Zombiefied Mountain still played by Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson?

I was suprised that Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson is still portraying zombified Mountain and did so for the past seasons. At least that is what IMDb says. Of course he's not that busy as an actor, but still made a name of himself, so it is a bit surprising that he puts himself in the shiny armor for this little screentime. And with the purple skin and red eyes they really could have used any bigger built stuntman or so. I don't think anybody would have noticed. Ok, some fanboys might have.... But it's nice to know he still acts the part. If not, it would've been a fourth actor to do so.

why? it's a good gig. and those Atlas stones are expensive

Where would you find a stuntman built as big as him?

[–] BanditOne (97) 6 years ago

Well, size-wise he's 2.06. Big, but not unusual. But I know what you mean. Maybe some of his less-famous brothers here :)

This is a US website. Please use real measurements.

Jeez pal, THAT'S your biggest problem right now? It's a big world out there and you have to point out differences instead of focusing on movies and TV Shows (the actual point of this website)? You got issues mate....

Those are real measurements. Not BanditOne's fault that the US isn't in metric.

And the rest of the world uses metric, so get with it

[–] eYeDEF (5050) 6 years ago

The US should go metric because it is a superior system. But we won't because we're stubborn and retro.

There's a multi-hundred million dollar Mars orbiter reduced to a useless scrap heap on Mars right now because the rocket scientists at NASA forgot to do the metric conversion.

I have often pondered if he’s still in the role so thanks for filling me in.
