Gregor Clegane

Gregor Clegane, infamously known as “The Mountain That Rides,” looms as one of the most formidable and intimidating figures in the “Game of Thrones” universe. His towering presence and brutal demeanor, accurately portrayed on the show, remain consistent with his description in George R. R. Martin’s books. The book vividly depicted him in the literary realm as freakishly tall and relentlessly violent, mirroring his on-screen portrayal.

It’s worth noting that the character underwent an intriguing evolution in the show, with three different actors taking on the role: Conan Stevens in the first season, Ian Whyte in the second, and Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson from season four onwards. This transition underscores the character’s enduring presence and the terrifying legacy he leaves in his wake.
