make it."
Jennifer, 41, was motivated to work with Save The Children because she wanted to help disadvantaged kids in her home country of America.
She added: "There's so much need all over the world, but for years I kept thinking, 'What about the kids that I grew up next to in West Virginia?' So six years ago, I started working with Save the Children, which helps rural America climb out of poverty.
"I've seen first hand how a little bit of encouragement from someone telling a mom, 'You can do this' can change a kid's life. Watching the light go on between a mom and her child is a total thrill."

Jennifer Aniston is thinking about becoming a Buddhist.
The former 'Friends' star has been inspired to embrace spirituality by her friend Demi Moore and as well as learning more about Buddhism she is also exploring Kabbalah.
A source told the latest issue of America's OK! magazine: "As Jen gets older, she feels she's benefit from guidance. She's been talking to friends and has been interested in learning more about several religions, including Buddhism."
Jennifer - who is engaged to actor Justin Theroux - had dinner with Demi recently and took the opportunity to quiz the 'Ghost' star about her belief in Kabbalah, which is a mystical off-shoot off Judaism.
Jennifer, 45, was fascinated by what Demi, 51, said about her faith but is believed to be leaning towards Buddhism because she is such an ardent follower of yoga.
The source revealed: "Jen was struck by how calm and centred Demi seemed. Jen was intrigued and decided to get private lessons. She loves the idea of studying something spiritual, and she already does yoga, so it seems like a natural next step."

Michael Palin has confirmed Monty Python will disband for good after their reunion shows.
The star claims the beloved comedy troupe's 10 live dates at The O2 arena this July will be the last time the veteran jokers will all perform together.
He told the BBC: "We hadn't exactly decided on the number of dates. We were going to do two, then four, then five, now it will be 10. July 20 will be the last night of the Pythons in the sense that there are absolutely no plans to do any more shows after that.
"We had to make a decision otherwise everyone expects you to tour America and Australia and all that. Because everybody's very busy with their own different projects, I don't think it will be possible to get all those together."
The reunion, which kicks off on July 1, will see Michael, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle and Terry Jones take to the stage for the first time since 2009, while Graham Chapman - who passed away in 1989 - will be sadly missed.
Michael, 70, explained the 'Life of Brian' funnymen didn't want to commit to international dates because they wanted it the reunion to be short but sweet.
He said: "The general feeling was that we'd rather have the rest of our life doing what we all wanted to do and not spend the years ahead touring Python. There's terrific international interest in Python, particularly in America.
"So I think they'll be a little bit miffed that we're not going over there. But they get everything. Too bad. They'll have to come here."
The Pythons have also released a new song, 'The Silly Walks Song', their first original material since 1999.

Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett lets her husband shave her "everywhere".
The former Playboy model, who is expecting her second child and also has four-year-old son Hank Jr. with husband Hank - is due to give birth to a baby girl in the coming weeks and admits she's found it difficult to take care of personal grooming issues.
Speaking at Jennifer Love Hewitt's Pea in the Pod maternity clothing launch party in Beverly Hills, she told UsMagazine.com: "I wanted to show a little leg, even though I don't have any ankles. It's so bad because I couldn't even shave my knees. I can't reach."
The blonde beauty added that Hank helped her out because he "shaves me everywhere."
The 28-year-old star is having a difficult pregnancy and admits that her unborn baby is "crushing" her pelvic bone and she's "feeling like crap".
She said: "I've come to that point of pregnancy where I pretty much give up ... I haven't been able to work out because I'm in so much pain. I'm just lying in bed in pain. It's so brutal. She's crushing my pelvic bone. I can't even walk any more."
Throughout her painful pregnancy, Hank, 31, has been doting on her and making sure she's as comfortable as possible.
She added: "[He] makes sure my every day is perfect. He puts roses on the toilet seat. I'll wake up and I'll have a rose on my bed."
