Gwendoline Christie, a “classy shopper” in “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus,” has been cast as Brienne in HBO’s “A Game Of Thrones.”

The 6’3” Christie is at least large, as demonstrated by this photo with her tiny pal, “Pushing Daisies” icon Anna Friel:
A dragon-enhanced “Thrones” returns early next year.
