That gave me such joy every day. Poor Fabian. Bless him. He was in the armor the whole time and that&#8217;s not easy, but there were some wonderful big characters on that set.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Smith concluded by saying there were &#8220;wonderful performances&#8221; that came out of those long days, especially from his costars like Alcock. <\/p>\n<p>New episodes of &#8220;House of the Dragon&#8221; air Sundays on HBO at 9 pm ET.
