Criston Cole's death scene on House of the Dragon was the first fight Fabien Frankel ever learned for the show

Criston Cole dies in House of the Dragon season 3, episode 6 — Fabien Frankel's final scene after 21 episodes across three seasons. Frankel told The Hollywood Reporter that the death-scene duel was the first long choreography sequence he learned for the show. His first scene, in the season-one premiere, was also a sword fight — against Matt Smith's Daemon Targaryen.
