A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms star Peter Claffey has revealed that he shared hours-long in-depth conversations with George R.R. Martin about his character — but when it came to his acting, the iconic creator had a hands-off approach.
The 29-year-old actor stars in the new Game of Thrones spinoff series, which is a prequel based on Martin’s books, The Tales of Dunk and Egg. As a self-identified superfan of the original fantasy HBO Max series, Claffey said he was eager to talk to the legendary author about the story, but that he did not seek him out for advice on playing his character, Ser Duncan the Tall.
