Marv you may want to look at the last pageI already posted that.
I knew that...not really![]()
[Kevin] McKidd and I had lunch the other day, and I said to him, Have you been asked to do Game Of Thrones? And he said, Id never do it. Because they stole our ****ing show. He worked out that if Rome had run for the entire seven seasons that it should have run, we would only have finished it last year. And he feels that HBO did Game of Thrones instead of us, so they stole our show. I kind of agree with him. I wont be doing Game Of Thrones, even if they ask me.

Rome was cancelled in 2006. Game Of Thrones started filming in 2010. Numbers do not add up. I think you need to apologize.

One should never need to apologise for what was light-hearted banter..

ROME was a great show that ended way too soon. I can understand why the actors might be pissed about that. Hell, I'm still pissed about the cancellation of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and the fact that DOORWAYS never got a series order (though in hindsight I now see that we would never have been able to do DOORWAYS the way I wanted with 1993 technology and SFX).
GOT is already using two actors from ROME: Ciaran Hinds and Tobias Menzies. But the casting on that show was marvelous, and I am a huge fan of many of the other actors who appeared with them, including Ray Stevenson, Polly Walker, Max Pirkis, Kerry Condon, Ian McNeice, Indira Varma, David Bamber, and... yes... James Purefoy and Kevin McKidd.
Whether any of these actors will ever appear in GAME OF THRONES... well, that's not up to me, and it's not that easy anyway. These are working actors, many of them have other jobs, and we already have a huge cast, so budget is always a concern.
FWIW, I also love the cast of the old I, CLAUDIUS. If Derek Jacobi, Sian Phillips, John Hurt, Brian Blessed, George Baker, and their bunch want to come on GAME OF THRONES, I'd love that too. But hey, as I said, it's not to me, they're probably too busy, and even if they were free, we probably could afford them.
A lot of factors go into casting. That's why I am so amazed by Nina Gold and the job she has done for us.
