Celebrity Encounters, Volume 8 Kristian Nairn is the actor who portrayed Hodor in GoT, and he has been accurately called a Gentle Giant. At MCCC, he more than lived up to that name, spending time and generously accommodating every fan. My friend, Gonzalo is a huge fan from Mexico, and sent one of his pop culture exvotos as a gift for the beloved actor. Mr. Nairn was overjoyed and received the gift in the gracious manner in which it was intended. The painting is roughly 8 x 10, but in Kristian's hands, it almost seems like a baseball card in size.
