Remembering Neil Fingleton
Posted Mar 3, 2017
Mag the Mighty roars no more. "Game of Thrones" fans know the giant, who fought in the wildling army, died at the end of Season 4 of the show. And this week, Neil Fingleton, the actor who played Mag, died at his home in England. He was just 36. Whether Fingleton liked it or not, there was another number that defined him. At 7-foot-7, Fingleton was the tallest man in Britain.
