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.
