**’House of the Dragon’ Star Milly Alcock Reveals Early Acting Coach Offer Fueled Insecurities**

NEW YORK, NY – Milly Alcock, known for her portrayal of the young Rhaenyra Targaryen in the hit HBO series “House of the Dragon,” recently shared a surprising anecdote about her early days on set. During an appearance on “The Tonight Show,” Alcock revealed that a “very high up” figure within the production offered her an acting coach on just her second day of filming.

The revelation clearly impacted the young actress. “On my second day on ‘House of the Dragon,’ one of the…someone very high up, pulled me aside and was like, ‘Um, we’re gonna get you an acting coach,'” Alcock recounted.

The offer, intended perhaps as support, had the opposite effect on Alcock, exacerbating her existing anxieties about taking on such an iconic role in the “Game of Thrones” universe. “It just confirmed everything that I’ve kind of known to be true, [which] is that I’m not very good at my job,” she said. “You know what I mean! I was like, ‘I can’t do this. This is terrible. This is a big mistake.’”

Alcock starred alongside Emma D’Arcy, Matt Smith, and Rhys Ifans in Season 1, and briefly in Season 2.

“House of the Dragon,” based on George R.R. Martin’s “Fire & Blood,” is a prequel set 200 years before the events of “Game of Thrones.” Season 3 began filming in March, with new cast members including Tommy Flanagan, Dan Fogler, Tom Cullen, Joplin Sibtain and Barry Sloane joining the ensemble.
