Actor Tobias Menzies will take over the role of Prince Philip from Matt Smith for seasons three and four of Netflix drama 'The Crown'. Paul Bettany was originally poised to take the role but his deal to join the show fell through due to a scheduling conflict. Menzies, whose credits include fellow hit shows 'Game of Thrones' and 'Outlander', joins a roster of new faces for seasons three and four including Olivia Colman as Queen Elizabeth and Helena Bonham Carter as Princess Margaret. Both are taking over for Claire Foy and Vanessa Kirby respectively.
