JMO but Jonathan Pryce looks too short to plays Prince Phillip.

Yassssssss

. . . . . . . . . . . That's right, Christ is BACK... Planet Earth get ready, it's about to pop off... proveiamnothim (dot)com Christisback (dot)com Proveimnothim (dot)com Prove I'm not... . . . . . . . . . . .

Perfect choice!

To me, he will always be Jack from Jumpin’ Jack Flash

It just gets worse and worse, should never have changed original cast. TheCrown

Great choice!!!

Wow what a great choice. Such a great actor

Will they get equal pay?

He is going to nail this part!

Nooooo

anna_cass

Appropriately creepy pedo look

How disappointing I was expecting the role to be played by a woman, gender swap. There's so many good actress like Madonna, Britney spears and Kim Kardashian who would have played a brilliant Prince Philip.

A wonderful choice!

I’m surprised no one has mentioned (at least from what I’ve seen) that his role as Governor Swann is way more memorable than his role in Game of Thrones.

Wait what!? He looks nothing like Prince Phillip... He's the pope! 😉

So glad! He's just brilliant.

He is going to need a shave!

Omg we love this podcast

Excellent choice. A very fine actor. I wonder who will be the queen mother.

Great choice. He’ll do cantankerous well.

Good actor but I can’t see him as Philip

scary likeness ❤️

Yikes why “Oscar nominated, game of thrones star” like we know who johnathan price is. Simply say his name or choose one

Oh my goodness. Jonathan Pryce is my favourite actor. I guess I will have to start watching The Crown now.

The High Sparrow and Dolores Umbridge as Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth for the final season of TheCrown? Bold move netflix.

croftyvetnurse omg yes

Yessssss

Shameless!

EEEEEEEEEEErrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr what does one do CUT

davidmackau An amazing actor who never disappoints, even if he’s in a bad film

Great news

Love this guy, since way back with his Infinity commercials in the 80’s

Doesn't Jonathan Pryce eventually play everyone?

I don't see it

Quite clearly should’ve been Walder Frey!!!

The casting post season 1 & 2 has been terrible across the board. I know we’re not looking for body doubles but between Olivia Colman and Helena Bonham Carter, season 3 of TheCrownNetflix was unwatchable.

Oh so are they doing a 6th season again now?

This is great news but didn't they confirm a whole ago that there would only be five seasons not six?

shaneharris “What’s that I smell in the air, the American dream?”

Good grief. It will take a few years before we get anything approaching the truth. British Tory actors/liars.

OMG!!! It was either him or James Cromwell - both brilliant.

At least the show is consistent at never casting an actor as Philip who actually looks or behaves like Philip.

Who are the casting as Philip’s close buddy Jimmy Savile? casting Epstein pedophelia RoyalFamily

so the high sparrow and dolores umbridge rule england

Will he do his own motorcar accident stunts?

Pryce was in Miss Saigon. Nuff said.

Never mind 'Game of Thrones' Pryce was in 'Brazil'

Great choice!!!!!! Looking forward to it!

Perfect choice. Jonathan Pryce is a good actor.

Didn’t go so well for the last royal who invited him into the fold...then again didn’t go so well for him, either...

Jonathan Pryce is a class act 🙂

So Dolores Umbridge and the High Sparrow are playing Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip ... I can't wait!

Perfect

Brilliant actor, horrible casting.

Who else but someone with the patience of a pope! Yay

Wow! I cannot wait! Who’s playing DIANA

The talent ✨

Great choice!

Strange choice. His demeanour is nothing like the prince. Mind you they cast Olivia Colman and that was terrible.

Perfect! He’s always a joy to watch.

Love him!

Ah! The Master succeeds The Doctor bbcdoctorwho DrWhoOnline DoctorWho_BBCA DWMtweets comicrelief emmafreud TheCurseOfFatalDeath

I have to be honest - I found this last season to be incredibly boring.

I don't know if I'd be that proud about being cast as elderly Philip....

'Game of Thrones' star my butt, what about the dozens of far more interesting roles he played before the Lord of the Narnia Wars nonsense?

Brilliant!

Why would anyone want to be typecast as a Pedophile? SaveTheChildren

Love this man.

Who have they cast as Jeffrey Epstein?

Great choice! Jonathan Pryce is fantastic in everything he does.

This is terrible casting because Jonathan Pryce still looks like a living person and not an ancient cursed mummy in tweed.

Can’t wait

Don’t you mean ‘The Curse of Fatal Death’ Star Jonathan Pryce?

Jumping Jack Flash getting the call.

Fabulous Casting. Lots of awards coming to this group.

Great actor, sure he'll nail it!

I thought it was going to be emperor palpatine.

Final scene: Phone rings. Prince Philip picks up. 'Hello? Yes, hello Jeffrey. Yes. Yes. I'd love to' Fade to black.

He will be superb, as in all roles he has played.

Can’t wait TheCrown

White euro fascist patriarchal misogynistic barbaric imperialism propaganda

I can really see him doing that role justice, great choice.

jackk_mack your mate

... waiting for the Twitter tantrums of “how dare they cast an *old* *white* *man* as Prince Philip*!!” ... me, I’ll be protesting because they didn’t hire someone who was actually a prince.

I don't watch The Crown, but I'm tempted to now. . .

GOT star I don’t know about that but what I would love to know is, who’s this man’s agent?

interesting casting

How disappointing I was expecting the role to be played by a woman, gender swap. There's so many good actress like Madonna, Britney spears and Kim Kardashian who would of played a brilliant Prince Philip.

I love JP so much he deserves better than this...

Bravo!

Will he play Prince Phillip like the racist nazi that he is ?

The casting of the 3 leads is so interesting, not who I would have thought of at all (which is why I'm not a casting agent 😀), could be amazing!

In US films & TV plain looking characters are always played by beautiful actors even if the role demands an ugly face. Prince Philip was an extremely handsome man, so they get someone less than attractive to play him. There must be some commercial logic to this somewhere.

Are they casting for Prince Andrew? Or he not in it? Would make sense if he wasn't; you know, because he rapes children.

High Sparrow may have gotten deep fried by cersei but still flying the coup .👍

The casting director needs to win an EMMY right now.

I like this

He’s fantastic

I think nobody can really embody Philip like Matt Smith did, but appearance-wise, he certainly looks more like an older Philip than Tobias. Hopefully, he can bring the sass and wit we all love Philip for like his predecessors. 🙌🏻

'Game of Thrones' star. Mais bordel vous avez jamais vu Brazil

mavericksmovies Oh thank fck. I thought he died for a second.

BITCH I THOUGHT HE DIED. Yall need to stop making headlines like that

But Prince Philip is very tall . 🤔

GraceRandolph 👀

They mean James Bond Star TheBondComplex

He does not disappoint to play historical legends

An excellent choice.

Looks like him
