Jonathan Pryce [SEP] 2010s
In 2015, he joined the cast of the HBO series "Game of Thrones" in Season 5 as the High Sparrow. Pryce admitted that one of the main reasons he took on the role was because of how influential the character is plot-wise. While initially being quite sceptical about "sword and sorcery" shows, Pryce later had a change of heart after his positive experiences on the "Thrones" sets. In 2015, he also appeared at The Globe Theatre as Shylock in "The Merchant of Venice". His real life daughter Phoebe played Shylock's daughter Jessica. In 2015, he joined the cast of "The Healer" starring with Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Camilla Luddington, and Jorge Garcia.
