Roger Verbal Kint is a character in Bryan Singer's classic neo-noir, The Usual Suspects. He is played by Kevin Spacey, who won his first Oscar (Best Supporting Actor, 1995) for the role.Kint is supposedly a con man, and has scammed numerous people out of healthy sums of money. One of these scams, according to a shady lawyer named Kobayashi, whom ended in the loss of 50,000+ dollars that belonged to the legendary underworld kingpin, Keyser Soze. It was because of this debt to Soze that Kint was supposedly recruited along with a small crew of other criminals into an elaborate plot to help Soze. The plot involved them hijacking a boat and destroying the cocaine onboard. Once aboard, the criminals found that there was no cocaine, and that there was another game afoot. All of the criminals were killed, except for Kint, who stayed behind, and a Hungarian mob member, who was horribly injured when the boat was set ablaze by Keyser Soze himself.Kint is shown to be crippled, suffering from cerebral palsy. He has one lame foot and cannot move his left hand.At the end of the film, in what is widely considered one of the best twist endings in film history, Kint is revealed to be none other than Keyser Soze himself. After being released from police custody, Kint is shown limping down the street as a fax is sent in to the police office showing the face of Keyser Soze, as it had been described by the Hungarian mobster to an interpreter. The face on the fax is shown to be completely identical to Kint's, and as the audience watches Kint walk down the street, his limp disappears and his right hand is revealed to be perfectly usable. A car pulls up, Kint gets in, and the driver is revealed to be Kobayashi. The car drives off into the distance and disappears from sight. And like that........he's gone.
