Is Rhys Ifans in Game of Thrones?

Rhys Ifans is a Welsh actor and musician. He was the frontman for the Welsh rock bands Peth and Super Furry Animals.

Rhys Ifans is not in the original Game of Thrones series. However, Ifans plays Otto Hightower in the Game of Thrones prequel, House of the Dragon, which premiered on August 21, 2022.

Ser Otto Hightower was a knight who became Jaehaerys Targaryen’s Hand of the King after the death of his son, Baelon Targaryen.

Jaehaerys’ health was said to have deteriorated quickly as a result of his grief over the deaths of his son and wife, Alysanne, and Otto was essentially the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, making key decisions while the king was ill.

Rhys Ifans is portrayed as someone loyal and trusting to the Targaryens. He is well-known for his open dislike of the king’s brother, whom he believes is up to no good.

‘House of the Dragon’ premiered on August 21, 2022. The prequel takes place nearly 200 years before the events of ‘Game of Thrones.’
