As Daeron Targaryen comes to the forefront in this week's episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, actor Henry Ashton has revealed his connections to Westeros run a lot deeper than you might expect.
Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com, actor Ashton revealed Daeron is not the first Thrones role he auditioned for, explaining: " I actually auditioned for the original Game of Thrones when I was either 17 or 18 in school – they came round all the schools to audition people.
In episode 4, Daeron reveals to Dunk that his dreams always have a way of coming true, which sheds a very disconcerting light on his dream about Dunk and a dead dragon ahead of the hedge knight's trial by combat.

He sort of hides behind this dark, irreverent humour. But behind that is just a truly tortured soul."
"I think he's he's a really important character because he bridges the gap from the Targaryens to Dunk and Egg a little bit, and he sort of shows what it's like to grow up in such a brutal family."
" Ira and Owen had both quite differing opinions on where Daeron was coming from, in terms of, is he a good man who's pretending not to be, or is he not a good guy but pretending to be?" Ashton revealed.
"One of the audition notes I'll share for when they sent the character breakdown through was Withnail and I – very charismatic and upper class, but also just completely disheveled and just an absolute mess. [He's] weirdly charming and funny – I found that note really fun to play with."
