House of the Dragon actor Matt Smith has made a surprising statement, announcing that he will never appear in another fantasy show after his role in the highly anticipated Game of Thrones prequel. Smith, who is best known for his portrayal of the eleventh Doctor in the long-running British TV series Doctor Who, has apparently become disenchanted with the genre.

Smith's statement came as a shock to fans, as many were eagerly anticipating seeing him in future fantasy projects. However, the actor explained that he wants to challenge himself and explore different types of roles.

Despite this announcement, Smith expressed his gratitude for being a part of House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones, citing his excitement to work with such talented individuals. He also acknowledged the tremendous impact and popularity of the Game of Thrones franchise.

It is unclear what type of projects Smith intends to pursue in the future, but his decision to distance himself from the fantasy genre indicates his desire to diversify his acting portfolio. It will be interesting to see what roles he takes on next and how this decision will impact his career.

For now, fans will have to wait and see if Smith's statement holds true and if he will indeed stay away from fantasy shows.

Regardless, his work in House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on viewers.
