House Of Cards Says No to Real-Life Politicians: "We're Not Doing That," Says Kevin Spacey

Exclusive! Elected officials and other government types should leave their audition tapes at home

House of Cards stars Kevin Spacey, Robin Wright and Kate Mara will be at tonight's White House Correspondents' dinner.

We imagine there will some real-life politicians schmoozing them for a shot at landing a cameo on Netflix's hit political drama.

Well, we've got a message for all you Capitol Hill hotshots: Don't bother!

The show isn't interested. "No, we're not doing that," Spacey told me at the House of Cards Q&A at the Television Academy of Arts & Sciences.

Sakina Jaffrey, who plays the president's chief of staff Linda Vasquez, said, "We don't want them on the show...They can be on some other show. They can go to Veep."

Mara, who plays a hungry cub reporter sleeping with the House Majority Whip (Spacey), isn't sure what to expect when she walks into the WHCD tonight.

"It'll be fun to see what they say," she said. "See what kind of faces they make."
