DETROIT, MI - The actor who plays Hodor, a popular character in the HBO TV series "Game of Thrones," is coming a Detroit night club in February.

DJ Kristian Nairn will appear at V Nightclub inside the MGM Grand casino in Detroit on Feb. 28. "The Rave of Thrones" tour will feature Nairn spinning electric and dance music. Doors open at 10 p.m. Tickets are $25.

Nairn, who is 6-foot-10, plays a simple-minded servant in Game of Thrones, helping the paralyzed prince Bran Stark move. He's known for saying only one word, his own name, "Hodor." Fans of the show have embraced the line, sharing "Hodor" on social media or in comments on stories. Even Google joined the fun, returning this when you search "Hodor":

Nairn made news last year when he came out as gay. He told Rolling Stone in March:



Game of Thrones made news regarding Hodor in November, when it was revealed

he won't appear in Season 5 of the show

. That may explain why Nairn has plenty of time for a DJ tour before the series returns to HBO in April.

V Nightclub inside MGM Grand Detroit is located at 1777 Third St. in Detroit.
