Henry Ashton also reveals he once auditioned for a main role on 'Game of Thrones.'
But it also brought a character we met back in episode one out of the shadows, shedding a little bit of light on why he is, well, the way he is. It’s Daeron Targaryen, played by Henry Ashton. He’s Egg’s perpetually drunk older brother, so reluctant to fight at Ashford Meadow—as ordered by his family—that he hides out in a roadside inn, losing track of his sibling in the process.
. When he’s finally discovered and dragged back into the fold, he tells a huge lie, accusing Dunk of kidnapping Egg. When he and Dunk meet again in “Seven,” Daeron admits he said that to save face with his father, the perpetually disapproving Maekar. But just when you think Daeron is merely a selfish lush , he brings up the eerie dream he had involving Dunk and a dead dragon, which he believes is prophetic. The Targaryens are an odd family, but this ne’er-do-well with mystical leanings is among the oddest members we’ve met so far. In a new interview with the“When he has this premonition of a dead dragon, he makes assumptions of who that would be and what that means… He doesn’t quite know what it means, but he knows it’s not good for him or his family,” Ashton said. “It’s a shame that such a great power—these dreams and premonitions that he has—are to a man that is unfortunately unable to handle it,” he added, echoing Daeron’s own take on the situation.‘s showrunner, Ira Parker, and director, Owen Harris, had different ideas of whether Daeron is “a good man who’s pretending not to be, or not a good guy but pretending to be.” Ashton went with “a good person, but he’s so consumed with his own problems and pain that he behaves awfully.” There were also two fun anecdotes in Ashton’s interview. One is that Daeron’s character description specifically pointed to the 1987 cult black comedy. The other is that Ashton actually auditioned forback when he was still a student: “It was for Jon Snow. I think they went to every school and auditioned every teenager!”6:04 pmGovee Smart LED Bulbs Drop to Record Low and Each Costs Less Than $10, Work With Alexa and Google AssistantThe History Behind the Trial of Seven in ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ 'Game of Thrones' has prepared us for trials by combat before, but 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' is showing us a version rooted in ancient Westerosi history.'Baldur's Gate 3' was so huge that anything that came after without Larian's involvement was going to feel a bit off for everyone.In 'Seven,' Westeros' most honorable hedge knight learns the heavy price he'll have to pay for his actions in 'The Squire.''Last of Us' showrunner Craig Mazin will work with Hasbro to pick up on the story of Larian's smash hit RPG 'Baldur's Gate 3.'The Truth Really Hurts on This Week’s ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’
