John Bradley, known for his role as Samwell Tarly in "Game of Thrones," had two movies out this month: "Moonfall" and "Marry Me," which stars Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson.
Bradley said after GoT, "No one wanted to take a chance on me." He received scripts for Samwell-like roles but turned them down so as to not be typecast.
His agent told him that J.Lo wanted him to for the role of Colin, the manager to J.Lo's Kat Valdez in "Marry Me."
“I said: ‘Send me the audition script.’ But [my agent] replied: ‘There’s no audition, she wants you. She’s a fan of the show (GoT) and seen you in interviews.’ Now a romcom couldn’t be more different to Game of Thrones! It was the reset I needed.”
“She’s so amazing,” he says. “I’ve worked with many wonderful actors like Jim Broadbent and Peter Dinklage [both on Game Of Thrones] who I admire, but then you work with [Lopez] and she’s not only a good actor but also a singer and a dancer and she’s respected in the fashion world too. She’s reached the top of so many forms of entertainment, you can’t help but be inspired by her.”
His next role is in "The Three-Body Problem," GoT creators DB Weiss and David Benioff’s first series at Netflix. GoT alum Liam Cunningham is also part of the cast.
“If David and Dan pull this off, it will change the rules of TV again,” Bradley teases excitedly. “Fingers crossed, it will have the impact they want. I’ve never read a script so ambitious. I’ve never wanted something to succeed so much because, if it does, the game is changed.”
Something, something about GoT ending, same 'ol, same 'ol response.
