00:00Congratulations on season two. I gotta say give us your best pitch. Why should

00:05everyone be team green over team black? We're just more rock and roll. We're more

00:09rock and roll. We have a bigger dragon in Veigar, the oldest baddest known dragon

00:14in the world and she's named after the old Valerian god of war and you don't

00:18want to go against the god of war. I love that. Did you feel like any of the

00:24friendly competition translated off screen? Was there any competition

00:29between team black and team green anywhere off screen? Off screen? I don't know it's

00:34just a it's one of the best parts of the job you know working with this

00:36incredible cast. I am you know you go you go toe-to-toe with Liv Cork or Fabian

00:42Frankel Tom Glyn Carney and you pick up a few moves in the process and yeah. Who

00:50would you say is the most competitive in the cast? The most it's probably me I

00:54hate to say it yeah but you know life imitates art and Damon imitates you

00:58a lot. I love that. Well I also wanted to ask I know you mentioned that you

01:03haven't actually seen Game of Thrones. What was your choice behind that and will

01:09you consider binging it anytime soon or do you want to wait until after the

01:12series wraps? I might wait until after the series wraps and then watch the whole

01:17the whole of Game of Thrones. Oh no the whole of House of the Dragon and then

01:22Game of Thrones that might be fun. But yeah I didn't want it to inform my decisions in any way shape or form.

01:28I wanted to go in blind and you know bring something completely fresh to the to the

01:36world. Absolutely. I want to say at the end of last season Eamon makes a very

01:40impulsive decision. What are the consequences of those actions and how

01:44does that affect his journey this season? I think so much of season one saw this

01:49family's world on a knife's edge and all it was gonna take was a push from either

01:53side to draw blood and Eamon drew first blood. He becomes the most wanted man in

01:58the realm and he starts the domino effect that might lead to the dance of the

02:02dragons. And I can't wait for people to see season two. Finally I wanted to ask you

02:09were also part of one of the most talked about movies last year Salt Burn. Yes I

02:15have. I have quite the change of character I have to say. Do you get a lot of fan

02:19reaction? Do a lot of people come up to you kind of mesmerized by the character

02:22that you played? Yes quite. I think it's my chin that gives it away you know. Even

02:27with Eamon like people kind of look at me like I've seen that guy from somewhere

02:30and then I go like that and they're like oh it's Eamon. But yeah Salt Burn was one of

02:35the one of the best films that I've done thus far in my career. It was it was

02:39phenomenal to work with Emerald Fennell and Barry and that character Michael Gavey

02:45he's yeah he's a real one. I love Michael Gavey.
