Paddy absolutely nailed the depiction of Viserys

[@heavyspoilers]

Yeah he killed it. Deserves an Emmy for episode 8.

[@westnile21]

@@heavyspoilers - Yeah that scene when they’re all at the table and he’s yelling at everybody was absolutely chefs kiss.

[@Al_Anon_Marly]

Thats a fact. Hasn’t been a better performance on this show or the original.

[@batgurrl]

Paddy was so brilliant in that role. I loved hearing his thoughts on what happened with Emma and ‘injuries’ on the throne. Thanks Paul for continuing to bring these ‘extras’

Hope Paddy gets an Emmy, he gave a phenomenal performance.

[@MichaelRose87]

Paddy was amazing as Viserys and the "my love" line was pure brilliance. He really has a deep understanding of who Viserys is and what's going on in his head.

[@victorlgcarvalho]

So when he says "My love" it was the actor's idea... Man, he so deserves that Emmy...

[@1gbuzzin]

Paddy Constantine is an incredible actor

[@markpjf85]

Magnificent totally 💯

[@gmcmurr15]

What an actor Paddy Considine is. He's that Ned Stark figure that was so central to the plot for Season 1. Dude did an incredible job.

[@Knight-Bishop]

I think regardless of the book's take on him that there was inspiration from Baldwin the IV, and his depiction in Kingdom Of Heaven, played by a fully masked Edward Norton. A genuinely good and praised king that only wanted peace and succumbed to supposed disease far too early.

[@gmcmurr15]

@@Knight-Bishop Baldwin and Viserys are alike in a lot of ways. Makes sense for him to be inspiration behind the story.... I love that movie and Edward Norton does a badass job in that role.

[@mholliday2411]

The last words said it all. He never got over Aemma’s death and his hand in it. Also explains why he is so loyal to Rhynarae. Loved this character the more the series went on. Long time PC fan I loved him in the Third Day as well.

[@heltaku9397]

Paddy won me over 100% with his incredible talent. I love Matt Smith's acting as well, but he gets to play the big character types, hero or villain. There's a lot of colorful characters in HotD, in fact, played by great actors. But even though Viserys isn't a grand personality, he immediately became my favorite character because of Paddy's ingenious acting choices.

[@realitylime4896]

I didn’t know much of his work before this show. He was one of my favorite characters in the show because there was more to what was going on with him than was on the screen. Not many actors can do that…they’re just in the scene. Paddy was in the character fully. So impressive!

[@cis4659]

The walk to the throne is a unbelievable moment.

[@mills-cootes9988]

What a brilliant actor, I felt everything that he describes in the interview. This guy has gone under the radar for far too long, only just realised how long after rewatcing Dead Man's Shoes and seeing how young he was. Tyrannosaur is a gem and just showcases his talent across the all aspects of filmmaking. I feel blessed knowing his back catalogue and thrilled more people are introduced to his massive talent

[@Soulwalrus1]

Totally forgot about dead man shoes, such a great film!

[@mills-cootes9988]

@@Soulwalrus1 definitely worth rewatching if you haven't for a while, it still holds up. A young performance from Toby Kebbell is also a highlight (again criminally underrated). Paddy's also exceptional in Peaky Blinders although a little underused

[@booperpotpie9634]

Although I wasn't that enthused about "Wolf" (2021), Paddy Considine was brilliant in the role of the cruel Psychologist. He is a versatile, talented actor, writer, and storyteller.

[@mills-cootes9988]

@@booperpotpie9634 multi faceted, very talented! Just looking at his acting credits didn't even realise it was him in 24 hour party snd had forgotten he was just hot fuzz, know what I'm watching tonight

[@jessilyngray1223]

Give that man an Emmy...I felt his guilt, pain, and depression. He played it so well

[@thephilosopher7173]

Its incredible how they had so many little details in this show. Its one of those shows that doesn't hold your hand, and if you ever watch it again you see a whole new side to everything.

[@CAMERO202]

Paddy was so good. Hope he gets an Emmy nomination

[@ThePlaybackRoom]

That man had me thinking he was dying in real life, truly a masterpiece of an episode. The best episode IMO and the one with the most replay value along with the finale.

[@arisucheddar3097]

It's telling that my first thought was "oh he's looking so much better" lol

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

Paddy was simply amazing! One of the best acting performances I have seen in a TV series.

[@Loki_Yogi]

Thank you for showing us this interview with Paddy! This adds so much context and texture to his character. Much appreciated 🙏

[@ProjectMathesar]

I can't imagine many of the original GoT cast received a personal message from GRRM congratulating them for creating a better character than one he wrote. Big props to Paddy Considine. Emmy-worthy stuff in Ep 8

[@februaryschild0216]

It doesn't help that Rhaenyra looks everything like Aemma.

[@markpjf85]

Even George RR Martin absolutely adores this character that Paddy did to his character viserys the first

[@Nyte-Owl]

The character of Viserys was so moving! One of the best on screen performances I've ever seen.

[@dmgroberts5471]

That moment in the first episode, when they show the funeral pyre, and the camera just pans down to show the baby is on there too...man, gut punch. All the pain and fear she suffered in her last minutes, all for nothing...

[@wyattrussell7496]

The lack of making choices Made his patience poisonous

[@bare365]

Paddy, Did such a great job in his role. There is so much attention to all the details he gave to this character and I am so impressed.🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@patriciafenwick5846]

Paddy was brilliant as Viserys. Best character in the show, he became the character, loved and suffered like the character, a real tear jerker of a performance.

[@joebartolone4472]

Good work, Paul. Thanks as always

[@heavyspoilers]

Thank you

[@princeprocrastinate6485]

Some great insights here! Adds a lot to an already excellent performance.

[@lancemontes]

With so many, Paddy should get an Emmy nomination at the very least

[@Kelticfury]

Thanks for posting this. Good stuff here.

[@thetruthwillout9094]

Paddy Cosidine deserves every single accolade, award nomination and award coming to him. I'm not a GOT fan, HOTD is the only GOT series I have watched but by God, Paddy Cosidine was absolutely immense.

[@batchagaloopytv5816]

theres only one other series you could have watched -

[@fionathwaites1878]

Paddy Constantine the legend 🙌 🤴

[@nicolarudge1748]

I took a real dislike to Paddy Considine after his portrayal of the priest in Peaky Blinders, such a good villain but really put me off, the mark of a good actor!! As Viserys, I take it all back, such an amazing performance, Lord of the tides was masterpiece. I recently lost my dad so the episode was extremely emotive for me, one of the last sentences said as well was ‘no more’ I cried through the entire episode. Matt Smith’s performance as well, the look you have watching someone you love wither away… heartbreaking. Enjoyed the show so much Paddy’s motivation really showed through, deserves major recognition for the role. Looking forward to season 2 x

[@jeffreythomas515]

He truly understood the character. What amazing acting in this series! Rings of Power should take notes. 🥴👍🏼

[@mawortz]

I actually forgot he was an actor playing Viserys

[@keirangrant1607]

Paddy did such justice to Viserys. A lot of characters in Fire and Blood seem more 1 dimensional compared to the GoT series. This makes the story much better IMO. I cant wait to see how the other characters come alive on screen

[@SuperBigBuffetBoi]

Just bought the t-shirt. Where we I download the AR app

[@edwardbuckner5031]

And this is the reason he reaches out to his wife at the end on his death bed. WOW just WOW.

[@originalloverman]

This man was amazing, the whole cast was epic.

[@benjamingoldman3760]

He was absolutely fantastic. Every scene he was in I genuinely was compelled and wanted more.

[@ebetancor217]

Give this man all the awards!!!!

[@SundayViewFishing]

Viserys needed to crown Rhaenyra while he was living to ensure that she kept the throne, but that would be a completely different story.

[@lordodysseus]

Paddy did such a phenomenal job. I was hesitant in the first episode. He seemed like a poor casting choice. But I was wrong. Very very very wrong. He did an amazing job.

[@djtripmix]

thanks for the info

[@1Caleb0Allen10]

If Viserys put the crown on aemea in the tub in a playful lovful way the crown would carry so much more meaning if we saw it on her mother's head for a scene

[@buttamob6450]

I like the character and the actor did an amazing job, especially towards the end. I do think as a king he was kind of weak. So much could have been avoided if he would use his authority as a king. The way he allowed some people to talk to him wouldn't have happened in GOT. He let a lot slide.

[@maskquerade3236]

That’s the whole point of his character lol. That’s the kind of king he was. He was a good man, not a good king

[@mistyblue8913]

Omg this genuinely made me cry

[@IllusiveBunny]

Viserys was a great character, underrated

[@beddamade]

No one mentioned that in his last scene that he said " My Love" and made a connection that he was talking to his wife at that moment.

[@TheWalkingJewels]

That shirt is bomb. Wish I could afford to get it but I have more pressing financial issues at the moment.

[@distinguishedallureproduct879]

Man just think if Viserys would of survived...He was such a interesting character, I would love a younger Viserys and how he became King, if he was like Daemon and what changed him to be more peaceful... exspecially seeing how he was so caught up in the prophecy that a man like Viserys would sacrifice his own soulmate for it.

[@carbro_320]

This makes sense. When you get this directly from the actor it makes the story more poignant. Living, ruling and trying to protect your family while all the rats 🐀 plot and scheme for power.

[@billybaugus1249]

I had only seen him as Claude Bolton from the outsider which he was amazing in. And he was amazing in the House of the Dragon. I guess he is just a great actor i guess

[@lovilife]

then why the hell did he remarry! he should’ve just taken the valerian 12 year old and never bedded her and not jeopardize his daughters claim while not pissing off the valerians. and also not dating his daughters bff. KEY bad move

[@kanomorojele4956]

lol Paddy.. sounds like after a few shots he becomes "the Critical Drinker" 😅😁

[@frankenviews4069]

The awesomeness of a throne made from the swords of all who you conquered is cool in theory but would get old really fast, especially after the first cut. So uncomfortable to just sit on. Fuck this shit.

[@Yxalitis]

hey. how come no one is talking about Pennyworth?

[@wajahatali557]

They should not delete his scenes

[@halfxue]

King Viserys, King of the Guilt

[@charmedlilsis1]

But why did Viserys ever even f*** Alicent? If he had just refused to remarry and let Daemon marry Rhaenyra, none of this wouldve happened. The people wouldve stood bu Rhae as heir if she was married to Daemon and had a son to reign after her. Viserys is the cause of everything. He is the cause of his wife dying and the whole war that ensues. He was so against Daemon marrying Rhae because of the incest but then married his two full blooded kids to each other. 😑 How does that make any sense? I cant stand Viserys.
