India, Sept. 12 -- Fabien Frankel achieved global recognition with his role in the Game of Thrones' spinoff series House of the Dragon. Now, the actor is starring in a new thriller miniseries, Task, alongside an ensemble cast led by actor Mark Ruffalo. Talking exclusively to us, he reflects on the experience. Gushing over his co-star, Fabien says, "Mark has a thing where it feels like he's not attached to any version of what the scene should be. It's weird because coming from a drama school background, you sort of try to plan how everything's going to be. But Mark's from a different school of acting where it feels like he's constantly living in the moment." The 31-year-old also reveals he has a close connection with India: "My grandma grew up in Mumbai, so I have a lot of love for India. Also, my best friend from drama school was in RRR (2022). He's the main guy in the big dance sequence in Naatu Naatu, who dances opposite the Indian actors. All the students of my year from my drama school watched that movie together in support of him and I thought that the film was incredible." While the story of Task is emotionally heavy, Fabien insists the shooting experience was quite light-hearted. "In many ways, the job was easy, because the atmosphere on set was so amazing - set by Brad Ingelsby (creator), Jeremiah Zagar and Salli Richardson-Whitfield (producers), and Mark. I felt invigorated going to work, opposed to maybe other jobs that I have found more difficult to do, as I suppose they have taken a toll on me to some extent," he says. Ask how he deals with the global craze around House of the Dragon, and the actor responds, "You try not to think about it. In my experience, if you're ever lucky enough to be a part of anything that makes it outside of the country, then you just count your blessings. But certainly, I've never gone into a project thinking about the global reach it's going to have." Humbled by his popularity outside the US, Fabien says, "I'm happy that House of the Dragon has such global reach and it's thanks to the legacy that Game of Thrones brings. But I don't personally feel a sort of adoration for myself."...
