Actor Kristian Nairn who played “Hodor” in the Game of Thrones isn’t holding the door anymore but it’s the disk mixer. The Irish actor Kristian Nairn is set to DJ the 22nd annual Critics Choice Awards according to an exclusive revelation in Entertainment Weekly. Kristian Nairn who played “Hodor” appeared to be the unforeseen hero during a heartwarming and soul-breaking episode 6 of Game of Thrones.
