I think he might have seen the poetry of it, you know?
I think that ultimately he would appreciate the honesty of what she chose.
There was nothing drawn out or ambiguous about it.
I think thats what he interpreted as romantic… And so,washe in love with her?
Yeah, I think he was.
No, I dont think he necessarily deserved it, but I do think that it was maybe destined.
I think it was heading in that direction.
I dont know what else there was left for him to do.
What would have been the alternative to either killing himself or destroying their lives with that book?
Would he have been okay with that?
I dont know, so in a way [his death] may have been merciful.
I mean, shes great.
She justissomething extraordinary, and its just in her DNA.
Do you remember what was running through your mind while filming that scene?
[Laughs] Yeah, there were a lot of things going on.
But I do remember thinking, This is a big moment in my life.
That I wont forget.AndI remember constantly having to put down kneepads for Robin so she wouldnt get rug burns.
[Laughs] So theres that.
Well, its quite a way to go.
NowHouse of Cardscant do something like this again.Yeah, right?
Ive taken that one.
No more [characters] can get poisoned and then have sex and then die.
[Laughs]
Just curious: Did you take anything from set after filming that last scene?
Anything else you remember from that last day?I remember how warm everybody was.
But ultimately what I took away from it were really nice memories with really nice people.
You got to have memorable scenes with both Underwoods and much of the cast.
The thought I had was, I need to get the f off this show.
[Laughs] Like,weperpetuated this love affair with sty people in politics!
Like, that has now manifested itself in ourdaily lives!
Its funny you call him a controversial character.
I sawa headline a while backthat called him, or really you, TVs sexiest creeper.Right [laughs].
