Unbelievable but true, the actor who played Largo Winch should have played Oberyn Martell, who finally has the features of Pedro Pascal! And he also said no to Skyfall.

Tomer Sisley returns this week in the third installment of Largo Winchand during his promotion, he obviously does not escape questions about his revelation made in 2016: then at the heart of the TV film Stavisky, the crook of the century, he had confided to TeleStar having refused to play two characters of Game Of Thrones.

Today he explains the reasons for this choice in the same TV magazine:

“I gave up on moving overseas even though I had great opportunities. I refused to play in the series Game Of Thrones to stay with his children. I feel like the years are passing too quickly and I already have regrets. There are days when I feel down and I even regret being an actor. I curse this job that takes me away from my family… but would I have been a good father if I had given up what makes me happy?

At the time, Tomer Sisley had specified which characters the series production had courted him for:

“This is how I had to give up the roles of Oberyn Martell and Daario Naharis in the series. Game Of Thronesbecause I had given my agreement for other projects…”

Too busy for George RR Martin, Tomer Sisley gave way to the charismatic Pedro Pascal (since become a star thanks to the show, then to Narcos, The Mandalorian Or The Last of Us), in the costume of the warrior Oberyn, as well as Ed Skrein (Dead Pool, Alita) Then Michiel Huisman (The Haunting of Hill House), who successively played the bodyguard of the irresistible Daenerys alias Emilia Clarke.

The French actor born in Berlin speaks five languages ​​fluently and has already tried his hand at international productions: he was notably seen in the US comedy The Millers, A Family in the Making, alongside Jennifer Aniston. He could also have played one of James Bond's adversaries in Sky Fallhe recently confided to Léa Salamé:

“F***! Besides that, I think it was bullshit because for me, he was the best James Bond. He was Sky Fall… The movie started with a twenty-minute fight sequence with a character. This was the character they offered me, but he didn't say a word. So I said to them: 'Guys, you can get a stuntman, he'll do it just as well as I can'. I don't see the point. Obviously I want to be in a James Bond (…) but my job is acting. It's not stuntman. So give me something to play and I'll come with joy. But if I don't have a line, if I have nothing to defend as an actor… But yeah, I regret it… Well yes!“
