House Of The Dragon Star Ryan Corr Was Blown Away By Its Massive Sets

gamerant.com:

HBO'sHouse of the Dragon is set to release later this year and as it gets closer to show time, several members of the cast have been sharing little bits and pieces about what it was like to shoot the show. One detail that House of the Dragon star Ryan Corr shared was that he was quite impressed with the size of the set pieces.

For the uninitiated, House of the Dragon is a prequel series for the uber-popular Game of Thrones on HBO. This particular series will more closely examine the period of time in Westeros when House Targaryen held sway over the kingdom. The ten-episode first season of the series is based on George R.R. Martin's 2018 book Fire & Blood. The events of the first season will take place about 200 years before Game of Thrones kicked off.

It should come as no surprise that the sets for House of Dragon are plenty impressive considering how expansive and detailed they were. Still, Australian actor Corr couldn't help but be blow away by the size and scope of the sets he was working on. Speaking with If, Corr compared the working environment to a full-scale Shakespeare play, but one that had actual jousting tournaments going on alongside full-scale castles that were equipped with fire caldrons on their rooves. «The sheer size of it was something I was amazed by,» the actor told the publication.

While Corr has a relatively well filled out resume as an actor, he's mostly stuck to his native Australia, and the projects he's worked on have a mostly smaller scale. Knowing that, it makes some sense that he would be the one on the House of the Dragon cast who would be most impressed by the size and scale of the HBO show's sets. Other stars like
