Emma D’Arcy stuns for SHADOWPLAY Magazine!

Henry Ashton (Daeron) praises Sam Spruell (Maekar) for the read through of ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ “Sam Spruell. Who played my dad. I don't think I've ever been so sort of taken with someone at a read through before. We did read through, and he was so, like, so efficient. And you just couldn't take your eyes off him across from the table. And you could hear a pin drop around the table every time he started speaking. And he commanded this sort of power,” “I think I learned from that, is that sometimes at read throughs, people feel a bit embarrassed and they don't want to act. Right? They don't want to, like, give it some beans. They want to just, like, sort of lean back in their chair and sort of read it and imagine there's those people as well. And, like, I understand that and I can. But he was, like, leaning across the table and he was just, like, chewing the words and was like, that's fucking cool. That, like, I'm gonna do that for now. Cause why not? Like you're there to hear the script, how it's written. The writers want to hear it. Fucking act. I mean, you don't have to start getting up and putting on a costume.” (Source: youtu.be/GFxPr2R9gRA?si…)

Henry Ashton (Daeron) praises Peter Claffey (Dunk) as an amazing lead for the cast of ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ “Peter Claffey, the lead, who is such a good friend of mine now. I learned how you should behave as the number one on the cast list.”

Henry Ashton who portrays Daeron Targaryen in ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ says this is the happiest he’s been about his performance “I think the happiest I've been with, maybe just my own sort of performance or how it came out would be A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.” “I think the whole show, you always think when you, when we were in it, we're like, I think this is a really fucking good show. But you almost don't want to say it. And then it comes out and people really like it.” “You're like, fuck. Okay, cool. I'm just glad people sort of responded to it. And responded to it in the way that they did, and they don't think it's shit.” (Source: youtu.be/GFxPr2R9gRA?si…)

Henry Ashton talks about Daeron Targaryen’s relationship with alcoholism and dreams in ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ “I loved the relationship between like alcohol and dreams. Alcohol will suppress REM sleep. So you don't dream. And that's why Daeron drinks so much, is to suppress these dreams that absolutely terrify him.” “So that I found really sort of fun with Daeron was like, he's an alcoholic. But it's not just because he likes to drink, it's because he needs to drink. And I just, I loved that sort of desperation that he had.” (Source: youtu.be/GFxPr2R9gRA?si…)
