House Of The Dragon Star Turned Down GoT Because It Had Dragons
Paddy Considine, who plays King Viserys Targaryen in HBO’s House of the Dragon, turned down the opportunity to star in Game of Thrones because it had dragons. Miguel Sapcochnik and Ryan Condal’s upcoming series is set to debut on August 21st and serves as a prequel to Game of Thrones. Where the latter series was based on George R.R. Martin’s fantasy novels, A Song of Ice and Fire, House of the Dragon is inspired by Martin’s Fire & Blood and novellas like The Princess and the Queen, which detail the history of the Targaryen dynasty. In addition to Considine, House of the Dragon stars Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Emma D'Arcy, Rhys Ifans, Graham McTavish, Steve Toussaint, Sonoya Mizuno, Ryan Corr, Jefferson Hall, Bill Paterson, and Eve Best.
