Outlander star Graham McTavish took to social media to tell fans he is 'so proud' to be apart of the new Game of Thrones show House Of The Dragon.
The Glasgow born actor, who is best known for his roles as Dougal MacKenzie in Outlander and Dwalin in The Hobbit film trilogy, is starring in the highly anticipated HBO prequel. Taking to Instagram after the show premiered, he wrote: "What a night! So proud to be a part of this great show".
Graham, 61, has a key role in the follow-up to Game of Thrones, which is set centuries before the current GOT timeline and will focus on a burgeoning civil war between Daenerys Targaryen’s ancestors. The New Zealand-based actor is playing Ser Harrold Westerling, one of the main figures involved in the growing tensions between the two Targaryen factions in his role as the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard under King Viserys I.
Speaking to the Sunday Post, Graham revealed he missed out on the first series so was looking forward to being able to play a part in the HBO follow-up, with friend and showrunner Ryan Condal helping him to secure the part.
He said: "About five years ago, we were having lunch and he told me he was working on a Game Of Thrones prequel and he would love me to be in it. When it came closer, he said there were two possible characters I could play, but one of them died in episode four, so of course I went for the other one!"
Graham added that he still can't believe how incredible the whole production is and how lucky he is to be part of it. And when it comes to his role, the Scottish star was delighted to be playing such an interesting character.
“The king’s guards that my character is part of are almost like Templar monks/warrior types," he explained. "Who forsake all
