Kristian Nairn in Conversation: Beyond the Throne

Beyond the Throne book cover

Join acclaimed actor Kristian Nairn (Hodor in Game of Thrones) for a conversation about the untold stories from behind the scenes of HBO’s epic, era-defining Game of Thrones — and his new memoir, Beyond the Throne.

From his unlikely audition to his on-the-job training as an actor to his ascendance as one of the most beloved and pivotal characters on the show, Nairn’s new memoir draws back the curtain on the making of Game of Thrones. With humor and candor, Nairn opens up about the camaraderie that developed as the actors faced the elements on set — in some cases mirroring the challenges their characters endured onscreen — and the life-altering effects of worldwide stardom. In this special conversation, hear Nairn discuss his fascinating journey — growing up queer in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, his rise through the world of nightclubs and drag shows in Belfast, touring internationally as one of Ireland’s most prolific DJs, performing alongside Fatboy Slim, and his inside view of one of the biggest shows in the history of television.
