10 More Harry Potter Stars We Would Love To Join Game Of Thrones
7. John Hurt
Iconised as 'that guy from Alien whose chest exploded', John Hurt is one of the most prominent British actors of his generation. From the above-mentioned Alien (1979) to Orwellian classic Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984), he has enjoyed a rich and varied career. What better way to round off a career than a stint over at HBO's most popular show?
Hurt had something of a resurgence in cult appeal more recently, starring in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008), the Hellboy films, and of course as wandsmith Mr. Ollivander in the Potter series.
Max von Sydow played the token 'old man' of Thrones as the Three Eyed Raven, but also meeting his demise this year, we need some more mature males in the cast. John Hurt's Shakespearean training, and six-decade career, more than reach the criteria for a Thrones cast member.
