Some amazing talents were offered and ended up rejecting the opportunity to travel through Westeros when a small show called "Game of Thrones" came to knock on their door. Brian Cox openly admitted to refuse the role of the hacked show due to money problems while late Ray Stevenson also spent the "Game of Thrones" And instead, it continued to appear in a series like "Black Float" and "Ahsoka". Interestingly, it turns out that the Athonatan Price has almost missed that ship-that is, before signing as a mild driven but impressive manipulative high sparrow (who turned the whole city against Lena Hady's cervical Laser).

Talking to BBC Radio 4 In 2015, Price explained that he was initially concerned about entering the Game of Thrones Universe. "I said no (...) all I did was to browse (the script) and look at the names, to look at these strange names, a strange dialogue and I thought," Oh, it's not for me, "he recalls. Fortunately, the more time he spent getting to know the character of High Sparrow, the more he warmed up on the idea, especially when it comes to his role in the larger narrative. "He enters the story (when) everyone is well established, the good and the bad," Price noted.

The high sparrow was not the only option thrown on Price's path. In fact, he was actually invited to deal with the role of the show before.

Season 5 may not be The best season of "Game of Thrones", But that certainly benefited from Price's high sparrow quietly, to manage to mix things. However, he could join the series much earlier. However, again, the problem was that the world of giants and white pedestrians really did not click on the actor. "It's a genre I never complain about," he said Sky News In 2016. "There is a very blockbuster series of things to do with the fantasy, the space and all that I have never seen and I didn't want to see, and" Game of Thrones "initially fell into that slot, so I passed on it."

While the actor did not specify which gig initially offered (he would make a great Taiwan Lastrist), he made the right choice. "But they came back with the 5th season with the image of the high sparrow and was too good a chance to spend this time," he added. Price was right to do so, as the sparrow became one of the most influential and interesting players in the show, throwing the world of Cersey from Kilter before she finally got his upper arm. Poor high sparrow. He may have put his faith in the seven, but it was just not a match for the remaining head of the Lanister family and some carefully placed canners for fire.
