Michael Kelly, known for his role as Doug Stamper in the hit Netflix series House of Cards, recently opened up about his thoughts on how the show ended. While the series was groundbreaking and widely acclaimed, its final season left many fans feeling disappointed and wanting more.
House of Cards was Netflix's first original series back in 2013, and it quickly became a sensation with its intense political drama. However, the show came to an abrupt end in 2018 when the lead star, Kevin Spacey, was fired by the streaming giant due to sexual misconduct allegations. The final season only had eight episodes instead of the usual 13, and Spacey's character was killed off-screen, leaving fans with a lot of unanswered questions.
For Michael, playing Doug Stamper in House of Cards was a significant part of his career, but he still has mixed feelings about the show's legacy. He acknowledged the show's impact as the first original streaming series and its role in shaping how we consume television today. However, he also couldn't help but feel heartbroken about the way it ended and the missed potential.
In a recent interview, Michael shared an encounter with a young fan who had just started watching House of Cards with his dad. The fact that new viewers are still discovering the show in 2024 is a testament to its lasting impact. However, Michael also expressed his disappointment that the show's legacy will always be tainted by the way it ended.
Currently, Michael is starring in a new spy thriller series called Lioness, where he plays the CIA Deputy Director. While he doesn't feel typecast, he does find himself drawn to political roles, especially after his time on House of Cards. He even had the opportunity to meet the real Deputy Director of the CIA, which he described as a thrilling experience.
The series also boasts a star-studded cast, including Morgan Freeman and Nicole Kidman, who both took on smaller roles in this project. For Michael, working with these A-listers is a dream come true, and he feels blessed to be able to learn from them and share the screen with them.
One of the things that attracted Michael to Lioness was the fact that it tells the story from a woman's perspective. He found it refreshing to see a series that focuses on strong and powerful women and how their lives are affected by their work. Lioness is currently available to stream on Paramount+, with new episodes released every Sunday.
