Vincent Regan might be playing Alliser Thorne’s ancestor in House of the Dragon Season 2

About 200 years before the events of the main series, the Targaryens and their dragons were ruling Westeros, in the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon. The first season told the story of how the Targaryens, the reigning house of Westeros, went to fight with one another, plunging the realm into a bloody war. There are still a ton of characters to come, even though a few significant ones were already introduced.
