19 Things That Almost Completely Changed Game Of Thrones

18. Danny Dyer Wanted To Be In It

If you're British and talented, there's a very good chance that you've been close to being cast in Game Of Thrones by the sheer law of statistics. With more than 200 characters, it's hard to imagine that anyone hailing from the UK hasn't already been called up for a guest slot, but not so, according to a recent interview with Z-movie star Danny Dyer. The poor man's Jason Statham, Dyer has something of a reputation for bad film-making - which is like saying Nic Cage doesn't always make the best career decisions - and he revealed to TV chat show host Jonathan Ross that he has auditioned unsuccessfully three times for the show, including for the role of Pyper. Was It A Good Change? Anything that keeps Danny Dyer out of serious acting gigs has got to be classed as a victory.
