Harry Gilby had previously auditioned to play Aemond

The role of Vhagar’s one-eyed rider nearly went to another actor, as Ewan Mitchell’s co-star from The Last Kingdom also auditioned for the part. Harry Gilby, known for his portrayal of Æthelstan in the show’s fifth season, was a contender for the role. In an earlier interview, Gilby revealed, “I went for that part. Yeah, I did. I think a lot of people went for that part. It was really cool too.”
