It begins like a clip from the hit series House of Cards, perhaps another trailer or preview ahead of Season 4. The camera focuses on the back of Frank Underwood’s head as he stares out a window, deep in thought, and slowly zooms out while the familiar ominous score fills the scene. His chief of staff approaches and says gravely, “Sir, it’s time.”
The video, posted by Netflix, follows Kevin Spacey in character as President Frank Underwood, who is heading to the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery for the unveiling of his portrait Monday evening. A collaboration between Spacey, British artist Jonathan Yeo and the museum, the painting depicts the actor in his masterful portrayal of the scheming, coldhearted politician.
“I suppose I should be pleased I am finally going to be hung in our nation’s attic,” Underwood says in one of his characteristic asides to the camera, breaking the fourth wall as he rides in his motorcade to the event. “Of course, if they knew what was in my basement, they wouldn’t hang me so close to Lincoln; I’d end up next to Booth instead.”
He adds, “Booth wasn’t a bad actor, by the way. But unlike most actors, he could actually hit his mark. Oh, what? Too soon?”
