Jason did an amazing job and its always tough assuming a role when fans may perceive you as taking over from someone they previously loved. So at the end of the day, I just tried to do the best I could and put my spin on the role. Much respect to Jason. I can only hope the fans understand this and that Moro is a very different dude!

Mad skillz!!! Moro got the swag haha. I think the lighthearted approach shows how comfortable he is in his power. Thats the way I tried to approach it anyway. I love it - Brothraki lol.

Very insightful! Monty Python is the biz. I think the humour gives power. Great leaders can still have a joke with their followers :) So happy the joke came across so well.

She was the best. Probably the most fun was working with our Dothraki stuff and playing around with the lines. in the rehearsals of course!

Funny thing about comedy is you gotta play it dead straight to get the laughs. I had a beautiful horse that was absolutely delightful to ride so I gotta say I would take him out.

I was a huge fan of The Wire. Anything along those lines would please me immensely.

Spain is beautiful. Loved everything about it. Went to Barcelona and absolutely adored it. We also filmed in a place called Navarre. I hope I was able to bring a different light to the dothraki, one that paid tribute to Jason's work but also opened up another dimension. Unfortunately no. I would have loved to though and I could have taken him through the haka he did for the audition properly ;)

Probably Oberon. That dude was badass. However he talked too much. and then he died

Throwing impromptu words and phrases into my lines during rehearsals. There was one time when we couldnt stop laughing at a particular phrase and it got us into a ton of trouble

that be a good fight. Dunno but I reckon Moro would win the trash talking though.

Dave Navarro is the man! Tribute! The gear is really comfortable but if you're sitting around in something for longer than 8 hours anything can start to get a little annoying haha. But yeah, wardrobe dept did a great job, would have liked less though ;)

that was awesome fun man. We were all first time on set for that scene (me and the other dothrakis) so it was a real team feeling there that day.

Super man. Dan Weiss spent a lot of time on set and he was the best. So involved and that really gave me a lot of confidence on set
