Davos is King Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Supposedly he was offered a role, anyone know which role? I like Brian Cox, would've been a cool addition to the show :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gendry_Goldeneyes Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 do you know what season that was rumored? i kinda feel like i remember that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rat Kook Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Supposedly he was offered a role, anyone know which role? I like Brian Cox, would've been a cool addition to the show :P Are you serious? Brian Cox? That is both awesome and bizarre. It also makes me hopeful for Oldtown, as I could see him being a Maester in training or something haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livball2012 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 wyman motherf***ing manderly. or just wyman manderly. he would be an amazing fit for either one. honestly at this point though I don't care who plays him, I just want to see wyman make it to the show. even if will smith was casted for the role i would be ecstatic.

I saw the name Brian Cox in the thread title and I had to pop in! I agree with you, Wyman Manderly played by Brian Cox would have been great!

ctid1977 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I don't know why but the first thing I thought of when I saw the title was the physics Professor come TV presenter, I thought maybe he could have a funny cameo until I remembered there was an actor of the same name!

Hutch Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 If the kindly man hadn't already been written out, he would be great for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryk Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Thought he was offered Robert Baratheon but it went to Robert Addy, who subsequently nailed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rat Kook Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Oh... I didn't know there was an actor called Brian Cox. In my last comment I was talking about Brian Cox the physicist. Everything seems to make a lot more sense now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithras Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Imagine the physicist Brian Cox giving lectures about Quantum Physics at the Citadel. The grey sheep would definitely poison his porridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rat Kook Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Haha, or they'd expel him like Qyburn. A man should not know so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Gabe Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Howland Reed? Brian Cox is great. I've always loved his rather more subtle portrayal of Dr. Hannibal Lecktor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuRo Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I assume you mean Brian Cox the actor and not the physics professor? Brian Cox as Lord Manderly (or fulfilling the same role) would've been great. Unfortunately the people of the North (and even wildlings) has been established as mostly having Northern English accents rather than Scottish (with no one apart from Pryat Pree of all people seeming to speak in a Scottish accent, as far as I remember) so his Scottish accent might sound out of place, although perhaps it wouldn't be too bad since it could indicate he's from a different area of the North (although you would expect a Manderly from White Harbor to sound more like people from southern Westeros rather than even more different). Not sure what role he might have been offered that actually exists in the show, possibly a very minor one, is there any source for when this was (if it is even confirmed true)?

Martin Lasarte Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Maybe he was offered the part of the High Sparrow?(BTW, Jonathan Pryce looks a lot like Pope Francis.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyman Manderly's Meat Pies Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 My first thought was when Benecio Del Toro was rumored for Star Trek Into Darkness, once that slipped through, Kahn was confirmed in my mind. I'm less sure, and a little biased, but god I hope it's Wyman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igziabeher Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 You sure it wasn't former NFL linebacker Brian Cox? Now that would've been a trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
