00:00 Congratulations on season two. Give us your best pitch. Why should everyone be team black over team green?

00:06 well

00:07 The basic answer is team black is right because the king named the Queen Rhaenyra

00:14 Isaiah that is the way things work if you're right you're right and if you're wrong you're green and also we just look good in

00:19 Black and we're sexy. I

00:21 Love that enough said y'all are sexy. Do you feel like that sort of rivalry translated off-screen?

00:27 Was there any friendly competition between the team? No, you see the reason not for me because one of the differences in this

00:33 this season as opposed to last in

00:35 Season one there were about five or six episodes where we were all together

00:40 So I'd see them all every time we shot this time because we're all scattered and we're all people have started taking taking sides

00:47 I didn't see them. So

00:49 Like today's the first time I've seen him since we rehearsed and also Matt Smith

00:54 Olivia I think I bumped into once

00:56 Fabian I didn't see much of you and I didn't see so so we couldn't really have that rivalry thing

01:02 So I feel like it'll have to start now today. Absolutely. Yes

01:05 I'm making sure that they don't get to drink that they don't get good seats. You know, it's starting now. Yeah, I love that

01:12 I also want to ask what were you most excited to explore with Corliss as as that character this season?

01:18 Well, I think because this season you see another side to call this you see

01:21 In season one, he's very much on the front foot

01:24 He's very much this is what we're gonna do and we're gonna do this and you're gonna do that and he was very much

01:28 Leading and then at the end of season one, he's like, okay

01:32 It was my ambition that has caused me to lose all of these people

01:35 So now I don't want to be any part of this. It's his wife who says no we've got to support Rineira this season

01:40 I think he is still suffering from grief. There's only been a few days since the end of season one

01:46 He is having to deal with his past misdemeanors coming back to haunt him

01:51 I can't say any more than that, but you'll see the show and you know what I mean

01:53 and trying to hold on to that which is most sacred to him, which is his wife and the fact that normally when he

02:00 Comes across an emotional issue that he can't deal with he goes to see

02:04 Season one he went to see for six years, but now his ship is in repair

02:08 He himself is still recovering so he can't go anywhere. He now has to stop and face his

02:14 Faces demons. Okay, so a lot to explore this season

02:18 I also want to ask I know the language of this universe can be tough to master at times

02:23 Do you have any tricks to how to master high Valyria?

02:26 Well, I'm lucky. I don't have to say any I just have to for me the character just he understands it and can speak it

02:33 But when we're doing the scenes, I just pretend like I understand it. It's much like that

02:37 Yeah, but I but also the language is

02:41 Kind of old and Shakespearean and I've done my fair pair bit of Shakespeare. So it helps
