After recording Spandau Ballet's final album Heart Like a Sky, in 1989, Kemp and his brother returned to acting. He earned criticism from his fellow band members Tony Hadley, Steve Norman and John Keeble, but received good reviews for his performance as Ronnie Kray in The Krays (1990).{{citation|url=https://deadline.com/2013/08/the-krays-brothers-martin-and-gary-kemp-find-new-gangsters-to-play-in-assassin-568514|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180516174457/http://deadline.com/2013/08/the-krays-brothers-martin-and-gary-kemp-find-new-gangsters-to-play-in-assassin-568514/|url-status=dead|archive-date=16 May 2018|title='The Krays' Brothers Martin And Gary Kemp Find New Gangsters To Play In 'Assassin'|date=21 August 2013|author=Fleming, Mike Jr.|access-date=5 November 2015}} The success of this film was the death-knell for Spandau Ballet.{{Cite web|url=http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/entertainment/music/music-news/the-past-is-no-longer-important-as-we-look-1033360|title=The past is no longer important as we look forward to fresh start, says Spandau Ballet's Gary Kemp|first=Billy|last=Sloan|date=8 August 2009|website=Daily Record}}
