LOS ANGELES — Kevin Spacey’s Emmy-nominated Netflix series “House of
Cards” had British beginnings.So it’s no surprise the actor walked the red carpet Saturday at the
British Academy of Film and Television Arts pre-Emmy tea in Los
Angeles. He says the show’s nine nominations are a sign the
entertainment industry is learning how to better cater to audiences.
Other American versions of British shows were on stars’ minds too.
“Breaking Bad” star Dean Norris says the original British version of
“The Office” is one of his “favorite shows of all time.” And actor
Reid Scott of “Veep” says he really loves the BBC’s show “Sherlock
Holmes.”
So what will be the next British import to find fame in America? Even
“Downton Abbey” creator Julian Fellowes says he doesn’t know.
