Pryce: Game Of Thrones Never Appealed To Me

Game of Thrones star Jonathan Pryce says that he initially never wanted to do the show but now rates it as a "great contrast" to his performances in King Lear and The Merchant of Venice. The veteran actor, who plays High Sparrow, told Sky News he was offered a part in series one but turned it down. "There's lots of blockbuster series of things to do with fantasy, space and all that that I'd never seen and didn't want to see, and Game Of Thrones initially fell into that slot, so I passed on it.
