Director Richard Shepard told the New York Post: €œI love Game of Thrones, but I didn€™t recognise her because she didn€™t have her wig. "I€™m literally like, €˜What have you been doing lately?€™ And she said €˜Oh, I€™ve been doing this show.€™€‰€Shepard responded, €œOh? What€™s the show?€ Thankfully, after an inevitably awkward conversation, Clarke landed the part.
