21 Game Of Thrones Stars Before Game Of Thrones

9. Hodor

The gigantic Hodor is played by the Northern Irish actor and musician Kristian Nairn.  He definitely has no problems with learning the lines for ‘’Game of Thrones,’’ since his character only knows one word – his name.

“Unlike in the book, where Hodor’s emotions are portrayed by a combination of the single word, the situation, and the reader’s imagination, I have a very powerful medium to use as well: my body language. I was partially deaf when I was a child, and often in school, before I was fixed, I had to read context and emotions from people’s faces and body language. That’s also a huge part of sign language, and my knowledge of that (although I’m extremely out of practice) has put me in good stead for this part.”

Kristian is a successful DJ in real life and he has performed alongside acts such as the Scissor Sisters. ‘’Game of Thrones’’ is his first major acting role. He is a big fan of comic books and the genres of science-fiction, fantasy and horror in both films and on TV.
