If you’re familiar with “Westworld” star Jimmi Simpson from memorable roles on “House of Cards” and “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” you may have expected the actor to play a very different part on HBO’s new sci-fi drama. And as it turns out, he could have.
Simpson told TheWrap that in an alternate universe, we might have seen him star in “Westworld” as his character’s obnoxious buddy Logan (Ben Barnes), who spits out lines about putting “memories in the spank bank.”
“I actually auditioned for both Logan and William, and there were just a couple of scenes they created for the audition that didn’t actually exist in the show,” he explained.
