Brian Cox rejects Game of Thrones and Pirates

British actor Brian Cox, who will turn 76 this year, is once again popular because of the American drama "The Battle of Succession", and recently published his memoir "Put the Rabbit in the Hat", when talking about his Hollywood career, he admitted that he regretted turning down the "Game of Thrones" offer, but did not regret rejecting "Pirates of the Caribbean". Earlier, he also thought on talk shows that Johnny Depp was an overrated actor.

Cox was originally invited to play Robert

In the book, he recalls that the "Game of Thrones" crew invited him to play Robert Baratheon, but he did not want to act, and eventually the crew found Mark Artie. Brian Cox said: "I'm often asked if I've been invited to play Game of Thrones — because all the other bastards did it — and the answer is, yes. I was supposed to be a king named Robert Baratheon, who was killed by a wild boar in the first season. I didn't know much about Game of Thrones, didn't know if he was an important character, and didn't search for it. ”

He defended his regrets by saying that every member of the crew made a fortune because of Game of Thrones' undeniable popularity. However, he doesn't seem to care too much, as his character is killed at the beginning of the series.

Crazy Eye Moody

He also writes that almost every British actor with a head and a face played the Harry Potter series, and he didn't, "I may have played brandon Gleason as the mad-eyed Man Moody, but Brandon was more fashionable than me at the time." That's the rule of the line, so he gets the role. Moreover, he is much better than me. ”

Another role Brian Cox rejected was the role of Governor in "Pirates of the Caribbean," played by "Succession to the Pope" actor Jonathan Presley (who also played Game of Thrones).

Jonathan Pres plays Governor General

He said: "The director of 'Pirates of the Caribbean' is Gore Verbinski, I made the American version of Midnight Murder Bells, he is a lovely guy, I may have tarnished his reputation because I turned down an offer to play the role of governor. But of all the characters in the film, this is the most thankless. ”

Stills from Edward Scissorhands

The reason for rejecting "Pirates of the Caribbean", he also analyzed, is that this film is Johnny Depp's solo show as Captain Jack. He thinks Johnny Depp is overrated, "He's exaggerated, he's overrated." Brian Cox cites Edward Scissorhands as an example, "Admit it, if your hands are like this and your face is painted with pale scars, you hardly have to do anything as an actor (there is expressiveness)." In fact, he didn't do much better, didn't play that role much better. ”
