Kevin Spacey in House of Cards

Three years ago, when you thought of Kevin Spacey you would generally think of two things: "Keyser Söze" and  "American Beauty." "TV actor" was not part of the conversation. His role as Söze in 1995's crime thriller The Usual Suspects brought Spacey to the acting forefront. He solidified this by winning his first Academy Award for his role in 1999's American Beauty. Then, in 2013, Spacey announced his starring role in the Netflix political drama House of Cards. Now, having won a Golden Globe and two SAG Awards for his role, it's safe to say "Frank Underwood" has become the third thing.
