SCIFI NOW MAGAZINE: Game Of Thrones’ Harry Lloyd gets into the mind of Viserys Targaryen
Game Of Thrones’ Harry Lloyd gives the Viserys Targaryen masterclass in villainy, if you haven’t seen Season One beware of extreme spoilers!

We warned you about spoilers… Harry Lloyd’s precocious would-be monarch Viserys Targaryen pipped Ned Stark (Sean Bean) to the, er, crown for Season One’s most shocking death, having boiling liquid gold poured onto his head by Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa). Unlike Ned Stark’s beheading, many viewers were glad to see the end of Viserys’ increasingly vile and erratic behaviour in Game Of Thrones.
Actor Harry Lloyd, though, doesn’t worry too much about the audience perception of his character.
“I don’t really think about it to be honest, I love him, or I did before he met his sticky end,” said Lloyd exclusively to SciFiNow. “I think it’s a job whoever you’re playing, goodie or a baddie - these are outside words that aren’t very helpful. You do these things, and you’ve got to try and find reasons to make it work.
“If you can find a way to do these things that are so extreme and horrible that people can come round to his twisted way of thinking, you’ve probably done your job well because no-one’s good, bad, everyone’s doing something for a reason – that’s how you’ve got to approach it, I guess...”
Game of Thrones season two premieres Sunday, April 1, 2012 at 9/8C on HBO.
