House of the Dragon's Matt Smith Breaks Down Daemon and ... (Screen Rant)

House of the Dragon star Matt Smith shares some insight into Daemon and Rhaenyra Targaryen's unique relationship in the series premiere.

As Smith alludes to in his comments, Daemon butts heads with about every character in House of the Dragon, especially his older brother, the King, and his Hand, Ser Otto Hightower (Ifans). By the end of the first episode, "The Heirs of the Dragon," Rhaenyra and Daemon are clearly on opposing sides of the show's primary conflict. [House of the Dragon](https://screenrant.com/tag/house-of-the-dragon/) star Matt Smith shares some insight into Daemon and Rhaenyra Targaryen's unique relationship in the series premiere. The Doctor Who alum broke down the uncle and niece duo's special bond demonstrated during the series premiere, detailing how she is one of the few characters he will actually "concede to." Faced with an impossible decision, the King must choose between his hot-headed younger brother, Prince Daemon (Smith), and his firstborn child, Princess Rhaenyra (Alcock). Besides Smith, the [House of the Dragon cast](https://screenrant.com/house-dragon-game-thrones-targaryen-cast-characters-explained/) includes Paddy Considine, Milly Alcock, Rhys Ifans, Emily Carey, Steve Toussaint, Eve Best, Fabien Frankel, and Graham McTavish.

'House Of The Dragon' Stars Cast Themselves As 'Sesame Street ... (Forbes)

Matt Smith would like Daemon to be played by Big Bird, but Milly Alcock thinks Count Von Count is more fitting. Here's all the Sesame Street characters the ...

“He’d be Balerion the Black Dread,” says Condal, referring to one of the most monstrous dragons in Westerosi history. [ this blog](https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/#196d790943ab) for all my TV recaps and reviews including every episode of House of the Dragon and the upcoming Rings of Power. “I think we need to be Statler and Waldorf,” he says, referring to himself and co-showrunner and Game Of Thrones director Miguel Sapochnik. Corlys is certainly a grouch, but once again Milly Alcock has a better idea: “Oscar the Grouch” she said, should “play Rhys.” She’s referring to Rhys Ifans who plays the ever-gloomy Otto Hightower, Hand of King Viserys, in the show. Some House Of The Dragon stars wanted the same Sesame Street character to play different House roles in this hypothetical parody. In the sketch, the lords and ladies of Jesteros need to figure out who will be the next King and to do so they play a game of chairs. At this point a red-haired Muppet pops up and says “The monster is blue and full of errors.” Olivia Cooke, who plays the grownup version of Alicent Hightower, isn’t much better when it comes to Sesame Street trivia. “He’s like a vampire when he counts.” To be fair, Daemon is definitely more of a vampiric character in the show—ruthless, white-haired and pale. It’s musical chairs, of course, which is basically as sensible a means to determine who gets to be king as picking the next spoiled—likely developmentally stunted—male brat in line based entirely on luck, age and Y chromosomes. The chairs the game is actually played with include a Baseball Bat Throne, a Ping Pong Paddle Throne and a Nine-Iron Throne. House Of The Dragon is a very, very dark and disturbing grimdark fantasy show, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun.

House of the Dragon's Fabien Frankel calls Matt Smith and the cast ... (Virgin Radio)

Westeros might be a terrifying world full of dragons and power struggles, but the set of House of the Dragon was anything but scary.

And I think he's making a real drama of it.” Fabien joked. Amazingly fun to sort of hang around with, and he'll regale you with stories from the past. I think he's fine. “And Matt is like a big brother. “It's quite a naughty cast. When asked what it was like working with the talented duo on set, Fabien told virginradio.co.uk: “They're both, individually, just very different.
