Frank Underwood To Kill Doug Stamper To Cover His Tracks?

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, the film actress and director shared her experience directing episodes on Netflix's two most popular series -- Orange is the New Black and House of Cards. While the actress had more to say about her the prison drama she did slip in that Spacey was completely charming, and fun to work with on the set of House of Cards.

"That was fantastic!" she said. "Very, very different, obviously. But they couldn't be having more fun. Kevin Spacey is hysterical. He keeps everybody laughing with amazing impersonations and dances."

The actress might have felt a greater affinity to Orange is the New Black, as she is a strong proponent of LGBT rights and the show deals with those themes.

She also discussed the difference between working in film and television.

"It's a whole new world, but it's right up my alley," she said. "Story is back and that's what I do. I love serving directors in film, and in television, that's the show creator. You're there to be their champion. As the director, you don't cast a show, you don't have the sets built per your specs, you don't do revisions. You're not the sheriff! But Orange is so my tone. It's a comedy and drama put together. You care about what happens to people and they're as real as a heartbeat and yet there's all this whimsy."
