Hope so. However, it does seem that there are people around who can't distinguish between the part being played, and the actor playing it.

I cant remember now whether they even mentioned him at all, in that last season, whether it was alluded to that he the main character had died or what.

He's mentioned a couple of times, afaicr.
It was the weakest season but Robin Wright gave a brilliant performance.

of course it was weak, it was a scramble to try to create something without frank underwood in it, when the dynamic between those two was kind of the whole point.
eta i'm not saying that it was a mistake to fire him, i get why that happened at the time, but this was that rare thing a genuine cancellation, the key character erased overnight, like in those old soviet photos.
is this thread a tiny fragment of the cuture war?
Btw, in mentioning the good people of Cork above, my implication was not intended to be that Cork people are peculiarly susceptible to gullibility. Only to suggest that it is not unheard of that excellent and convincing actors playing the role of unpleasant people have been physically attacked in their everyday ordinary life. Cork (my own family hailed from there) just happens to be the home city of Eanna Hardwicke (Ben in 6th Commandment).

If i have understood correctly, there is some suggestion above that Spacey may be a creep because he has very effectively played roles portraying creepy types. experience has taught me to cautious before accepting any media image creations (film, social, print etc). Just a thought.

I think it's just the old "no smoke without fire" brigade, getting in there.

I think Kevin Spacey's a creep not because of the characters he plays, but because he was fired from House of Cards over sexual harassment allegations that an arbitrator determined were accurate.

John Altman.
Actually, this rings a bell. Distinctly recall Todd Carty (who played Mark Fowler) getting grief irl, because his character was HIV positive.
Susanna Dawson (who played his wife, Gill) also found it difficult to get work due to associations with her character's HIV status.
This was 30 years ago, when some people still weren't informed about HIV. And yes, redcogs , you're correct in that some people do get confused.

And let's not forget Mary Elmes.
I guess what had have been better is if it was filmed, and right at the end he’s sat in the dock and he begins to address the camera - like Henry Hill in Goodfellas - but he begins by walking like Kendal (or whatever his name was in the Usual Suspects) then he starts to straighten it out after he lights a fag.

No, that wouldn't have been better. Certainly not for alleged victims.
Yeah, I guess I saw the title: Underwhelming, and the joke pretty much wrote itself.

The OP is the only joke here. There's nothing else funny about it.
Apologies.
Didn’t mean to trivialise the issue of rich men and their (alleged) appalling sex-crimes.
