Emmy Quickie: ‘House of Cards’ Star Mahershala Ali Exclusive StudioWrap Portraits (Photos)

Emmy-nominated actor stops by TheWrap for an interview and photo session

Frank Underwood has a lot of enemies in “House of Cards” — but star Mahershala Ali, who plays Remy Danton on the Netflix hit, thinks a friend will be the one to take down the president.

“Like maybe at some point because he’s the one closest to him, my guess would be [Doug] Stamper,” Ali said of costar Michael Kelly’s character in a recent interview with TheWrap.

Ali is nominated for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series.

[...] speaking of taking down Frank Underwood, Ali’s favorite moment of last season was when Freddy Hayes (Reg E. Cathey), the owner of the BBQ joint that was Underwood’s secret hiding spot, cussed him out.

“I thought it was interesting to see someone who doesn’t necessarily have that fear, fearing the repercussions of standing up to someone with status,” he said.
