House of the Dragonstar Paddy Considine has celebrated his return to the hit show with a heartfelt behind the scenes post.
Considine returned as King Viserys Targaryenfor two brief scenes inHouse of the Dragon season 2, episode 6. Daemon Targaryen has spent much of the season in Harrenhal, suffering hallucinations courtesy ofAlys Rivers, and Considine’s Viserys appears in two of these visions.
“It was brief, but I can’t tell you how happy I was to go back to @houseofthedragonhbo to see my old friends,” Considine wrote on Instagram. “I’ve really missed everyone. It was a chance to put the costume on one last time and say goodbye. I’ve honestly felt a little bereft not being a part of this show anymore. It gave me a sense of purpose and responsibility I haven’t felt since. To my cast mates, I miss you all. It’s amazing to watch your roles grow and to see you fly. Some literally.
“Hannah Ecclestone and Christian Goddard, my make up and costume, you are the best,” he continued. “Huge love to Ryan Condal (thanks for the knife…) I couldn’t fit that statue in my garden, but the art department surprised me with my own sculpt. I will treasure it. Along with the great memories.”
