Paddy Considine calls King Viserys his best role, reveals how death scene touched him on a personal level
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: King Viserys is one of the most notable characters in the HBO series, 'House of the Dragon.' When Paddy Considine's character took his last breath in the series, fans were extremely heartbroken. Considine even agreed that Viserys "was the best character he played" on screen. It was no secret that 'House of the Dragon' will be a blockbuster with its fantastic storyline. However, its predecessor, 'Game of Thrones' had raised the bar high and expectations needed to be met as the creators promised there would be "more dragons," during their promotional interviews before the series aired.
From the very start of the series, Considine's Viserys was shown to have a weird infection which was taking a toll on the king's health. Even though the creators introduced the ill health of the king at the beginning when it was time for fans to bid adieu to Considine in the series, it still hit hard. Speaking of hardship, the death scene of the actor in the series impacted Considine and his family to a great extent for which the actor chose not to watch the eight episodes of the first season.
