He was also seen in the 2019 romantic-comedy film Last Christmas. House of the Dragons, which served as a manual to introduce characters and set the context, witnessed Criston Cole as the champion in a jousting tournament. During an interaction with TV Line, Frankel confirmed that Criston Cole's character will appear in more than one episode. Frankel spoke about the character and called him "ballsy" for seeking the favor of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen after defeating her uncle, Daemon Targaryen, in a jousting tournament. He said: I think that he is a pretty ballsy guy. And I think that there is definitely a feeling, being from a low-born family. Frankel added: In a world of blonde wigs, you have a dark-haired man who has a different-coloured skin, not like the other people. So, I think there's definitely a feeling of isolation. Therefore, that comes with like a boldness that sort of enables him to be in a position to ask (for the Princess' favor). House of the Dragon@HouseofDragonSworn protector.

He hails from Dorne, a kingdom that drew sour relationships between the house of Martell and the Lannisters in the Game of Thrones series. Dorne's reference also brings back memories of one of the most brutal face-offs in the series, between Oberyn Martell and Gregor Clegane aka the Mountain. It remains to be seen how Frankel's Ser Criston Cole will be placed in the House of the Dragon. New episodes of House of the Dragon will stream on HBO and HBO Max on Sunday, August 28, ET/6 pm. The first episode is available in India on Disney+ Hotstar. × Rate this story! Thank You!
