Maryland's House of Delegates may have found its very own Frank Underwood in Del. William Frick (D-Montgomery) on Thursday.

Frick responded with a threat toward the House of Cards producers who issued an ultimatum to the governor in January. The producers said they would cease filming the show in the state of Maryland if they didn't receive more tax credit money.

Frick told the Senate that if production leaves, the state could use eminent domain to seize, purchase or condemn the show's sets, equipment and property, the Washington Post reported.

The delegates approved Frick's threat with minimal opposition from other members and barely any debate or a roll-call vote. Frick said he had to think in terms of how Underwood, the show's main character played by Kevin Spacey, and how he would handle the situation.

"I literally thought: 'What is an appropriate Frank Underwood response to a threat like this?'" he said. "Eminent domain really struck me as the most dramatic response."

Fellow delegate member Sam Arora (D-Montgomery) was astonished at how the situation turned out and tweeted his response to the situation.

"How did this happen?! Is @billfrick the new Frank Underwood?" Arora asked his Twitter followers. "All that and more will be revealed in the coming days."

The next step forward has to be taken by the state's Senate on whether or not to approve Frick's eminent domain proposal followed by a signature from Gov. Martin O'Malley. But, according to the Post, it seems unlikely that the Senate would approve it because they already voted 45 to 1 last week to raise the tax credits in the coming year to $18.5 million.

Under the language of Frick's proposal, the amendment states that "under certain circumstances" the Department of Business and Economic Development can "exercise certain power of eminent domain" on a production company that has already claimed more than $10 million in tax credits and then leaves the states.

Last week, Spacey socialized with lawmakers at an exclusive reception at an Annapolis wine bar where the actor gave a speech and provided photo opportunities in an effort to whip up enough votes to raise the tax credits.

Frick said he's a fan of the show but wasn't a fan of Media Rights Capital's ultimatum to the Gov. O'Malley and said the action "went a little far."

"It's a terrific show," Frick said on the House flood. "I love it. You probably love it."
