You will never guess what bothered the actor the most.
When House Of The Dragon was first released, both the showrunners and the cast had a heavy burden of responsibility on their shoulders.
Not only did they have to please readers with a quality adaptation of their favorite story, but they also had to regain the trust of those who were disappointed by the infamous Game of Thrones ending.
Fortunately, the premiere went well and now fans are looking forward to the release of the second season and the return of their favorite actors to their respective roles.
One actor who will most likely not return for season 2 is Paddy Considine, whose character, King Viserys I, died in episode 8 of season 1.
Although audiences were blown away by his performance, his character’s story was over very soon, so the only appearance fans can hope for now are the flashbacks of his past.
Considine himself doesn’t seem to be too bummed about his exit, instead, he’s happy to revisit some fond memories from the filming days.
Although the majority of them were mostly amazing, there were a few bumps in the road here and there.
In his interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actor shared some interesting details, like how much time he had to spend in the makeup room to get Viserys’ look, or how they had to reshoot some of the most intense scenes.
One on-set inconvenience stuck with Considine particularly well:
“My biggest problem on this job was, like ‘Who are all these people,'” he shared laughingly. “Nobody really knew who anybody was, and who they were playing, so you were going: ‘And now you’re who? And are we related?’ That took a while to figure out”.
With so many cast changes and time jumps it is no wonder that Paddy Considine, who was the only person to portray Viserys throughout the season, got lost in all the names and faces.
Besides, when you’re dealing with Targaryens, relationship status is always extremely important, so it would be much better to ask and be safe than sorry.
To see where the story takes the characters after King’s death, stay tuned for House Of The Dragon Season 2.
Production on this season has already begun, so keep an eye out for more behind-the-scenes news and updates.
