Ian Richardson, who brought Shakespearean depth to his portrayal of a thoroughly immoral politician in the hugely popular satirical TV drama House of Cards, died Friday at age 72, his agent said.
In addition to his many stage, screen and TV roles, Richardson also appeared in one of the mustard commercials as the man in the Rolls-Royce who asked, "Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon?"
He died in his sleep at his London home, said the agent, Jean Diamond.

In 1989, Queen Elizabeth II honored him with a Commander of the Order of the British Empire for his many roles.
He is survived by his wife, Maroussia, and two sons. Funeral arrangements were not announced.
