But there was a time when that wasn’t the case. Whether it was because of the grueling overseas filming schedule, gripes with the cast’s payscale, or sheer confusion over the George R.R. Martin-inspired story, here’s a look at some actors who refused Game of Thrones roles…

  1. It's actually hard to predict if a show is going to be great or not. GOT books are not large audience. A lot of people never heard of it before the show. Sometimes Hollywood puts a lot of money on something that doesn't work. Other times everyone predict a show or a movie will be ruined yet it's successful (everyone said Heath Ledger was the worst casting for the joker, or Craig Daniel as James Bond would never work while both movies were huge success). Other examples include movies like suicide squad that had a crazy casting but was terrible (they made huge money though). You can't blame on actors because they couldn't have a clue at the time. It seems obvious now but back in time I guess they had to choose between this and several other opportunities. People try to do their best especially if they are not famous. They have a lot of pressure. You can never tell with certitude that a choice will be the best choice in the future.
