Please welcom Ian Whyte Ian Whyte was born on 17 September 1971 in Bangor, North Wales, UK, and brought up in Brighton. His length is 2.16 m (7′ 1″). Before acting, he was an international basketball player for nine years. In 2004, he played the iconic Predator in Paul W. Anderson’s sci-fi action film Alien vs. Predator (AVP). In 2007, Whyte reprised his role as Predator in AVP: Requiem. He was Frances De La Tour’s body double for the role of the tall Madame Maxime, Head Mistress of the Beauxbatons Academy, in the Harry Potter series. Ian continues to play fearsome horror, fantasy and science fiction characters. He played, for example, Sheikh Suliema in Clash of the Titans, Oozaru in Dragonball:Evolution and the Last Engineer in Ridley Scott’s Prometheus. In the second season of Game of Thrones, he has a recurring part as the fearsome and sinister Gregor Clegane.     |

Small names are fun to. That way you can have a longer conversation with them then with guests that have huge lines. Like Leah Cairns from BSG (no leadrole, but still an amazing performance in the series) some years ago, had a great talk with her.
British actor, maybe Harry Potter?

Leah Cairns was indeed fun. Enjoyed her very much. A tall, yet fairly small actor... curious as to whom it might be... |

Awesome!  I was expecting some Dr. Who actor or something, but this is great news (despite my hatred for the AVP films). Great guest, Facts! |

Actually, I never noticed it was a man who played Madame Olympe Maxime in the Goblet of Fire. It's not him, he is just the body double for her. I like the characters he has played, but probably going to pass on him. I'll save my money for something else. Maybe a sketch from guest 20? |

It's not him, he is just the body double for her. And all body doubles do is be there for camera placement. |

...would he be so nice that he'll agree to sign at the bottom of my 1/1 bust? ;D otherwise I'll bring it along... well.... HE DID IT!!!!he autographed my full scale wolf bust! in fact, he was even enthousiastic about me bringing it in , Ian said; "hey, this is fantastic..." and I replied like;"yeah , you 've made it that way...." ...meaning that another actor could have (easily) bodged up the character...and the suit is nothing without the person in it. ...there was a spark in his eyes when I replied that...absolutely great! ...why didn't anybody mention he played (one of) the gods in Prometheus?  |
