Hodor finds his voice to criticise people watching high-production shows on tablets

The actor who plays monosyllabic character Hodor in Game of Thrones finds his voice in a new Samsung ad which pokes fun at people who watch high quality content on “one of those old itablet thingies”.

The ad for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 pastiches Game of Thrones with actor Kristian Nairn, whose character in the show can only say the word ‘Hodor’, breaks character during a scene to stop the shoot because the viewer is not using a screen worthy of the effort they go to to create the special effects.
