In 2006, Darrow got his first movie/TV role in Civil War Stories which exposed him to a wider audience, helping to further his entire acting career.
Darrow starred alongside Kevin Spacey in an international touring production of Shakespeare’s Richard III. Kevin was impressed with his acting and submitted his name as one to consider for a role on the Netflix show House of Cards which Spacey was already playing.
Darrow was given the role of Edward Meechum, a Secret Service agent and loyal bodyguard of Democratic MP Frank Underwood, played by Kevin Spacey.
“There were some really talented actors who were really good at House of Cards, so Kevin put us together,” Darrow told Entertainment Weekly how he got the role.
Becoming a fan favorite almost immediately, Darrow’s role was expanded to include the second season and then the third and fourth when his character was killed off after taking a bullet to protect Underwood who had become the President of the United States.
Asked by the Hollywood reporter if he was upset that his character was killed off, he replied;
“It’s hard to leave something you’ve been. There’s the practical thing of being an actor where the job ends, but we always do. The jobs always end and you move on. But mostly, I thought that was the right way to end his story.”
After his role ended, Darrow became increasingly active on the small screen starring in Billions, Gotham, The Wizard of Lies, Preacher and Rectify. Nevertheless, he continues to perform on stage. Recently, he played the title character in Hamlet at the Heart of America Shakespeare Festival in Southmoreland Park, Kansas City. Her HOC costar Kevin Spacey was in the audience and even tweeted his support.
A great performance from Hamlet Sat. night! Glad I got to see my good friend Nathan Darrow perform live! Tickets:
