Kevin Spacey again in “House of Cards” role: Frank Underwood is back

“Yes, is it Christmas today?” Some users will have thought in the social network X. Because for the doctorate of the comedy special “i’m your mother” committed comedian Tim Dillon (40) the badly fallen Oscar winner Kevin Spacey (65). The fictional US President Frank Underwood slipped back into his well-known “House of Cards” role. The strange appearance caused mixed reactions for users in the social network controlled by Elon Musk (53).

Spaceys Underwood begins the video with a tirade against er, which also includes Tim Dillon. “Your podcaster thinks you have inherited the kingdom,” says Spacey in his role as underwood to Dillon in the video published on Tuesday. “You whisper in your ears, influence elections, spins the truth as if it were a cotton candy, while in reality you are nothing more than a bunch of clowns that juggle erection pills and hair water.”

Later in the clip, the fictitious Underwood Dillon tries unsuccessfully and praises the comedian with the words: “There are no limits to your double tongue, your pioneer, your shameless and desperate striving not to lose importance”, and thus sums up how many observers over Spacey’s own efforts to remain active as an actor.

As is well known, the mime was fired by Netflix in 2017 when the allegations of abuse against him became public that the actor Anthony Rapp (53) had raised. Spacey was not convicted in this matter as well as in another process in England, where he had to answer in the summer of 2023 for accusation of sexual abuse.

He should pay the “House of Cards” producers $ 31 million compensation for incurred costs as a result of his release. In 2024, this sum was reduced to $ 1 million. The streaming service was not informed about the doctorate of Tim Dillons Comedy Special in advance, the comedian revealed in an Instagram story.

But numerous users also seem to miss Spacey in his iconic role. “God, I miss Kevin Spacey in ‘House of Cards’. The guy was born to play Frank Underwood,” is another comment.
