10 Mind-Blowing Facts You Never Knew About House Of Cards

10. Spacey's Done The Same Before

Frank Underwood is a classic anti-hero €“ or possibly even just a straight-up villain €“ and one of the best roles Kevin Spacey has ever played, which is saying something. The character has a lot in common with other parts he's done before, from the conniving of The Usual Suspects' Keyser Söze to the Machiavellian Richard III. What you might not have noticed is that the character Frank Underwood has the most in common is...well, a little less high-minded than that. Somehow Spacey got convinced to appear in the mostly terrible 2011 comedy Horrible Bosses, as one of the titular nightmare employers along with Jennifer Aniston and Colin Farrell. So what exactly did ruthless Democrat Frank Underwood and slightly douchey financier David Harken have in common? In both Horrible Bosses and House Of Cards Spacey's character offers a character a drink, before declining to get one for himself €“ it's so early in the morning, after all. A real d*ck move of a power play, that.
