Hold the door! For Kristian Nairn, because he’s got to get inside to do a D.J. gig. The Game of Thrones actor, who played disyllabic helpmate Hodor until last Sunday’s tragic episode, has another career as an electronic-music D.J., one that’s been flourishing since his character’s heroic demise.

That’s what his agent tells Page Six anyway, saying, “his demand has shot up, with offers coming in from all over the world. Funny how some people get famous after they die.” That is funny! Though, of course, Kristian Nairn is not dead; it’s only his character on the make-’em-up show about dragons who is dead. Nairn himself is alive and well and spinning his smooth beats all over the globe. His touring D.J. gig is called “Rave of Thrones,” like the name of the show, and it’s a big hit.

That video I linked to in the first paragraph is from the hot L’Envers club in Nancy, France, a student city that knows how to party proper. So if they want Hodor D.J.-ing at their nightclubs, then you know he’s the real deal. And if his character’s death—a hard reality that will come for almost all the actors on that show eventually—means he gets a little booking bump? Then I say ride that wave, my Bran-carrying friend. Ride it all the way to whatever heaven the Westerosi believe in. Or, at least, ride it to more underground clubs in continental Europe. That’s close enough to heaven, probably.
