Do not disturb Kevin Spacey while he’s working.

The “House of Cards” star was performing the one-man-show “Clarence Darrow” at London’s Old Vic, when a patron’s cell phone suddenly went off, according to a report by the British paper The Independent.

During a pivotal courtroom speech, the audience member’s cell phone’s ring tone rang loudly enough for the whole room to hear.
