probably doesnt want to be typecasted, alot of actors are unfortunately typecasted.

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 22 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I feel bad for a few of the actors who aren't in eternal denial about the show being a imploded cultural black hole.

I mean, the story is over. It's not like there's anything else for him to go back to, is there?

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

They could say the last season wasn't cannon and try again, otherwise totally agree.

If studios can milk even dead characters, how much more for characters that ended up surviving at the end. If there's no story, I'm sure they'll be happy to make one.

He’s been dead before

[–] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 9 points 16 hours ago

This was his response to him coming back to the role for the audiobook. He just did Lockheart in new Harry Potter books so it was a natural question.

But who's got a better story than Jon Snow? Ah right, Bran did.

think it was a joke about what they said in the show in the kings moot or whatever before declaring him king

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 hours ago

It clearly was

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

They were taking about rebooting the last season I think ?

[–] dkppunk@piefed.social 3 points 11 hours ago

I would be ok if they did this and replaced everyone as long as we got a better ending. They can even put name tags on everyone so we know who is who. We got a coffee cup in one episode, I think name tags would be fine.

This just means they haven’t offered him enough yet

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 11 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Kit.. Didn’t Connery ever teach you anything.

NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN.

[–] bklyn@piefed.social 4 points 14 hours ago

A film that Connery should definitely have said Dr. No to

[–] kinkles@sh.itjust.works 11 points 20 hours ago

and by it i mean my peanits

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

He's super keen to be in Harry Potter tho

"I can accept being a transphobe but I draw the line at bad writing and plot structure."

Kit Harington probably.

[–] Dionysus@leminal.space 11 points 18 hours ago

Having watched the last season, you have got to at least understand his point.

[–] Prove_your_argument@piefed.social 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I'd bet a substantial amount of money that eventually he will play the part for another pile of money. Probably not for a few years though unless other work dries up. It's not like he was making Friends level money or would ever make anything like those actors make even today in residuals.

Just takes a story set in the future after the events of GoT and a desire for more spending money. Articles mention his net worth being around 10-15m, which is enough to never work if you're content living a upper middle class life... but not enough to really live anything remotely extravagantly.

[–] Yeller_king@reddthat.com 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't his wife (also from GoT) super rich?

[–] Prove_your_argument@piefed.social 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

4m net worth?

At one point I did the math and dividends from 4k in dividend stocks gets you like 100k/year. Hardly “super rich” when houses and condos are practically a million bucks in HCOL

[–] Lfrith@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

But, when its an indefinite source of 100k for essentially life that it covers the monthly cost of mortgage which ends up steadier than the unpredictability of rent I think that is super rich in my eyes.

Because the big thing is the continued 100k isn't unpredictable like the uncertainty of the job market, which can get worse as people get older with companies looking to lay them off for the next generation who will take less and new skills.

So it might not seem the stereotypical super rich of private jets and mansion, but once you look at the stability of the money source it is deceptively super rich. Like the millionaire next door type rich, and the type of rich that would take the average person decades and decades of saving and investments turning out well to attain and be super old by then.

I don't even know what your point is. Sure, almost everyone in the world would be set for life with 4m. It's still only enough to provide means for a very modest life with dividends in cities like Boston, LA, NYC...

We usually successful performers burn through their monies quick because with no need to work, you can blow cash REAL quick. Few are so disciplined as to live on something like 4m forever if they weren't brought up with wealth and the understanding to live frugally.
