The Hill columnist Judy Kurtz asked several cast members of the hit Netflix series “House of Cards” who they are supporting for president. 
 
 Elizabeth Marvel, who plays Heather Dunbar, a Democratic candidate for the fictional 2016 presidential election, said, “I’m a Democrat. Honestly, I would be very happy with Hillary or Bernie Sanders. I feel very fortunate to be a Democrat this year.”

 “I don’t know if America is ready for a woman,” Marvel added, “I think Americans still want a daddy.” 
 
 Paul Sparks, who plays biographer Tom Yates for Kevin Spacey’s character Frank Underwood, said, “It’s going to be hard for me not to vote for a woman.” 
 
 Derick Cecil, who is White House Director Of Communications on “House of Cards,” said he is “baffled” by Donald Trump’s winning. 
 
 “Yeah, I know who I’m supporting,” Cecil said. “But I’ve been a Democrat for a very long time.” 
 
 Longtime actress and “House of Cards” newcomer Neve Campbell said she’s supporting Sanders. 
 
 Actor Nathan Darrow, who play a Secret Service agent, said, “I don’t have a political party. I’ve voted for Democrats and Republicans. So I don’t know yet.” 
 
 Jayne Atkinson, who plays U.S. secretary of state, said, “I think both Bernie and Hillary are amazing candidates. I think they are both saying very, very important things.

 Wright and Spacey play the devious Underwoods in the show 
 
 House Of Cards actress Robin Wright has revealed she threatened bosses she would "go public" if she wasn't given the same pay as co-star Kevin Spacey. 
 
 Wright plays first lady Claire Underwood, an equally strong and devious partner for Spacey's President Frank Underwood, in the Netflix series. 
 
 Speaking during an interview at the Rockefeller Foundation in New York, the star said she demanded equal pay after seeing statistics showing her character was more popular than Spacey's for a period of time. 
 
 "It was the perfect paradigm. There are very few films or TV shows where the male, the patriarch, and the matriarch are equal. And they are in House of Cards," said Wright, according to the Huffington Post. 
 
 "I was looking at the statistics and Claire Underwood’s character was more popular than [Frank’s] for a period of time. So I capitalised on it. I was like, 'You better pay me or I’m going to go public,'" Wright said. 
 
 "And they did." 
 
 Last year Forbes reported that Wright had made $5.5m (£3.7m) for her work on the show, which would be around $420,000 an episode. 
 
 The fourth series of the show was released in March.
– In a bit of scheming that would do Claire Underwood proud, Robin Wright says she threatened her way into getting equal pay on House of Cards, Sky News reports. After seeing data that Claire was at points more popular than fictional husband Frank Underwood, she decided it was time she was paid the same as Kevin Spacey. "I capitalized on it," the Huffington Post quotes Wright as saying during an event Tuesday in New York. "I was like, ‘You better pay me or I’m going to go public.' And they did.” Wright was estimated to be making about $420,000 an episode in 2015. Spacey was reportedly already earning $500,000 per episode in 2014. “It was the perfect paradigm," Wright says. "There are very few films or TV shows where the male, the patriarch, and the matriarch are equal. And they are in House of Cards." (Some of the show's stars have shared their pick for president.)
