Considine mentioned how happy he was to be back and to see everyone. He also shared his thoughts on leaving the show and the special gift he received from the art department. The sculpture of Viserys is the same as the one built by sculptors in House of the Dragon Season 2. In his post, Considine said:

“It was brief, but I can’t tell you how happy I was to go back to @houseofthedragonhbo to see my old friends. I’ve really missed everyone. It was a chance to put the costume on one last time and say goodbye. I’ve honestly felt a little bereft not being a part of this show anymore. It gave me a sense of purpose and responsibility I haven’t felt since. To my cast mates, I miss you all. It’s amazing to watch your roles grow and to see you fly. Some literally. Hannah Ecclestone and Christian Goddard, my makeup and costume, you are the best. Huge love to Ryan Condal (thanks for the knife…) I couldn’t fit that statue in my garden, but the art department surprised me with my own sculpt. I will treasure it. Along with the great memories.”
