Although Game of Thrones season two won’t premiere until spring of 2012, filming is currently underway in beautiful northern Ireland. Though the entire cast is understandably busy, we were able to catch up with the cast member who plays the over-sized, one-word-wonder, Hodor aka Kristian Narin. Corresponding via email, we asked him if he would like to reach out to the fans and answer a few questions, and he was happy to oblige! HBO Watch would like to thank Mr. Narin for his time and we hope you enjoy our conversation with the man who brought the laughable, lovable, Hodor to HBO’s silver screen!
Be sure to keep an eye out for the new up and coming web series “Anubis”.
Write up from Reston.Patch.com
Imagine if the black plague hit Northern Virginia in 2011, with germ warfare and people running and screaming and fighting for their lives. It’s a plot that Ruben Najera has been thinking about for 15 years. He is turning it into a web series titled Anubis, which he hopes to begin airing this fall.
Najera, a producer at Comcast Cable’s Reston studio, is the producer, director, writer, editor and financier of Anubis (named for the Egyptian god of death).
Kate Welch (SheGeekShow) and Chris Pope (Tech Jives Network / Social Stars Web) from the Beyond The Wall Podcast interviewed Kristian May 19th 2011.
15 Minutes of Fame: Azeroth to Westeros with Game of Thrones’ Kristian Nairn
So Hodor — no, not Hodir, Hodor … although come to think of it, they’re both rather remarkable in stature, and … awww, heck, set thy nose to the page if you haven’t yet read George R.R. Martin’s best-selling Song of Ice and Fire series and you don’t know who Hodor is. These are characters that’ll grab you by the short hairs — it’s the ride of a lifetime. In the meantime, settle in with us for the first of two interviews with Kristian Nairn, from Azeroth to Westeros and back again.

INTERVIEW WITH KRISTIAN NAIRN
Below you’ll find our interview with Kristian Nairn, who plays Hodor, the simple-minded, giant stableboy of Winterfell. We discuss a number of topic related to the series, such as his audition tape (which briefly leaked to the public via the internet), his approach to playing Hodor, the travails of appearing nude in a scene, Margret John’s reaction when she first she first met him, a song that he heard entirely too much of while on set, and more! Isaac Hempstead-Wright, Conan Stevens, and Rory McCann are also mentioned in the course of the interview.
