Dexter Sol Ansell, playing Egg (the future King Aegon V Targaryen), is best known for playing the (very) young Coriolanus Snow in the opening scene for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

I think Dexter is a perfect choice for Egg! He looks very HBO-Targaryen, and IMO has a strong resemblance to Leo Ashton (young Aemond in HOTD S1), as well as Emma D'Arcy (Rhaenyra). Of course he'll be shaving his head (poor kid), and with those light eyebrows, I'm sure he will be very very egg, lol.
Our new Dunk, Peter Claffey, from Portumma, Ireland, used to be a rugby player (he's 1.96m, 6'5"), but left the sport in 2018 and got into acting. Here's a clip from his agent's site, and for more videos see here.
I personally think this clip is highly convincing of Peter's potential in this role. "We could use a man-mountain like you", indeed.
i used to wish that brienne would get knighted in an official capacity in the actual books, but i have evolved. knighting is the soul-killer if you have a connection to the throne! all of brienne's chapters lead back to the idea of still being good and still wanting to be good, in spite of everything and everyone. the white cloak kills the boy. the gold cloaks kill the boy. even the tourneys, to an extent, kill the boy. brienne's power comes from the fact that she is still the boy! killing the boy is ruining her! what is the point of her choosing between oaths and otherwise if it does not lead her back to the same point!
“Brienne,” he said, granting her the courtesy of the name in the hopes that she might listen, “if Lord Bolton holds Harrenhal, both the Trident and the kingsroad are likely watched.”
He thought he saw a touch of uncertainty in her big blue eyes. “You are under my protection. They’d need to kill me.”
