Anytime Doug is alone with someone, I think he's going to kill them.

Since when does Doug ever smile? 😂

[@cashshift6017]

when claire visited him at the hospital first time he did smile

[@SugarHoneyIceTea90]

Cash Shift which is the cutest thing in the world!

[@demibellini6915]

That's when you know you're a good actor

[@stevencoardvenice]

ya he's one of the best characters. like gus on breaking bad. heard they're gonna do a spinoff with stamper ..

[@felixr6307]

[@PutMyPenguin]

I wonder if he would like me to read something to him.

[@jenarambhujoo9434]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@MolecularArchitect]

He had Rachael read to him the bible in the car like his mother used to.

[@Yetipfote]

I wonder if he breaks a cell phone right in this moment.

[@bigdbohnen]

Doug Stamper is by far and away my favourite character. I can't believe Michael Kelly is actually a pleasant happy go lucky person. I don't know how to react watching this

[@carecup809]

Why is it so hard to believe?

[@tdog652041]

He’s an actor, becoming someone else is the job.

[@Yetipfote]

Doug is my favourite character. He isn't twisted but very clear, determined and loyal to the Underwoods. That determination is something to behold in this times of confusion and uncertainty.

[@mahimagabriel3798]

Michael Kelly (not Doug:) is such a CUTIE!! Great actor !!!

[@lisag9854]

He really is!

[@stevencoardvenice]

....you don't want marry Remy? you want Doug stamper? the guy who makes chicks sing him to sleep and then he strangles them? u crazy!!!!

[@stevencoardvenice]

I'll bet u ladies like Gus from breaking bad too!!

[@MargiesSims]

He's got a lovely smile :)

[@chucknorrisffs]

He'd be a good Agent 47...

[@felixr6307]

Yes he would.

[@ivahnmasinde9640]

Yes, the best hit man of all time

[@justinbuergi9867]

I knew him for a few months He is genuinely one of the nicest people you will ever meet

[@Topic_____542]

I laughed because I would be so scared if I saw Michael Kelly in a suit in an elevator lol

[@jameslyddall]

Trevor Mention I recently went to a tailor in London to get a suit matching Doug although Remmy is really cool love that wardrobe. You’re right though can you imagine Kelly in character as Doug just glowing at you in an elevator lol. Id be scared shitless.

[@alexbeerune]

james lyddall glowering not glowing he’s not a candle lol

[@justinbuergi9867]

He becomes a lot less scary when you see him mow his lawn every Saturday

[@vojta4045]

[@justinbuergi9867]

@@vojta4045 he rented the house next to me (in New Jersey) during Covid

[@jameshanscombe2530]

Kelly looks like a guy who would go to jail for you.

[@PeterJosephpeejaayy159]

James Hanscombe :|

[@lizzie2trappy54]

Best character. Low key the most powerful

[@andohish27]

first time I've ever seen him smile he probably blackmailed them off camera

[@albarleta2511]

Don't trust that smile. He's evil. Can't wait for season 5!

[@GOWRISANKARAS]

he has that skill set! smiling is part of it

[@syedmammar1]

Phenomenal actor

[@paulsurette5828]

He was great in 'Person of Interest'

[@adelaidemarie]

They can’t separate Kevin either.

[@LiYanyi]

He smiles!! OMG

[@michaelokeke4976]

Telltale signs of a great actor

[@ryanbinrichard]

He'll always be CJ.DotD 2004 - one of my top 3 movies of all time, no doubt.

[@gsentinel4821]

Fantastic actor.

[@monkeyb1820]

Michael Kelly is so evil, I just can't trust him.

[@justinbuergi9867]

He was my neighbor. Nicest guy I’ve ever met

[@monkeyb1820]

@@justinbuergi9867 He went to Brookwood right? I'm sure he's good country people. He was just so convincingly evil in that show!

[@justinbuergi9867]

@@monkeyb1820 agreed. It really freaked out my mother for the first few weeks he lived next door

[@phoebsc5993]

I kept wanting Doug to have a soul, but he doesn't have one! Michael Kelly is brilliant as Doug - such a creepy, twisted guy!

[@chrisrambo5955]

Can you believe this guy played cj on dawn of the dead in 2004?

[@user-by8mt1ux5z]

Yeah...... i can't believe

[@topbins1391]

Doug Stamper is a legend 💯🔥🐐

[@cultfan5227]

He has a great smile

[@zaboza2011]

poor poor doug..

[@mprkg]

Doug Stamper so vulnerable but super evil too. Love him!!

[@a.demifemiflapo5795]

Season 3 and Season 4 was like the creators and the producers actually had a crystal ball. It was soooo like the real life 2016 election loool

[@FrenchToast663]

I've always loathed the necessity of Pokemon Centers. Like death, it puts even the most powerful Pokemon in their balls.

[@bjolantanni992]

Who doesn't want Doug working for you !

[@tristenhowe2886]

His last name is Stamper.... do you expect him to not "stamp" anybody

[@heerbyheerby6890]

or a dog... stomper

[@panpanifyoucancan7120]

Doug makes me scared, but I like him.

[@stevencoardvenice]

no better friend. no worse enemy. like lavar ball

[@THEPINEVLOGS]

This is the first time I’ve seen doug stamper off the series and i must say im surprised he can smile.

[@Exorce]

I look in his eyes and still feel cold lmfao but hes such a nice guy wtf

[@adriantejada3184]

Hey its CJ from dawn of the dead

[@wirikuta14]

He´s still Doug.

[@nanyali4279]

ارووووع ممثل❤️

[@VikasKumar-nq8if]

He is not Mike Kelly he is just talkative and smiling Doug Stamper

[@rahuljuneja1185]

Doug Stamper plays Michael Kelly.

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

He got so many words in, I'm sure he's glad he got out of bed for this interview...

[@MegaTheLuna]

I love Doug Stamper!!

[@speckgens]

..2:36 is that his spouse? Wow

[@themomwhosstayingsane4982]

I love robin Wright as an actress

[@IvoryTrance]

its funny cause he never smiles on the show

[@marCrimson]

Me myself can't separate him from his CJ character from the remake of Dawn of the Dead(2004), but that's just me I guess...

[@hene193]

People see Doug. I see Mark Snow...

[@kylelindquist7634]

I didn't know that he was capable of smiling

[@guilleterra]

"...house OH cards..." Do you even read bro?

[@scilines]

Guille T. He was being funny, as in House O’Cards.

[@jackdolah2031]

Dude he is Doug stamper

[@shay3355]

the only person i loved more than frank was doug cos It was michael 😍😘

[@DaveMcIroy]

0:05 - "Nekflix series House O cards"? Forgot how to speak?

[@thomaschristopherwhite9043]

He's cool.. Doug Stamper doesn't come out until the navitimer pops up on his wrist.

[@babani8418]

I need more money to feed me Doug~

[@cjbermudes5688]

Captain Patterson anyone?

[@logicalblackman8228]

I almost ran this guy over twice. I think he was living in the Sunset Tower Hotel on Sunset Strip right across from the saddle ranch restaurant. There used to be a Starbucks there behind the Carney‘s train. I was doing tours and he was jaywalking both times. The first time, I forgot his name so I called him Doug lol. He was actually cordial. The second time, less so

[@henley777]

Who else thought in the beginning that Doug is just an useless office nerd?

[@youngest8598]

how is doug evil tho i cant see it all i can say is he is one loyal servant and good friend to frank nobody can replace doug

[@DarkWolf-407]

When I see him I think CJ.

[@willscottsmith8360]

Steven Ogg’s twin!

[@alexcrayfish]

Its so wrong to see him smile

[@helenagiszter1910]

It's interesting but Michael Kelly's career seems to come to a halt like the careers of almost all supporting actors and actresses in HoC... Beside of course Mahershala Ali and Rachel. HoC elevated "mediocre unknown TV actors" - with all due respect ;-) - to one of the best ensembles in the history of American entertainment industry, if not THE best. But everybody got terribly typecast, absolutely everybody.

Michael is great, sound production and montage is awful. A wall of endless chirp and overlapping music.
