Matt Smith will return to the big screen in August with House of the Dragon. Three years after Game of Thrones ended, HBO is bringing back our favorite fantasy series under the guise of a prequel. Set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, House of Dragons introduces a new cast of actors to portray Targaryen’s story. House of the Dragon will tell the origin story of House of the Dragon, better known as the Targaryens, and will be directed by Miguel Sapochnik and RJ Condal, who will also executive produce with George RR Martin, Vince Gerardis, Sarah Lee Hess and Ron Schmidt.
What role does Matt Smith play in House of the Dragon?
Matt Smith is a famous English actor who made his television debut in Sally Lockhart Mysteries: The Ruby in the Smoke. However, he rose to fame when producer Steven Moffat cast him as the Eleventh Doctor in the popular BBC science fiction adventure series Doctor Who (2005). He starred in 49 episodes of Doctor Who before departing on the show’s 50th anniversary year. For his work on the BBC series, Matt Smith was nominated for a National Television Award in the category of Outstanding Dramatic Performance. He was also nominated for the British Academy Television Award for Best Actor.
Smith’s most famous post-Doctor Who role was in the Netflix royal drama series The Crown, where he played Prince Philip for the first two seasons. In 2018, he was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his performance. Matt Smith has appeared in a number of films, including Patient Zero, Sony’s Morbius spinoff and Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho.
He also appeared in the short films Together, Womb and Terminator Genisys. Smith will play Daemon Targaryen, Viserys’ brother, in House of the Dragon. Daemon is a fierce warrior and dragon rider who intends to take over his brother’s reign after his death. It’s not clear if Daemon is a hero or villain in the novel, but he is a somewhat unstable man who wields the legendary Valyrian steel sword, the Dark Sister. Don’t miss Matt Smith as Prince Targaryen in House of the Dragon.
