"Although Aemond may look quite menacing on TV, Ewan Mitchell has the kindest soul and is an absolute thrill to work with. His performance truly shines throughout the episodes he’s in, and watching him snap from the incredibly caring Ewan (+)
“I think there are many things that are driving him, but one of them that I loved to play with and explore was this idea that he wants his mum. Every time I shared a scene with Olivia Cooke [playing Alicent Hightower] around the council table (+)

“You might not like Aemond, you might feel like you're not supposed to like him, but you do feel something for him. You might not condone his actions but you understand why, and I think that's what makes him a complex villain.”

“I'm not on social media. But I do get fantastically worded fanmails! I have a whole pile of them at home waiting for me to read them. I swear, I really do read them all! I use them as motivation. They mean a lot to me—namely that our work is appreciated.”

“Ewan was so creepy and gave me chills, and yet when he is off camera, he's the sweetest person you've ever met. Every time you finish a take, he'll say, 'Do you want me to do it better? I can do it better. What do you want me to do?'”

“Tom. Before we started filming the first season, we really worked on a brotherly bond. We met a lot! Tom is one of the best parts of the job. When he's around, everything feels so natural, so spontaneous.”
