The “Game of Thrones” prequel hit big numbers during its early days, making it the best premiere in HBO history. Taking a look at the first reactions, One of the points that audiences have praised the most is Matt Smith’s brilliant work as Prince Daemon Targaryen..
However, in an interview for The Hollywood Reporter, the actor surprised by assuring that he hesitated long before accepting his role in the series: “I was in a parking lot and my agent was like, ‘There’s a role on the new show that’s a’ Game of Thrones’ prequel.”Oh I do not know. It is difficult right? It is difficult to follow. Haven’t we seen it already?But the offer has not disappeared. Then it came out again, I went to a test and that’s it. “.
Finally, the actor best known for his famous role in ‘Doctor Who’ clarified why he ended up accepting the offer: “I heard Paddy Considine was in the show too. He had already been offered the role of King Viserys, and I was a huge Paddy fan and had always wanted to work with him.. So it was a great draw. “.
“And then there are so many elements in Daemon. I love the relationship with his brother. He is a brilliant character because you never know what he is thinking. I liked that ambiguity. There is a cruelty to her personality that I think is very interesting, to see the characters behave so badly. But anyway, this comes from what you think is legitimate. “Smith added.
Who is Daemon Targaryen?
Daemon plays a pivotal role in the plot of “The Dragon’s House”. He is the confrontational and violent brother of King Viserys I Targaryen, who is missing a firstborn son to clarify the royal line.
