In real life that is.
I like how HoC found some many talented actors who haven't had the big name careers (like Kevin Spacey) but are still very talented. One of my favorites from season #2 was Michael Gill, who plays President Walker in HoC. I was reading his biography on IMDB and saw that he was married to Jayne Atkinson in RL - since 1998.
Seems Jayne Atkinson is also an actress so I clicked on her link.
Turns out she's the actress that plays Catherine Durant, Secretary of State in House of Cards.
So in a nutshell she betrayed her RL husband in House of Cards
BTW she's a talented actress herself. She does a great southern belle accent which is interesting because Jayne Atkinson was born in England.
