“Game of Thrones” season five actress Rosabell Laurenti Sellers revealed her reaction to being cast as Tyene Sand, how much nudity to expect from her and more.
In an interview with la Repubblica (Winter Is Coming), Sellers explained what the casting process for the HBO Show was like. Sellers first had to record a video with her agent before making it to the second round of auditions.
“I realized it was a phenomenon from the reaction of others,” Sellers told la Repubblica. “My agent asked me to shoot a video alone, at home, in which I tried to kill someone. A few weeks later, I was in London, and they called me saying ‘the creators of Game of Thrones want you for a second audition.’ I was then subjected to intensive sword training and martial arts.”
Sellers added her character flirts with the line between good and evil. Tyene will be attempting to avenge her father Oberyn Martell’s death, which could involve her killing people. Sellers also signed a contract to only appear nude from the waist up.
Fellow “Game of Thrones” actress Sophie Turner also talked about season five with Hero Complex. Turner admitted it will be odd for her filming in Eyrie instead of King’s Landing.
“It was crazy to get out of King’s Landing,” Turner told Hero Complex. “I’ve been there for the past three years of my life. [I went] from having a storyline with nearly everyone in the show, then it was suddenly me and Aiden. It’s nice to have a really meaty chunk of dialogue because Sansa, when she was in King’s Landing, there was no dialogue, so it’s nice to have that change. It is welcome.”
“Game of Thrones” season five in currently in production.
