Gwendoline Christie
Of course, everyone's favorite Stark protector is on this list! Christie might even top the charts with her staggering height of 6'3. At the beginning of her career, she was told time and time again that she would never work in acting due to her height.

Christie ended up snagging the role of a lifetime as Brienne of Tarth in Game of Thrones. Her tall stature was key in her character, who was always called a "knight" or a "sir" due to her domineering height and no-games attitude.
