Milly Alcock, the Australian actress renowned for her portrayal of the young Rhaenyra Targaryen in the "Game of Thrones" spinoff "House of the Dragon," recently shared a challenging experience from the early days of her role. On her second day on set, Alcock was approached by someone in a high-ranking position who suggested she undergo acting coaching. This moment was particularly daunting for her, as she revealed on "The Tonight Show," admitting she felt "mortified" by the suggestion.
In a light-hearted manner, Alcock used the incident to humorously reflect on her skills, saying, "It just confirmed everything that I’ve kind of known to be true, [which] is that I’m not very good at my job," despite her evident talent and subsequent success. Her self-deprecating humor only adds to her charm, making her relatable to fans and viewers alike.
Alcock's role as Rhaenyra Targaryen, daughter and heir to King Viserys I Targaryen, has been pivotal in "House of the Dragon." She appeared as a series regular in Season 1 and made guest appearances in Season 2, which explores the decline of the Targaryen dynasty. The adult Rhaenyra is portrayed by Emma D’Arcy, who takes over as the character ascends to the throne.
The series, which premiered in August 2022, quickly garnered acclaim and a dedicated fanbase, leading to a swift renewal for a second season just days after its debut. The show's popularity continued to soar, earning a Season 3 renewal in June 2024, even before the second season commenced. "House of the Dragon" also clinched the prestigious Golden Globe for Best Television Series — Drama, underscoring its impact and quality.
Looking ahead, while Season 3 is confirmed, fans eagerly await an official release date. Meanwhile, Alcock's career continues to ascend, with upcoming roles as Kara Zor-El / Supergirl in the summer's "Superman" movie and the lead in "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" set for the following year.
