Game Of Thrones Prequel Casting — Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke

Paddy will play Viserys Targaryen — but not THAT one from GoT. According to HBO, “Viserys was chosen by the lords of Westeros to succeed the Old King, Jaehaerys Targaryen, at the Great Council at Harrenhal. A warm, kind, and decent man, Viserys only wishes to carry forward his grandfather’s legacy, but as we’ve learned from Game of Thrones, good men do not necessarily make for great kings.”
