Naast Poes Minoes heeft de HBO serie Game of Thrones ook nog een andere Nederlandse acteur, namelijk Michiel Huisman die in de TV serie de rol van Daario Naharis speelt. Nu had de website Collider dit interview met hem over zijn rol en meer. Zoals bijvoorbeeld het verschil tussen Nederland en Amerika.


Well, you've done a ton of stuff. It feels like you're in everything nowadays: Games of Thrones, Orphan Black, this movie [The Age of Adaline], The Invitation... Where do you find the time to do all this?

HUISMAN
: Thanks. I don't know. Last year when I shot this movie, The Age of Adaline, it was a little crazy how everything fell into place. It was really a puzzle to get all these projects in. But I'd say the thing is you're always building your career, for lack of a better term. All of a sudden I feel like I'm getting to the point where there's a little bit of momentum and you want to build on that, you want to use that. I feel like this is the time to work and shoot and hopefully portray a big array of characters. The time to relax comes later.

What was that transition like, going from Amsterdam to here, from foreign films to U.S. cinemas?

HUISMAN
: It was a big change. And a leap of faith because I had a career [but] I had decided I was going to say goodbye to it. I wanted to change the game a little bit. I really wanted to try here or maybe do something else with my life. I needed a change. For me, Treme gave me the opportunity to really do that and ground whatever I was going do, because it was not just a project that took a month. We shot for three and a half, four years. I made New Orleans my home. Although the show was not a huge success, it was very well regarded and kind of helped me to get my footing and take the next step.
