Collett's brunet curls are central to his story on House of the Dragon, a daily reminder that his character's questionable parentage is an open secret. He plays Jacaerys 'Jace' Velaryon, a bastard child who was heir to the throne before a coup in the season 1 finale.
There's a little bit of fear that lies within him, Collett says of Jace. All of his life, he's tried to get away from the fact that he is a bastard, but he knows it deep down. He wants to make sure that by the time he sits on the Iron Throne, everything is perfect and everything is going his way.
In the future, when it's him and a load of bastards, it's kind of insulting to him. In advance of the season 2 finale, Jace is a little bit frustrated and held back from reaching his true potential. War is on the horizon, and he's had little experience in battle.
It's just a classic thing of a sixteen-year-old being like, 'Mom, I'm old enough to do this now.' And your mom going, 'No, you're too young,' says Collett. He's slowly getting sick of it.
