Meet Your New Favorite 'Game of Thrones' Character in This 'Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' Featurette

New 'Game of Thrones' Character Emerge in HBO's 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms': Meet Ser Duncan the Tall

Ser Duncan the Tall is finally getting his moment to shine, thanks to a new featurette for HBO's upcoming adaptation of George R.R. Martin's 'Tales of Dunk and Egg' novellas. The showrunner Ira Parker has already given hints about this lovable underdog's character, describing him as someone who "stumbles into the whole thing" without his mentor Ser Arlen of Pennytree.

Peter Claffey stars as Ser Duncan, a young knight from the south who becomes embroiled in the intricacies of Westeros' noble world. Claffey recalls feeling embarrassed during one of his early rehearsals when he barfed, but was reassured by Parker that it was perfect for Dunk's character - "that's great, that's just like Dunk!".

Dunk's journey will involve squaring off against the snarky nickname of a hedge knight - essentially a sad version of a real knight. The show promises to balance Dunk's awkward naivety with the dream of becoming a 'glorious knight'.

According to Claffey, working on this project was an unforgettable experience for him. He also praised the stunts and humor present in the show.

The adaptation premieres on HBO January 18th, and fans can look forward to more episodes in season two, which is already in production.

THE SHOWRUNNER'S GOT A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR TOO, I MEAN WHO ELSE COULD TURN UPCHIN' ON A REHEARSAL INTO A POSITIVE πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. ANYWAY, I'M HOOKED FOR SEASON 2 NOW AND CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MORE OF DUNK'S ADVENTURES!!! πŸŽ‰
 
OMG 🀩 I'm SO hyped about Ser Duncan the Tall! Peter Claffey's portrayal sounds like he'll bring so much humor and heart to the role πŸ˜‚πŸ’– Dunk's awkward journey is gonna be EVERYTHING and more! Can't wait to see him take on that snarky hedge knight - it's gonna be epic πŸ’ͺ🏽 I've been waiting for this adaptation for ages, January 18th can't come soon enough πŸ•°οΈπŸŽ‰
 
πŸ€” just started watching Dunk & Egg and I'm loving how they're playing with the character dynamics - Ser Duncan's awkwardness is gonna be hilarious! 🀣 I love how Peter Claffey brings this lovable underdog to life 😊. The showrunner's attention to detail is really paying off, and I can already imagine the snarky nickname that's got everyone talking πŸ˜‚. January 18th can't come soon enough! πŸ’₯
 
πŸ€” just think about it, how many of us have stumbled upon something amazing without even realizing it at first? like Ser Duncan, we might not be born with the confidence or skill, but sometimes that's what makes us unique and lovable. and who knows, maybe a little embarrassment or awkwardness can actually bring out our best qualities πŸ™. let's try to find the silver lining in those moments of uncertainty! πŸ’«
 
So there's this new guy Ser Duncan the Tall in Game of Thrones and I'm wondering what's up with him πŸ€” He's like a lovable underdog who kinda stumbles into all the drama πŸ™ˆ Sounds cool, but I'm curious how his character is gonna fit into the show. And that nickname for a hedge knight? πŸ˜‚ seems pretty funny. I mean, who gets nicknames for being sad and not very good at being a knight? πŸ’” Anyway, the actor playing him says it was an awesome experience to work on and I think that's great 🀩
 
Game of Thrones is back, because who doesn't love watching a bunch of people kill each other for a crown? πŸ˜‚πŸΉ I'm excited for this new character, Ser Duncan the Tall... sounds like he's got some serious growth spurt issues, just kidding, I'm sure Peter Claffey will bring him to life. Barfing during rehearsals is a great way to break in a character, I mean who needs acting classes when you can vomit on cue? πŸ€’πŸ’¦
 
Man I'm low-key hyped but also kinda worried this 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' thing is gonna be a total departure from the original book series... like they're gonna butcher Dunk's character and make him some sort of goofy lovable oaf... I mean, Peter Claffey looks cool as Ser Duncan, but what if it doesn't live up to the hype? And don't even get me started on how it's taking a break from GoT - that was such an epic fantasy world, I'm gonna miss it... πŸ€”πŸ’”
 
omg i'm SOOOO hyped for this new character ser duncan the tall 🀩! like, peter claffey's portrayal of him sounds soooo relatable lol, who hasn't had a embarrassing rehearsal moment? πŸ˜‚ and i love how he stumbled into dunk's journey, it feels so real. the showrunner's gonna balance dunk's awkwardness with his dream of becoming a glorious knight - that's like, the most epic underdog story ever πŸ’ͺ! can't wait for january 18th πŸ“† season two is already in production, this is gonna be SOOO good! 😍
 
omg ser duncan the tall looks like my ultimate underdog fave 🀩 i mean who wouldn't love a clumsy but lovable knight trying to navigate westeros noble world? πŸ˜‚ peter claffey's casting is perfect imo he's got that awkward charm that makes you wanna root for him immediately! πŸ’– and can we talk about the stunts in this show?! i'm hyped just thinking about ser duncan getting into all sorts of messy situations πŸ€ͺ
 
OMG, I'm so hyped for this new Game of Thrones series! 🀩 I've always loved Dunk's character from the books, he's like, so relatable you know? πŸ˜‚ Like when I was trying to join my school's debating club and kept messing up my speeches lol. But serously though, Ser Duncan the Tall seems like a great addition to the show. I love how they're showcasing his awkwardness and journey to becoming a 'glorious knight'. It's like, we've all been there right? πŸ˜‚ And I'm so down for more episodes in season 2! Can't wait to see what's in store for him. 🀞
 
idk about this new addition tho πŸ€”... i mean, ser duncan the tall sounds like just another awkward noble trying to find his place. what's up with the whole "stumbling into everything" vibe? can't they come up with something more original? and peters claffey's character recall is kinda cringeworthy πŸ˜‚. but hey, i guess if it fits dunk's story arc... maybe its cool? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ anyway, gotta admit, i'm still hyped for the full season tho!
 
Man I'm low-key hyped for Dunk's story 🀩 but it feels like HBO's been taking their time with this one, you know? I mean we've had to wait all these years for 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' and now that it's finally coming out... we're getting a featurette after all these months πŸ˜‚. Still, Peter Claffey's gonna rock that role, no doubt about it! And stunts on a horse, gotta love that 😎 reminds me of the good ol' days when I used to play 'Game of Thrones' with my mates back in high school πŸ“š... those were the days, right?
 
Ugh, I'm so over Ser Duncan the Tall being a main character πŸ™„. I mean, who wants to watch some clumsy knight stumble around Westeros? It sounds like the writers are trying too hard to make him relatable and endearing with that whole "barfing in rehearsal" thing, but honestly, it's just gonna come off as cringeworthy πŸ˜‚. And don't even get me started on his nickname situation... hedge knight? More like a joke 🀣. Give me something with some real substance, you know?
 
I'm not sure I love that they're giving Ser Duncan the Tall his own spotlight like this πŸ€”... I mean, he's definitely an interesting character, but I feel like we've seen him in snippets already and now he's gonna be all over the show? Don't get me wrong, Peter Claffey is talented and all πŸ’ͺ, but for me, Dunk's story was always about being a shadow to Ser Arlan, not the center of attention. Maybe this will be good for the show, maybe it won't πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ...
 
OMG YOU GUYS I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE NEW GAME OF THRONES CHARACTER SER DUNCAN THE TALL 🀯!! HE SOUNDS LIKE SUCH A Lovable Underdog AND I LOVE THAT HE'S GOT THAT AWKWARD NAIVETY THING GOING ON WITH HIM πŸ˜‚. I MEAN WHO DOESN'T LOVE AN UNDERDOG STORY RIGHT?! ALSO PETER CLAFFEY IS MY MAN πŸ’ͺ, HE SEEMS SO NICE AND DOWN-TO-EARTH ABOUT THE WHOLE THING. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MORE OF DUNK'S JOURNEY πŸ€”, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GONNA BE SO ADDICTIVE!!!
 
😊 so I think it's awesome that Ser Duncan the Tall is getting his time to shine. Peter Claffey does seem like a great fit for the character, especially considering how he reacted during rehearsals - I mean who hasn't had a moment where they feel like total weirdos? 🀣 and I love that Ira Parker was all about embracing that awkwardness in Dunk's journey. it's not often you see an underdog story done right. I'm also stoked for the show to balance humor with more serious moments, it'll be great to see how Claffey brings this character to life πŸ’₯
 
I'm so hyped for this new Game of Thrones series 🀩! I mean, who wouldn't want to see Ser Duncan's awkward adventures unfold? πŸ˜‚ Peter Claffey as the lovable underdog is perfect casting. I can already imagine him tripping over his own feet on set... haha. The show sounds like it's gonna be all about Dunk's journey from a naive knight to a proper one, and that's something everyone can root for πŸ™Œ. And let's be real, who doesn't love an underdog story? 😊
 
omg I'm so stoked about Ser Duncan the Tall!!! 🀩 he sounds like such a lovable underdog and I love that Peter Claffey nailed his awkwardness πŸ˜‚ I mean who hasn't had one of those gross rehearsed moments where you just wanna hide? but for Dunk it's just perfect. and can we talk about how underrated hedge knights are? like they're the ultimate sad kooks, right? 🀣 I'm hyped to see this adaptation come together and balance out Dunk's naivety with his heroic dreams πŸŽ―πŸ‘
 
"Be careful what you wish for." πŸ€”

I think it's gonna be super cool how Ser Duncan the Tall brings a fresh dynamic to the show, especially with his awkward naivety contrasted with the noble world of Westeros. It's like we're gonna see the underdog story of Dunk in all its glory! The fact that Peter Claffey had an epic barf moment during rehearsals just adds to the excitement 🀣. Can't wait for Jan 18th!
