ONE of the main characters of the hugely popular Netflix series “House of Cards” is offering some insight into his surprise return to Season 3.

    Michael Kelly, who plays Doug Stamper in the series, said he has to keep the fact on a down low.

    “I’m not a liar but I had to lie at times and it sucked. That was really hard for me, like, that’s just not in my being. So, it was hard and to hold in a secret for a year,” he said.

    His character in the series was thought to have been killed off at the end of Season 2.

    But he’s back in the latest series.

    “Just madness, more madness. At the heart of it all he is doing everything he can to get back to where he believes he belongs — back to the Chief of Staff of the President of the United States,” he said.

    Season 3 of “House of Cards,” starring Kelly, Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright, became downloadable on Netflix last weekend.(SD-Agencies)
