Steve Toussaint has been a British TV S mainstay for the last couple of decades, often appearing in popular crime dramas like Lewis, Silent Witness, and Waking The Dead. In recent years he's impressed in critically acclaimed dramas like Line Of Duty, It's A Sin, and Small Axe. But despite a role in 2010's Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time and a part in Doctor Who, he's more or less avoided fantasy fare until now. In Game Of Thrones spin-off House Of The Dragon he takes on the part of naval hero Corlys Velaryon - the Sea Snake. It's given him the chance to flex his muscles, both literally and metaphorically.
He's an important, powerful man, but what were your first impressions of Corlys Velaryon?
He's a very rich man and a great naval warrior, but for him it's all about his familial relationships. When I met Miguel [Sapochnik, co-showrunner] we ended up talking a lot about fatherhood. I found it really interesting that this was the angle they were coming from for Corlys. It's about his hopes for his kids and his wife Rhaenys and so on. Alongside all of the bashing people's heads in with axes!
You mentioned Rhaenys Targaryen there - what's Corlys's relationship with his wife like? Are they a happy couple?

Making Alien - Jaws in Space - Forty-five years on from its original release, Alien continues to terrify. We dissect what arguably remains the most chilling instalment in the saga
The seven-strong crew of the commercial mining spacecraft the Nostromo seal their fate after reluctantly responding to a mysterious distress signal on a hostile planet. Here, a face-hugging alien from a derelict ship impregnates and later kills executive officer Kane (John Hurt) after its offspring is birthed onboard. After being unleashed, the fearsome newborn with acid for blood proceeds to dispatch the remainder of the crew.Ridley Scott's much more convoluted prequels have yet to reveal how the knowledge that led to this initial interception was acquired. However, the premise of the original Alien is perfect in its uncomplicated purity.
