Game of Thrones, a beloved fantasy series, featured a tall cast that accurately portrayed the characters from George R. R. Martin's books. From Brienne of Tarth to Khal Drogo, fans were impressed by the towering figures on the show. While some actors like Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (6'2") fit their character's descriptions, others like Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, who played Gregor Clegane, fell short of their book counterparts. 

Characters like Sandor Clegane and Brynden Tully were also portrayed as tall and imposing figures on screen. Unfortunately, Neil Fingleton, who played Mag the Mighty, passed away in 2017. Despite some discrepancies in height, the show's depiction of these larger-than-life characters added to the overall epic feel of Game of Thrones, which concluded in 2019.
