Spacey, who currently stars in the Netflix hit "House of Cards," was acting in the one-man show when
someone's phone went off, according to London's Daily Mail. The incident happened at the point in the play when Spacey's character, a 19th century American civil rights hero, is defending himself in a trial.
The ringing continued to get louder and Spacey finally yelled, "If you don't answer that, I will!"
