Likewise, some actors were much shorter than you realize, like Kit Harington who played Jon Snow and is just 5'8''. RELATED: Game of Thrones: 10 Targaryen Tattoos Only Devoted Fans Will Get

But they don't even rank in the top-five. Season 6 (2016) - 9.06 Season 6 of Game Of Thrones has 10 episodes. And you might think others like Nikolaj Coster-Waldau ( Jaime Lanniser), who is 6'2'', Gwendoline Christie (Brienne of Tarth), who is 6'3'), and Jason Momoa (Khal Drogo), who is 6'4'', are among the tallest actors on the show. However, season 3 has so much more brilliance to it, such as Jaime Lannister's heartwarming and insightful arc with Brienne, Jon Snow being with the Wildings, and the usual political excellence from the likes of Tywin, Tyrion, and Olenna. Some might surprise you at the fact that they aren't as tall as you think: Iian Glen, for example, who played Jorah Mormont, is actually taller in real life that Kristofer Hivju, who played Tormund Giantsbane, at 6'1'' versus 6''. While many among the cast of Game of Thrones were taller than average, like Isaac Hempstead Wright, who plays Bran and was 5'11'' by the end of the show (even though his character could never stand) as well as Sophie Turner, who played Sansa Stark and stands at a pretty tall 5'9''.
