In fact, according to the “House of the Dragon” actress, that’s part of the fun of her job. “I don’t want to play characters that have to be liked universally,” Cooke reveals on this episode of WrapWomen’s “UnWrapped” Podcast. “That’s sort of like the beauty of what we do.”

  • Reveals her go-to hangover cure after a night out with castmates: “milk thistle”
