Kevin Spacey and Julia Louis-Dreyfus Swap Roles for EW Cover

How did nobody think of this sooner? For Entertainment Weekly’s new 25 Best Characters on TV issue, Kevin Spacey becomes Veep’s Selina Meyer and Julia Louis-Dreyfus takes on the role of House of Cards’ Frank Underwood.

Both actors are up for Emmy Awards for their respective performances this year. And while Spacey will likely lose to True Detective’s Matthew McConaughey, Louis-Dreyfus has a very strong possibility of picking up her third award for HBO’s Veep.

Notably, Frank Underwood and Selina Meyer were both heavily featured in the last two White House Correspondents’ Dinner pre-taped video segments. You can watch both of those below.
