Kevin Spacey as Frank Underwood. Francis J. Frank Underwood is a fictional character and the protagonist of the American version of House of Cards. He is portrayed by Kevin Spacey. He is a variation of Francis Urquhart, the protagonist of the British novel and television series House of Cards, from which the American Netflix series is adapted. He is married to Claire Underwood (Robin Wright), but also had a sexual relationship with Zoe Barnes (Kate Mara) in season 1.
We first meet Underwood as the enormously powerful House Majority Whip for the Democrats. Yep. Underwood is a Dem, elected from South Carolina, hence the dodgy accent. The character was created by Beau Willimon, who adapted House of Cards from a British show. He could have just as easily make Underwood a Republican.
