In HouseOfTheDragon episode 8, actor Matt Smith’s Daemon Targaryen had few lines, and the fans on social media certainly noticed.
Daemon Targaryen delivered few lines in the latest House of the Dragon episode, but fans are still lauding actor Matt Smith's performance as the series' anti-hero. Set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon is an exploratory look at the chaos within one of Westeros' most notorious families, the Targaryens. House of the Dragon features Smith as Daemon, the devious and wily younger brother of King Viserys Targaryen .
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY House of the Dragon season 1 has featured several significant time jumps, and after a period of bitter exile, Daemon has come back around to the family. He bent the knee to King Viserys, and later married his niece and replacement as heir, Rhaenyra Targaryen . When Smith was first cast as Daemon, there was skepticism among the fanbase due to his appearance and lack of experience playing darker characters.
Daemon Targaryen Has A Dramatic Character Arc But Has Stayed True To Himself Now poised to become the Queen's consort, a significant position as spouse of the Iron Throne, Daemon takes a more tactile approach to get what he wants. When at one point he would've taken a risky and potentially fatal move to win a war - as he did in House of the Dragon episode 3 - he's now shown he's planning for a more important future.
From the beginning, he's been an observant, calculating figure capable of springing into action at any moment. Nearly every House of the Dragon episode has shown Daemon perched in a corner, nursing a drink and observing unfolding chaos before making his own impression on the action.
