Hedge Knight, Game of Thrones Spinoff, Casts Dunk and Egg Roles

Actors Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell have been cast as the leads in the 'Thrones' prequel.

Peter Claffey ( Vikings: Valhalla) and Dexter Sol Ansell (who recently portrayed Young Coriolanus Snow in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes) have been cast. The logline: “A century before the events of Game of Thrones, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros … a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall (Claffey), and his diminutive squire, Egg (Ansell). The move follows the hugely successful launch of Dragon, which generated 29 million viewers per episode, according to HBO, and returns this summer.
