"I was doing a hike in the States, and I thought I was really, really by myself in nature," Stradowski said. "I got to the top and it was the second one. The view was stunning.

"The world of 'The Wheel of Time' is growing," said Stradowski. "For Rand, it’s completely different because now he knows that he is the Dragon Reborn. He's the most powerful Channeler of the world, and how do you deal with that if you know that madness is what's coming? So he's really trying to control that, and it's not a clean road. It's definitely messy."

He added: "[In] season three, we’re shooting at the moment, I go through as an actor trying to play these very dramatic scenes. It's very traumatic for the character, and I myself live through that. Your body can't really see and can't really tell the difference. So, you got to be mindful about that."
