The first season of Game of Thrones prequel House of The Dragon had a fantastic run; fans loved the morally grey characters right out of the pages of George R. R. Martin’s Fire & Blood. Very rarely do we see an actor who has played a role both in the new series and the original, and according to a recent report, we might actually have another actor in House of The Dragon from the Game of Thrones cast.
Eddie Eyre joins House of The Dragon Season 2
Redanian Intelligence recently reported that Eyre might have been cast in an undisclosed role in House of The Dragon Season 2. This is supported by the fact that Michelle Bonnard, who plays the King’s Landing Brothel Madam, posted a photo featuring herself with Jordon Stevens (Elinda Massey) and Eddie Eyre on her Instagram.

What role did Eddie Eyre play in Game of Thrones?
Eyre played the role of Ser Gerold Hightower, a Kingsguard tasked with protecting Lyanna Stark, after the Targaryens fell to Robert’s Rebellion. Eyre will be the second Game of Thrones actor to join House of The Dragon, after Jefferson Hall was cast as the Lannister twins Tyland and Jason, who had also played Hugh of Vale in the original series.
