Is that you, girl? While it probably isn’t him, I’m already seeing folks thinking that the baby she has with her is Pure Vanilla Cookie. Not sure how that ties in to CRK if that is the case.
Dexter Sol Ansell, playing Egg (the future King Aegon V Targaryen), is best known for playing the (very) young Coriolanus Snow in the opening scene for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

I think Dexter is a perfect choice for Egg! He looks very HBO-Targaryen, and IMO has a strong resemblance to Leo Ashton (young Aemond in HOTD S1), as well as Emma D'Arcy (Rhaenyra). Of course he'll be shaving his head (poor kid), and with those light eyebrows, I'm sure he will be very very egg, lol.
Our new Dunk, Peter Claffey, from Portumma, Ireland, used to be a rugby player (he's 1.96m, 6'5"), but left the sport in 2018 and got into acting. Here's a clip from his agent's site, and for more videos see here.
I personally think this clip is highly convincing of Peter's potential in this role. "We could use a man-mountain like you", indeed.
there’s something about the way that each of the stories in the tales of dunk and egg series start with death. dunk digging the grave for ser arlan, the two men in the crow cage, the traitor’s head impaled on the gates… i don’t know what that something is but it is Something
Everything was normal in my life but my father was Danny DeVito, he gave me eggs and then sacrificed my bouncy castle (which doesn’t exist) to the elder gods.
