Why Did Grey Worm Do It?

Weiss said that director Miguel Sapochnik asked Anderson, who plays the leader of the ruthless Unsullied troops, to improvise something in the fantasy language of Valyrian to rally his soldiers.

The producers said that:

“Jacob was so tired and so delirious and so out of it all that all he could think to yell was, ‘Mike Pence! Mike Pence! Mike Pence!’ So in one of those scenes when Jacob is yelling and pointing…what he was actually saying was ‘Mike Pence’ “

Of course, the scene got later dubbed over with a command in Valyrian, and Anderson was wearing a mask, Weiss said so that the audience couldn’t really read his lips.
