7 Actors Who Were Almost Cast on Game of Thrones

The star of critical hits like The Wire and The Affair nearly got a part on the show after it had begun its run. West told The Huffington Post that it was too much of a time commitment: "It was a lovely part, a good part. I'm going to regret it. My problem is, I've got four kids, and at the moment, I'm reluctant to be away from home for a long time. I can get a lot of work in London and still be at home." As for the part, West admitted that he didn't remember what it was.
