Beyond the Throne

The first memoir from a Game of Thrones actor about the franchise, from Kristian Nairn who played Hodor, which also includes his fascinating life story that equipped him to play the part.

Beyond the Throne will cover in detail Kristian's extraordinary time on 'Thrones', including how the show was made and what the actors behind the characters were like. Kristian was auditioned 'off-the-street' with no formal acting training, and yet became one of the series' best-loved characters with arguably the most moving exit scene.



His memoir will also explain how Kristian grew his confidence to take his place in one of the biggest franchises of the 21st Century: he survived a difficult childhood growing up gay in 80s Belfast at the height of the Troubles to tentatively becoming a 6ft 10 inch drag queen, DJing in Belfast's legendary nightclub Kremlin.



A true story of an outsider who found his voice, Beyond the Throne will appeal to 'Thrones' fans around the world as well as anyone who has ever struggled to find their place in society.
