Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms’ Daniel Ings Wanted To ‘Inject Some Chaos’ Into Lyonel Barathon, And He’s Already A Fan-Favorite

Okay, so this new Game of Thrones prequel is definitely leaning into comedy way more than House of the Dragon, and episode two of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms doubled down on that. While the adventures of Dunk and Egg are providing plenty of laughs, I think the real standout so far is Lyonel Baratheon – or as everyone’s quickly calling him, the Laughing Storm! Actor Daniel Ings recently talked about how he specifically wanted to bring a sense of playful chaos to the role, even before his character became the instant fan favorite he is now, and it totally works. He’s absolutely killing it at the Ashford Tourney!
