Kevin Spacey, more or less in character as House of Cards' South Carolina politician Frank Underwood, stars in this ad for the Clinton Foundation, keyed to Bill Clinton's 68th birthday. Spacey, in the "Oval Office," prank-calls Hillary as Bill to ask an unreasonable birthday favor (hey, get your mind out of the gutter) and still doesn't manage to find out whether she's running for office.
It's a funny use of the character, who A) isn't terribly nice and B) is the property of Netflix—but the distributor seems to be taking a laid-back approach to Spacey's use of the persona around the media world and that's probably a good thing.
