Insights on House of the Dragon Star Millie Alcock: Her Role, Background, and Achievements
Milly Alcock, a talented Australian actress born on April 11, 2000, in Sydney, has made a significant leap in her career with her latest role in HBO's highly anticipated prequel to "Game of Thrones," titled "House of the Dragon."
Alcock's acting journey began early, debuting on television in 2014 in the Network Ten romantic comedy Wonderland. Since then, she has appeared in commercials for various brands and short-form series on the Australian Disney Channel. Her first named roles came in 2017, with appearances in the web miniseries High Life and ABC’s Janet King.
Alcock's breakthrough came in 2019 with her starring role as Meg, a runaway teenager, in the Foxtel comedy-drama Upright. This role earned her the Casting Guild of Australia's 2018 Rising Star Award and a nomination for Best Comedy Performer at the 10th AACTA Awards—making her one of the youngest nominees in that category.
In "House of the Dragon," Alcock portrays the young Princess Rhaenrya, a key character alongside Lady Alicent Hightower, played by Olivia Cooke. Matt Smith takes on the role of Prince Daemon Targaryen, while Paddy Considine plays King Viserys I.
The show revolves around the Targaryen civil war, based on George R.R. Martin's book "Fire and Blood."
Alcock's Instagram feed, @millyalcock, offers a glimpse into her life and her aesthetic, which is extremely Gen Z. Her bio reads, "Extremely underwhelming in real life 🙇🏼♀️" and she writes her name as "Mils." Her only social media presence is her Instagram account.
Before moving to London for her role in "House of the Dragon," Alcock lived with her family in Sydney and worked side jobs. She dropped out of high school during her senior year to pursue an acting career.
With her role in "House of the Dragon," Alcock is making her international breakthrough, marking her first major American role. Her career, rooted in Australian television and film, has been steadily growing, culminating in this prominent role.
