That said, I disagree with American In London being Kevin Spacey, if only because he's never worked with Mr. Moviemaker before (thank you IMDB), but . . . John Landis has. John Landis, director of an American Werewolf in London, worked with Mr. Moviemaker as producer on Twilight Zone: the Movie, where Mr. Moviemaker directed one of the segments. If you've noticed all of the previous chapters in this war, the code names were all movie title related, ie. Ocean Lover (Ocean's 11, Clooney) and Hard to Catch (Catch Me If You Can, DiCaprio). It fits more that these two directors and producers would know each other if they've worked together before.

I don't know that it
is or
isn't Kevin Spacey, but Hollywood's a small town. I'm sure Spacey and Spielberg are acquainted and thus could be friends.
Plus the BI was specific that some of those events were
in London where Spacey has been/ had been working for quite some time.
Now Spacey's rumored to be in talks for a role in Spielberg's
Trial of the Chicago 7 - who knows - maybe they discussed various roles over the years. And Spacey's been in Hollywood a couple of decades. Maybe they met an an Oscar party years ago. Maybe Haley Joel Osment, who's worked with both, introduced them.
ETA from the BI:
Quote:
a certain theater director in London… let’s call him ‘The American in London’. The meeting took place in California where the American in London temporarily took residence.
Mr moviestar and the American in London are not really known as good friends, but do know each other. When mr moviestar called the American in London and told him they need to meet because mr moviestar is worried about a mutual friend, you guessed again; mr moviemaker, the American in London agrees. (...)
He is, however, also aware that the American in London is good friends with mr moviemaker and mr moviestar hopes that this will be enough to make him realize the damage mrs moviemaker is doing to him. (...)
Mr moviestar answers that that is not what he wants, but says he knows the American in London is well connected, maybe he can talk to certain people in London, willing to publish the information since American media seems to scared to print it.

Spacey has been a theater director in London (Landis has not), but he certainly may have returned to LA at some point during his stint with the Old Vic theatre.
Cruise and Spacey are likely to be acquainted but just guessing from their personalities, wouldn't be good friends. As for "the American in London is good friends with mr moviemaker", I don't know that Spacey and Spielberg aren't friends, let alone good friends. So I suppose they could be.
Spacey began at the Old Vic in 2004 and in that capacity probably became well connected in London circles.
Seems like Spacey to me.
