"Dragon Family" actor Matthew Needham plays Larry Strong in the show. In this prequel to Game of Thrones , the dragon-wielding Targaryens hold the Iron Throne, but a succession crisis is brewing. As Viserys' health gradually deteriorated, alliances of different factions were forming. Among them, Larry is gradually approaching Allison, so does he really want to follow her?
Larry is a docile character doomed to miss the life of his Cavalier brother Harvin Strong. As was the case in Game of Thrones , the most ruthless get what they want. In episode six, Laris organizes the brutal and furious killing of his brother and father, which not only makes him a high-ranking figure in a powerful family, but also weakens Alison's childhood friend Rhaenyra. There is no doubt that this character is as sinister as Littlefinger from Game of Thrones. He is ambitious and is not afraid to kill the people closest to him.
Allison became the most powerful woman in Westeros thanks to Larry. Because he was the forgotten son of the Strong family. Although his legs blocked his mobility, his mind was sharp enough to execute his will by other means. In response, the actor who played the actor said: "I feel like being with Allison is sharing who you are. He's very good at seeing through the lies we make up for ourselves. He's watching. He's been sitting quietly, Nobody talks to him, looks at people. He's been watching people all his life. It's the mask we all wear and I think he's very good at seeing people for what they are."
Worth mentioning, on George Martin In 's "Fire and Blood" novel, this character does not appear too much. However, the character gradually became a major character in "Dragon Family", leaving audiences with a love-hate relationship with him. Naturally, this character can be played more freely because it is not bound by the original.
Larry is a keen observer, but he's also not averse to twisted violence and determined to cut the tongues of those who carried out his murderous plans. Like Littlefinger in Game of Thrones, if Laris wants to continue this dangerous game, he will need to continue to form interconnected alliances with friends at the top, and his ultimate goal is unclear.
Larry's father was the Hand of the King, one of the most powerful men in Westeros. Manipulators like Larys can ascend to power by further proving their abilities to Queen Allison by securing her son Aegon on the Iron Throne and becoming Prime Minister in exchange for his years of guile and loyalty. peak. In any case, the relationship between Allison and Larry will eventually deepen step by step. For Rhaenyla, Larry will definitely be a dangerous enemy. Of course, it's hard to estimate how bad Larry will become in the future, considering that he has the shadow of Littlefinger in "Game of Thrones".
