(Allegedly) alive and well, and coming to us from what one might interpret as the living room of a fiery Hell, House of Cards‘ Frank Underwood is “back” to cast his 2020 vote — for [spoiler].
Kevin Spacey on Christmas Eve “revived” his House of Cards character (or at least someone who speaks like him, with a hint of a Southern-fried accent) in the Instagram video below, where he offers a holiday-themed message of… kindness?
“Been a pretty good year, and I’m glad to have my health back,” says the ersatz version of Frank, who in House of Cards canon is of course truly and sincerely dead. “In light of that, I’ve made some changes in my life, and I invite you to join me.”
Spacey’s character goes on to cast his 2020 vote for “more good in this world,” stressing that he is “dead serious” with the out-of-character message. For example, he says, the next time someone does something you don’t like, you “can go on the attack” or you could “hold your fire and do the unexpected. You can… kill them with kindness,” he says, before returning to stoke his fire as an ominous chord of music plays.
Spacey ultimately was dropped from what would be House of Cards‘ final season after he was charged with indecent assault and battery for allegedly groping an 18-year-old man in 2016. (The Massachusetts man’s allegations echoed those of Star Trek: Discovery star Anthony Rapp, who in October 2017 went public with an accusation that Spacey had made an inappropriate advance at him when he was 14; Spacey said at the time he was “beyond horrified” by Rapp’s story, and then offered his “sincerest apology.”) But in a document filed this past July, it was revealed that the Massachusetts case would not proceed “due to the unavailability of the complaining witness.”
He really can’t stop, can he?
If he becomes any more unhinged America might make him president.
American voters know better than that. They avoided the crazy candidate in 2016, and will do so again in 2020.
You mean because Hillary won the popular vote? In that case, I agree
For all the critiques people may throw at Clinton, to call her the “crazy candidate” and imply that Trump isn’t crazy is perhaps the wildest accusation.
Wouldn’t be a political post without a delusional Trumptard.
You mean Your President until 2024. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Not mine lol. Poor snowflake
Oh the irony. You’re the snowflake by saying “not my president”. Unless you’re not American lol
president for the inbred…
The people elected Clinton. Unfortunately, we got the warped electoral college candidate, who is easily the most unhinged person even put in office.
“Easily”? So you mean you’ve met every other president in history and Trump’s psychologist to have come to this conclusion? Most Republicans are happy with Trump. Don’t call him crazy just because you disagree with half the country who voted for him. Also, I know it’s fashionable these days to criticize the electoral college system but I would rather have every state receive attention than have candidates simply campaign in New York and California for the entire election. There’s a reason the founders came up with the electoral college. Don’t abolish it just coz your candidate lost.
Ha!! You made my day.
Could he be anymore creapy? WTF
I see you went to some liberal house of indoctrination. They teach nothing and you
never learned to spell.
He’s a forkin actor, and a damn good one, I hope he never stops.
One of the best, missed his talent.
He really had it all but pushed for more.
Why do you keep iving him a space? For shame
That’s the stuff of nightmares
Really shouldn’t be reporting on this.
He’s either doing it because he feels attention starved, in which case spreading it is doing exactly what he wants
Or he is seriously mentally ill and needs help, in which case making light of it is almost as disgusting as his alleged past behaviour.
I just realized why Daniel Craig’s accent in Knives Out sounded a bit familiar.
Precisely.
Yep, my husband said, after we saw Knives Out, that if Kevin Spacey hadn’t messed up, he would have played the Daniel Craig role
I sat in that movie and kept thinking why does this voice sound SO familiar? I figured I out before the end. It was Frank’s voice…spot on.
“Alive and well”.
Edited, because the wordplay I was going for didn’t quite work.
You can tell the worst punishment for this guy is not being able to act. It was his whole life and only thing that really meant anything to him.
Spacey is hardly the most creep worthy actor in Hollywood. He and Cosby were just finally caught and stopped. Their behavior was hardly the exception but the expected and many covered their A and many others yet to be brought to light. At some point he will likely work again. I am curious if he learned a lesson at all or just bitter he was stopped.
He learned nothing
Can’t deny that he’s a great actor. But damn…
He may not be saying anything offensive in that video, but he’s still creepy as hell. Nobody needs his Christmas messages
Spacey really needs to just go away and life his life apart from the public eye.
Was kindness what he showed all those young boys over the years??????? He’s a sociopath.
I loved this, I am happy to see him and hope he’s in more things soon.
