Exclusive: Rhys Ifans discusses the enigma that is Otto Hightower and missing Paddy Considine’s King Viserys.
Hes capable of remorse.
But Otto is Otto, and keeps everyone he should theoretically care about at a distance.
Otto likely only misses Viserys because he misses the power he had under his rule.
Whether Otto is capable of redemption, though, is still to be determined.
Ifans says that its up to the writers and the audience to decide.
Maybe some time imprisoned will make him see the error of his ways?
Its doubtful, but not entirely unlikely.
A decision Otto would likely have some words about.
Hed have a brief think about it and then have a lot to say, says Ifans.
Itll be interesting to see more of what Otto is like without Viserys.
