Game of Thrones - the new Mountain seems rather mountainous

The third actor to play Gregor Clegane, the Mountain the Rides, certainly seems to have the bulk to play the part. He's a bit on the short side, though.

But, I don't think I'd want to tell that to a guy named "Hafthor"



(Lena Headey is 5'5" by comparison...)

they can work wonders.

Though, I would liked to have seen Daniel Gilchrist - the 7'7" guy who played Andre the Giant in the biopic - get the part.
