"Stupidly, I turned it down in the early days because they didn't pay enough money," Cox told Vodzilla.co when the site asked him if he'd take a role on the HBO hit.
Cox - who won an Emmy for TNT's 2000 miniseries "Nuremberg," and appeared in HBO's "Deadwood," two "Bourne" movies, and "Braveheart, among many others - didn't mention the role he was offered. But it's clear to him now that the money got better.
"Now they have more money," the 70-year-old Scottish native said. "And I was silly. I was silly, it was silly, because I'm a complete addict now."

"I just watched my friend Ian McShane, and I thought, 'Ooh, Ian's in it,' so I settled down to watch him," Cox said. "And I thought, 'Ian did that?' and immediately I thought, 'God, they must have paid him well,' because I know Ian!"
