Actress Tamzin Merchant was originally cast to play Daenerys for the original GoT pilot, but she and several other actors were fired and replaced when producers decided to revamp the entire thing. She never talked about it publicly until she did an interview with Entertainment Weekly in January 2021 and revealed that she was relieved she was let go. She said the experience was an affirmation about listening to her instincts and following them, because she tried to back out of the pilot and, during the contract process, she did back out. But she was talked back into it by some persuasive people. Then she found herself naked and afraid in Morocco filming a sex scene. She said, "It was a lesson that if my guts are telling me a story isn't something I'm excited to tell, then I shouldn't try to be excited just because other people are telling me that I should be excited. I didn't have any training as an actor, I only have my instincts. And what excites me and what drives me is a compelling story and a compelling character. So for me, Game of Thrones was never that. I think it's a testament to Emilia Clarke for making that role iconic. She was obviously excited to tell that story, and she was epic and excellent. But for me, it wasn't in my heart to tell it."
