A House of the Dragon Star Secretly Appears in Intense Amazon Prime Film

House of the Dragon can count on high-quality actors, season 2 reveals them more

For a few days now, spectators have been rejoicing at the return of the series House of the Dragon. For the moment, this second season is starting slowly but it should accelerate since one of the most epic battles of the confrontation between the Greens and the Blacks will soon take place. Waiting for, we are delighted with the return of the members of the cast since the various actors give us, for the most part, masterful performancesas was pointed out in our article on the second episode of season 2. However, there is one actor who has received little attention until now, Ewan Mitchell.

Thanks to his performance in the role of Aemond Targaryen, the British actor quickly became one of the favorite antagonists of viewers of the series, even more so following the tragic finale of the first season. Quite discreet during these two episodes, Aemond Targaryen should reveal himself during the rest of the season, and Ewan Mitchell as well. However, this is not the first time we can see him on screen. At the age of twenty-seven, we have already been able to meet him in the film High on Life (2018) by Claire Denis where Robert Pattinson played the main role, or in the series The Last Kingdom through Osferth's role between Season 2 and the first half of Season 5.

Aemond Targaryen Actor Was Unrecognizable in Amazon Prime's Saltburn Movie

However, between the first and second seasons of House of the Dragon, we saw him in the casting of one of the most sultry films in the Amazon Prime catalog. Unrecognizable, many spectators must not have noticed that it was the actor who, besides that, played the illustrious Aemond Targaryen. However, it is him that we find in the film Saltburn from director Emerald Fennell, released in November 2023. For this role, Ewan Mitchell had swapped the wig with long white hair and the eye patch for a very different look, closer to a British Oxford student from the 2000s, forcing the spectators to show as much physiognomy to recognize it.

For a long time, spectators of the film Saltburn have therefore not made the connection between the character of Michael Gavey and that of Aemond Targaryen, even though they are played by the same actor! As a reminder, Saltburn is a feature film in which we follow Oliver Quick (Barry Keoghan), a shy student who befriends one of the most popular students at the university, giving him one of the most unforgettable summers of his life. When it was released, it quickly went viral and got people talking about it. Thanks to this additional appearance, Ewan Mitchell continues to make a place for himself in the world of cinema and even continues his rise in this environment by starring in major productions. There is no doubt that if he continues on this path, the British actor will not only be known for his role in one of the greatest fantasy universes on television.
