Hiatus is coming for “Game of Thrones” stars Kristain Nairn and Isaac Hempstead-Wright. In a recent interview Nairn revealed their characters weren’t scheduled to appear on Season 5 of HBO’s hit fantasy series.
“We have a season off and we have a year’s hiatus, solely because I imagine our storyline is up to the end of the books,” the Northern Irish actor toldย Yahoo! News.
Nairn plays a half-giant named Hodor who is loyal to the oft-murdered Stark clan and has been protecting young Bran Stark (Hempstead-Wright) from various antagonizing forces for several seasons. Hodor’s role in the show is small, but his character — who only says “Hodor” — is a fan favorite.
