[@bearage]

just award this man whatever awards there are. brilliant

[@synkthestorm22]

Paddy truly deserves to win an Emmy for his performance as Viserys, or at the very least beign nominated for it. He fleshed out the character in such a real, complex, moving and human way, so full of nuance. That last episode, Gosh...tears man, TEARS! You could see everything! The guilt, the sadness, the love for his family...and to top it off that bittersweet smile, watching them all drinking, dancing and laughing together for the last time... brilliant!

[@Unclejunior152]

Incredible performance in episode 8. Very moving. Couldn't agree more with your assessment.

[@nkxseal8398]

I love they were able to convince Ryan to keep the daemon crown scene in, it's just the perfect topping to that scene.

[@cherylbaxter8986]

Yes an George messaged him about how he portrayed king Visarys better than he did in the book he really brought him to life

[@thehumanity0]

Crazy how he managed to flesh out this character as much as Ned Stark or any other character in the original GoT, a series that had 4000+ pages of content to draw from for characterization, while Fire and Blood is not much better than a historical timeline with something like 4 chapters on the Dance.

[@rokutime2627]

Not just nominated. He deserves to win it.

[@kirin4737]

He seems like such a genuinely nice and kind guy, I really hope he gets that Emmy because he deserves it 100%.

[@veronicavaliensi6483]

Paddy was the heart of the show. His loss will be felt moving forward.

[@spacecat925]

it will really feels like when the grandparents die and this big family begins to separate, but in this case it will be fatal for the Targaryen house, a tragedy

[@emsi96]

Hand the Emmy to Paddy ASAP. One of the all time great TV perfomances. Wonderful work.

[@drip.season8504]

Paddy is the Sean Bean of HOTD. Only present in one season of the show but his character and his significance to the story will echo throughout the rest of the series. It would be amazing to have young Rhaenyra/Viserys flashbacks later down the road, I love Milly and Paddy so much

[@ElissaStark514]

Yes!

[@Jennifer-2329]

I would love that. It’s heartbreaking that he’s now gone. I had thought his death would be the finale.

[@m_zero3009]

@@SiimKoger could always use a balerion flashback

[@romibodoni]

I actually wonder if Paddy was offered the part of Ned Stark, because he told in a talk show he was offered a part in the first season of GoT but turned it down.

[@arshbad1]

People would be rewatching his walk and the courtroom scene in HOTD for ages.

[@miguelitomarques8]

Shivers went through our spines with that "I will sit the Iron Throne today."

[@beachflower2188]

Paddy talking about how he looked like his own dad in Viserys final moments 😭 is just sad

[@Ashley_e]

Never cried in GOT like I did that scene of Matt and Paddy with the crown. Bravo. What a great human as well. He deserves all the accolades for Viserys. Just rewatched the first episode/OG fight with Daemon AFTER seeing his death, and it takes on a whole other emotion.

[@janeathome6643]

Yes!! He realizes how much Daemon always loved him and supported him and Daemon realizes how freaking strong Visaerys has always been.

[@may.k_me]

I love how this whole interview is just Josh trying to ask questions or steer the direction, but Paddy just wants to talk about his favourite films. Lol. Bless

Man whou woulda though an actor as accomplished as he is has deep rooted self esteem issues and self doubts I guess that makes me to be more comnfortably with myself.

[@thehumanity0]

It's amazing how Fire and Blood was nothing but a historical timeline of events and somehow the writers and Considine managed to flesh out this character to such great lengths and bring him to life as much as Ned Stark or any main character in the original Game of Thrones which had 4000 pages of content to draw from.

[@marykotacka4265]

Amen

[@MourningCoffeeMusic]

Paddy is a national treasure. Give this man an Emmy.

[@nkxseal8398]

Oh man i truly hope Paddy gets tons of amazing offers now, he clearly has been waiting for this kind of recognition and he absolutely deserves it. I cannot wait to see the stuff he does next.

[@lethaldose9780]

His performance was STELLAR! Definitely Emmy worthy!

[@LineCad]

I love that Josh was ready to let him go and he kept the conversation like "wait a min, I have more things to share with you", what a lovely human. I hope he'll get a lot of scripts with very interesting characters from now on, because I don't want to wait too much to see him on-screen again. For those, like me, that didn't know his band Riding the Low, go and have a listen.

[@ElissaStark514]

We also owe Paddy a thank you, for being the one who made Matt join the show!

[@victoriamuschka4207]

Mr. Considine you are elegant and truly a regal actor. Your personality and kindness surfaced during the most memorable and touching scenes throughout each episode. I am hoping you win as many awards as possible for this role Sir.

[@emmalouise8001]

[@guilfordstancill3456]

One of the best episodes of anything I've witnessed. His performance combined with the other cast, the composer, director, etc have created something truly beautiful.

[@jessica5497]

Give this king a emmy!!!!

[@airixxxx]

When he was saying "no more" in his deathbed it shocked me, I thought I was watching my grandfather when he died, I couldn't believe how real it was I forgot I was watching a TV show. I assumed he was drawing from personal experience, now I know for sure he was, what a talent.

[@rareplaid]

Paddy was incredible as Viserys! I hope he wins an Emmy . I cried like a baby when he died😢.

[@whysokirious5638]

Paddy is absolutely amazing 😭😭😭 He deserves all the praise in the world

[@Major98]

Satisfying to see all this praise and success for a good guy

[@RockyRepulsa]

Viserys was such a compelling and complicated man, I got frustrated with him alot, but I truly think that just speaks to Paddy's skill as an actor. What a damn chad.

[@wobbinhood1453]

matt and paddy's chemistry was tremendous 10/10 performance as viserys

[@Jennifer-2329]

Viscerys was one of my favorite characters. I loved that he was always a father first to Rhaenyra. I love how he was always her number one supporter no matter what. I don’t believe he was blind to the fact that Rhaenyra’s 3 eldest son’s didn’t favor Laenor. Regardless of the boys biological father he didn’t care because they were still his grandson’s and he loved them. His character was beautifully written and Paddy Considine executed the role of King Viscerys to perfection. I am eagerly awaiting Paddy Considine’s Emmy winning speech. ❤❤

[@steffendass4169]

Paddy's always refreshingly candid in all his interviews. I hope he gets some Emmy attention for his role in HotD.

[@anamelanieamaya4453]

Paddy consadine deserves an Emmy Award, made a tremendous performance and fantastic and magnificent Scene did last Sunday, I admire him very much, ❤️👑⚔️ Always the king Viserys! 🔥👑🔥

[@TheIndignation]

I'm really happy for Paddy and that he feels fulfilled by his performance as Viserys. It really was such a pleasant surprise to see his stellar acting on HOTD. Viserys easily could have been, as Paddy put it, just "some boring king", but Paddy (and due credit to the writers as well) really made the character feel so very genuine and human. His emotion really resonated with me in the audience. I was a bit familiar with the story beforehand (hadn't read Fire & Blood but I have read the relevant chapters in World of Ice and Fire) and Viserys was a character who I didn't expect I'd come out the other end thinking "wow I think he was my favorite character". Whether or not he wins an award for the role (and he certainly deserves one in my opinion), I'm glad it took him "to the next level" and helped him demonstrate and realize more of the potential he knows he has. And I'll look forward to what's next.

[@kevinbirmingham8629]

I would watch this man in literally anything. His ability to completely transform his entire body, his personality, etc...it's just incredible. Such range as an actor is rare but he makes it look easy.

[@donrumata369]

Paddy has always been such an inspiration, for my generation, "Dead Man's Shoes" came out the year we started Uni in the uk. That film became a kind of talisman for our independent filmmaking endeavours, Paddy in turn personified that. He's in my opinion, the best of his generation in England. + We loved "Le Donk's Breakdancing Masterclass" xxx

[@janeathome6643]

Personally, I love Le Donk's top 10 films!!!

Paddy just became one of my favorite actors after watching him as Viserys, I’m glad he can see how much he touched people with his performance

[@iconoclast6555]

18:15 I love this part. I defended King Viserys from many reactors who said that Viserys is weak in the earlier episodes. It was mostly because Daemon said it and most people stan Daemon, but truth of the matter is Daemon is a great warrior but he doesn't know jack about ruling. Viserys is the best king we've seen in GOT television not including the few seconds we saw Jaehaerys in the first episode.

[@lydiaquinn2892]

Paddy Considine’s went from a familiar face to a stand out when I saw The Third Day. His performance as Viscerys put him in the top tier of great actors. It truly is a thing of beauty to watch. He made Art and his Viscerys is now an icon. Bravo!

Paddy is a very humble man. I have no idea what he's gonna do when he gets on stage thanking everyone for the EMMY he SHOULD win. His performance in episode 8 sealed it for me. I don't get the sniffles much during movies and TV shows but that man had my "allergies" on 1000%. Whether he knows it or not...his performance is already legendary in my eyes. Unbelievable work this season. Thank you Paddy and Josh thank you for the wonderful and insightful interview.

Great guest Josh!!

[@maxieshouse]

Please tell Paddy if you talk to him that out of all the roles and actors, it was his portrayal of Viserys that was I transfixed by - from the outset. Not the others, although everyone is superb. I was watching Viserys Targaryen, First of His Name - aka Paddy Considine. And each time he graced the screen, my heart broke just a little more, in wonder and sadness. Great things will happen for Paddy now, I believe. Much love and admiration from many of us.

[@postmodernist1281]

I agree. And as he said, it's really unfair to call him weak king.

[@magistermilitum1206]

@@postmodernist1281 Viserys was a good king, but he was weak. I haven't read the books but when he went to bev for corlys and do stuff in hes terms war pathetic. The fact that he went for rhaenyra even after he had sons was stupid. Don't get me wrong I love viserys(show viserys, as I said I haven't read the books but I have read something) and considine as an actor, and I understood he went to corlys to keep the peace as he was desperate, and the moments where he says to daemon your no conqueror, your a plague sent upon my reign or smth. And when he says to vaemond velaryon that he's no more than a second son and stuff. But in general, he did mistakes but in reality it wasn't gonna be like that, he def was gonna put aegon as king but, there wouldn't have been many books and a series, right?

[@maxieshouse]

@@postmodernist1281 A dozen of Jaehaerys' heirs died for the line to reach Viserys. He was never meant to be king, too kind and gentle to be king, but never a pushover, and always A Dragon. After Aemma died the heart went out of him. Paddy brought a majesty to Viserys that was not discernable on paper; it was unexpected and quite wonderful. I don't think he quite realises how much his performance meant to all of us Throners, and how magnificent it was. My wish: a line of producers and writers bashing down his door, and every award available. Be well, Paddy Considine - and thank you.

[@Borderose]

He better get nominated. At least. He was phenomenal as Viserys I.

Paddy was inspired casting. A total surprise, Viserys is a tricky Targaryen to bring to life, as he's really neither side of this infamous coin but my god if there was a coin flip for performance between Greatness and Madness Paddy was certainly on the side of Greatness. I think that walk up to the throne may well be my favourite moment of westeros on screen.
