Once I realized you're asking about the mostly forgotten Fox sitcom that ran from 2000 to 2002, and not the much-better-known 1999 Shakespearean film adaptation of the same name, I was able to find out for you.

Of course, comedic supporting man David Shatraw would have been out of place opposite Anthony Hopkins in the gory adaptation of Shakespeare's tale of Rome at war. The working-stiff sitcom starring popular standup comic Christopher Titus was a much better fit for him.

Q: On "Game of Thrones," is the actress who plays Brienne actually as tall as they make her seem? I know there's a certain amount of special-effects work in fantasy, but I can't tell if she's real or not.

In a fantasy-genre story like "Game of Thrones," where fighting ability is a major factor in a person's apparent worth, it's not surprising that author George R.R. Martin put a lot of emphasis on size. But so did the casting agents: actress Gwendoline Christie is the real deal.

She stands at six-foot-three, and dedicated herself to a gruelling gym regimen to get in shape for the role -- boxing, yoga, kickboxing and, she says, lots of protein.
