Ewan Mitchell has never watched Game of Thrones.
Despite starring in one of the biggest fantasy franchises on earth, Mitchell made a conscious decision to never watch a single episode of the original Game of Thrones series.
He didn't want any prior performances or the established show culture to subconsciously influence his choices.
He wanted his take on Aemond Targaryen to feel entirely fresh and separate from the original series.

Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. 🇺🇸
After yesterday’s star-studded opening ceremony, the Obama Presidential Center officially opens to the public today in Chicago’s Jackson Park.
The $850 million, 19.3-acre campus includes a museum, public library branch, gardens, playgrounds, walking trails, and civic spaces — designed as more than a traditional presidential library.
The opening has also renewed local debate over rising costs, displacement, and the project’s long-term impact on the South Side.
