Since joining the global hit TV series, 'Game of Thrones', life hasn't been the same for veteran actor Jonathan Pryce. His involvement in the series meant he's recognized more frequently on the street. He joined the cast as the religious leader, the High Sparrow. But the 69-year-old British actor revealed he wasn't a fan of "Thrones" before joining season five.

He said, though he knew "Thrones" was a worldwide success, its genre didn't really appeal to him. The thing that changed his mind was the script, which had the High Sparrow a role in reversing the situation and making a lasting repercussion in King's Landing -- one of the show's key locations. Pryce said he had enjoyed playing the role.
