Supergirl herself Milly Alcock says someone "high up" at HBO told her she needed an acting coach during her very first week of filming House of the Dragon.

"On my second day on House of the Dragon, one of the - I’m not gonna say who, but someone very high up - pulled me aside and was like, ‘Um, we're gonna get you an acting coach,'" Alcock said during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon (via Entertainment Weekly).

"It just confirmed everything that I’ve kind of known to be true, [which] is that I’m not very good at my job," she joked. "You know what I mean! I was like, 'I can’t do this. This is terrible. This is a big mistake.'"
