Dragons Descend on Cyprus Comic Con: House of the Dragon's Clinton Liberty Joins the Lineup!

Clinton Liberty

Special Guest for Cyprus Comic Con 2024

Get ready to bend the knee (or maybe exchange a high five?) because Cyprus Comic Con 2024 is about to get a whole lot more exciting! We’re thrilled to announce that the talented Irish actor Clinton Liberty will be attending as a special guest, bringing a touch of Westeros to our shores.

Clinton Liberty has quickly become one of Hollywood’s rising stars, captivating audiences with his talent, charm, and versatility. While he’s known for various roles across film and television, fans of the HBO hit series House of the Dragon recognize him best as the formidable Addam of Hull, a character set to leave a lasting impression in the highly anticipated Season 2.

Interestingly, Liberty’s journey to stardom didn’t begin in the fantasy world of Westeros but on the dance floors of Laytown, County Meath. His background in dance instilled a strong sense of discipline and precision, traits that served him well as he transitioned into acting. He made his on-screen debut in the 2016 film Handsome Devil, a coming-of-age drama that showcased his early potential.

Since then, Liberty’s career has flourished. He’s tackled diverse roles, such as in the Viaplay spy thriller Red Election, the chilling ITV miniseries Holding (where he starred alongside Game of Thrones alum Conleth Hill), and the heartwarming family film This Christmas. His ability to seamlessly move between genres is a testament to his range as an actor.

Beyond the screen, Liberty is a graduate of the prestigious Lir Academy at Trinity College Dublin and has graced the stage in numerous productions, including Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. His theatre background gives him a depth and nuance that shines through in every role he takes on.

Fans attending Cyprus Comic Con will have a unique opportunity to meet the man behind the dragonrider. Whether you’re eager for an autograph, want to ask him burning questions about House of the Dragon, or are curious about his other captivating projects, this is an encounter you won’t want to miss.

Stay tuned for more details about ticketing, panels, and exclusive meet-and-greet opportunities with Clinton Liberty. In the meantime, brush up on your Westerosi knowledge, binge-watch House of the Dragon, and get ready for an epic event at Cyprus Comic Con 2024!
