Matt Smith didn’t need lines to stand out in Dragon House.

(Warning: There are spoilers below House of the Dragon.)

We bend the knee to Matt Smith.

The actor, who plays the arrogant Prince Damon, just showed off his performance in the September 4th episode. House of the Dragon— and he had almost no lines.

For those of you who haven’t been keeping up with the drama House of the DragonPrince Smith Daemon has since been disinherited by his brother King Viserys (Paddy Considine). And, trying to prove himself, started a war against the Crab Feeder (Daniel Scott-Smith) in Stepstones, a disputed piece of land.

And while Daemon has a ferocious dragon as part of his cavalry, the Crabeater’s army proved a formidable opponent. So when Viserys, who has been largely absent from the Stepstones drama, learned that his brother had effectively lost an unauthorized war, he agreed to send troops and supplies to the Daemon and his army.
