Steve Touissaint (Lord Corlys Velaryon) and Bethany Antonia (Lady Baela Targaryen) spoke about why it's so meaningful that the HBO series is inclusive.
Sci-fi and fantasy entertainment has finally seen a shift toward more diverse casting—a move that not only better reflects our world, but also brings joy to fans who’ve longed to see people who look like them represented onscreen. In a press conference for House of the Dragon season two, two Black stars of the HBO and Max series reflected on what it’s meant to step into Westeros in that context.
“I think people, if you’re used to being represented, representation doesn’t mean as much because you’re used to it. When I was a kid there would be science fiction programs, and there were very few, if any, people who look like me, look like us. Me and my friends used to joke about it: ‘This thing’s set in the future and we’re not there! What are they going to do to us?’” he said.
