I remember visiting this website once...
It was called Game of Thrones: Newbies Are Coming – Toby Sebastian | Film | HUNGER TV
Here's some stuff I remembered seeing:
. I’m reading the script, turning the pages, biting my lip, hoping that the next line doesn’t read: ‘Trystane gets killed\'”
strays further and further from the treacherous path paved by George R R Martin in
. With the show having now caught up with the five books written and released thus far, uncertain futures lie ahead. There’s no knowing what fate will befall those living in David Benioff and D. B Weiss’s Westeros, and according to new cast member Toby Sebastian, it’s better not to speculate: “You get the role and you’re like “Hey, I’m going to be in it!” but actually, some of the best characters have been killed off when you were least expecting it! I’m just looking at it as a fantastic opportunity.”
Toby first showed an interest in theatre and music while growing up in Spain. Years later he scored a record deal and decided to forgo his original plan to attend drama school in order to pursue an opportunity recording music in London, LA and Nashville. However following the release of an album, the Oxford-based talent decided it was time to get back into acting: he landed an agent in America and “100 to 150 auditions later, bit by bit, things started happening”.
Game of Thrones as Trystane Martell (if you were watching closely last week, you will have caught his brief first appearance on screen). Trystane is the young Dornish prince who first cropped up on our radar circa season two, when Tyrion decided that his niece Myrcella would wed the young Martell boy (despite Cersei’s objection) in order for the Lannisters to forge an allegiance with the Dornish.
Incase your memory is a little hazy when it comes to
family trees, here’s a recap: Trystane is the nephew of the late Prince Oberyn Martell (RIP). He is the son of Doran Martell, who is the current ruler of Dorne. Last season Oberyn attended the royal wedding in place of his brother Doran, and we all know how that ended…
As a result of last season’s events, all is a bit tense in Dorne right now. Ellaria Sand looks to be on a mission to avenge her lover’s death, causing friction between her and the seemingly more levelheaded Prince Doran last week. So what’s in store for Trystane this season? Here Toby talks joining the most popular show on the planet in part one of our new
series, introducing you to those joining the cast this season.
What’s the situation in Dorne this season? How has Oberyn’s death affected his nephew?
I can’t say much, but what I’ll say is that the whole of the Martell family and the Dornish kingdom will know of his death and will be affected by it. It will affect everyone differently and on different levels. You have Doran who will be affected the most. Trystane really is just in his own little bubble, caught up in his world with Myrcella. A world, which, as far as an arranged marriage goes, is the best case scenario. For two people to get on and for the relationship to work, for them to fall for each other… given all the ways that it could have gone… That will be a big help for him during this time. There’s a lot of fury and anger directed at King’s Landing.
How will Trystane and Myrcella’s relationship evolve? Is Jaime Lannister about to rock up and intervene?
I’ll be completely honest with you, I know some, but not enough. I’d like to know more. All I know is that a lot is going happen. I watched the first episode at the premiere and I was blown away, I didn’t know anything!
I didn’t. I think some people might. Everything is so confidential. Even just reading my parts alone, I have way too much information for the world. I have friends who ask me things, and I don’t have any idea, and they go, “Absolute bullshit!” It’s not bullshit. I’m actually quite happy that I don’t get to see the full scripts because my brain would fizzle and bubble up with spoilers, and I’d have a huge need and want to blurt it all out – I would never do it obviously, it means too much. But that’s the exciting thing, that’s the beauty of a show like
, how confidential it is. It’s a shame that the first four episodes got leaked, it’s just really sad when that much time and effort goes into something… It’s not the end of the world, but it’s pretty irritating. But it happens.
What was your impression of the show before you got the part? Were you already a fan?
I think three seasons had aired at the point when I started watching the show. I had heard about it – loads of my friends had gone crazy for it – so I started watching it. I got two boxsets, cracked into them and was blown away – not just by the performances, but also the scale and the magnitude of the show. You can’t comprehend that it’s a TV show and that they’re making ten hours of that material every year. When I got the audition through I watched seasons three and four in a weekend; seeing the way my [Trystane’s] uncle leaves the show got me really excited.
I think I went through two or three stages; it was nerve-wracking, nail-biting stuff. There was a week where I knew that it was very likely [that I had the part], but I still needed certain people to say yes. You’re never told what’s going on behind those walls; you don’t know what conversations are happening. All you can do is say to yourself “If I don’t get it, it’s not the end of the world, I haven’t had this for the last five years of auditioning, so if I don’t get it, it’s fine”, but it’s hard to concentrate and carry on with everyday life and just go for another audition, especially when you’re a big
There were a few weeks where I had to keep quiet. When it’s the fifth season everything’s really confidential, it’s not like the first season! I knew that they were making the announcement at Comic Con, which was when everything went a bit mad. And then you suddenly get thousands of fans going “Oh we love you” or “Oh we hate you”. I don’t blame them. They take it very seriously, and why not? It’s a great show. Fans of the book already have an opinion on the way a character’s been cast even before seeing the show. They’ve read the books and they’ve been living with this world for the last few years.
You’ve worked with Sophie Turner [who plays Sansa Stark] before. What was her reaction when she found out you’d been cast?
, which was shot in Atlanta about a year and half ago. She went to Comic Con and I knew that they were going to be releasing the new castings. I was going to [tell her before] and then I think I just thought, “Screw it! If she hasn’t found out yet, it will be quite funny for her to find out at Comic Con!”Afterwards she called me up like “What the hell! You didn’t tell me!” And I hear in the background, “Who is that?” And she goes, “It’s your… Nephew? Son?” She was talking to Pedro Pascal who plays Oberyn. I was like, “Oh hello! I’m your nephew!” She was very excited.
The show has now caught up with the books and nobody really knows what’s going to happen. Do you speculate about what the future holds for Trystane?
I did, but I’ve stopped recently. I was talking to Alexander Siddig [who plays Prince Doran, Trystane’s father] at one point and saying “This could happen… That could happen… But what if this happens… What’s going to happen!?” And he was like, “I don’t know. But you can’t think about it. You can’t dwell on it.” Which is very sensible of him. So I’ve kind of adopted that mentality. I’m just looking at it as a fantastic opportunity. It’s the biggest show in the world and, in my eyes, the most epic. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen before TV show-wise. To keep it going for five seasons as well, at
level, keeping fans [of the books] on side – that’s pretty amazing. How many times have you read a book and then seen the adaptation, and go “Argh, my god!” I’ve seen several, and just gone, “Oh no…”
How have things changed for you since joining the show? Have they or has it not really hit home yet?
In terms of work, things have changed and they haven’t changed. I think people have this perception, and I understand why, that if you’re part of something like this, even though they haven’t seen what I’m going to do or what’s going to happen, they have expectations. However the reality is that it could be another five or ten years before anything really happens, because it’s so gradual and so unpredictable. Really it’s a timing thing. There are so many people who are incredibly talented, and I know a lot of them, and they don’t get enough work. But
, when you go into auditions it’s a big talking point. People look at you differently, watch with a different eye. But it also makes things harder because it brings up the stakes. You’ve really got to live up to it; they’re expecting something special now whereas before you’re just another guy coming in to audition.
Game of Thrones airs Mondays, 9pm, on Sky Atlantic. Stay tuned for more GOT content, coming soon.
I already love Toby I’M SO FREAKING EXCITING TO SEE TRYSTANE MARTELL AND MYRCELLA and thnks for the spoiler haha
