According to Collider’sTherese Lacson, who was on the ground at NYCC, Horowitz asked the trio to share the worst note that a director has ever given them on the show.
Quick to bite, Carney, who appears in the fantasy series asKing Aegon II Targaryen, was eager to deliver a damning answer.
But, his own cooler head quickly prevailed, as he realized that he should perhaps consult with his co-worker on the matter first.
The reign of House Targaryen begins with this prequel to the popular HBO seriesGame of Thrones.Based on George R.R. Martin’sFire & Blood,House of the Dragonis set nearly 200 years beforeGame of Thrones, telling the story of the Targaryen civil war with King Viserys.
Turning to Frankel, who playsSer Criston Cole, Carney seemed to ask his co-star if he was allowed to say what was on his mind.
With a simple head shake, Frankel motioned to Carney that the actor should keep his experience to himself on this one.
Intrigued to know who his fellowHouse of the Dragonactors were talking about, Smith, who appears in the role asDaemon Targaryen,leaned in and seemingly agreed with the pair, although no names were dropped.
While he shut down the drama for the day, Frankel told the crowd, In a few years, whenHouse of the Dragonis all over, I will tell you what this director once told me, but I cant say it now.
Let the ‘House of the Dragon’ Speculation Begin
Over its two-season run,House of the Dragonhas welcomed in just a small handful of visionaries to back each episode.
With seven helmers total, the directorial credits go toMiguel Sapochnik,Greg Yaitanes,Clare Kilner,Geeta Vasant Patel,Alan Taylor,Andrij Parekh,andLoni Peristere.
While we wont go any deeper than that, the selection lineup isnt too heavy for sleuths to do their thing and find out the answer.
Withtwo more seasons to gountilHouse of the Dragoncomes to an end, it may be quite some time until Frankel feels comfortable revealing who gave him a bad piece of advice and what it was.
