At just 11 years old, Dexter Sol Ansell has made a significant leap into international stardom through his portrayal of Aegon "Egg" Targaryen in HBO Max's new series El caballero de los Siete Reinos.

Ansell's performance has captivated viewers since his first appearance, proving his ability to embody a character integral to the Targaryen lineage.
