This is old (like 6 or 7 months) but it is the first time I’ve seen it and I found it interesting. The actors under the make-up including Leaf, The Night King and The Shame Nun (Unella, I believe).

Just HOW tall is Neil Fingleton anyway? Damn!

ETA: Googled… about 7 1/2 feet!!

ETA 2: Gwendoline Christie (Brienne) is quite stunning too.

See post 551, if you hadn’t already.

Of course I saw it. I responded to it! With a quote and everything!

Fingelton was a good high school BB player but he was mostly a flop in college at UNC and Holy Cross from 1998 to 2002.

For fans of Rose Leslie (Ygritte), she’s now on CBS’s The Good Fight: - YouTube

It appears Neil Fingleton died today at 36 of a heart attack. Still looking for a link to confirm.

This is all I have found so far: from a Dr. Who site. No further information, just that he died of a heart attack this week.

Remind me which character he portrayed?

The giant i believe.

here is an article that confirms his passing

Doesn’t say what he died from so young.

Heart failure. Pumping blood around a body that big takes a toll.

season 7 starts on Sun. July 16th

Woo-hoo!

Teaser for next season. No spoilers. Not much, really. Just reminders of what happened (and probably what’s important).

Can’t wait… but I guess I’ll have to.

So has Global Cooling finally started?

Winter finally came last season.
