Ian Stuart Whyte (born 17 September 1971 in Bangor, Gwynedd, Wales) is a Welsh actor, stuntman and former professional basketball player. He is known for his roles as Predators in Alien vs. Predator (2004) and its sequel Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007), Sheikh Suleiman in the 2010 remake of Clash of the Titans and The Last Engineer in Prometheus (2012).

He also portrayed various characters in the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones (2011-2017) including White Walkers in season 1 and season 2 and a giant in the opening episode of season 3.

In season 5 and season 6, Whyte portrayed the giant Wun Wun. He later played a giant wight in episode 3 of Season 8.

I met Ian at Film & Comic Con Newcastle in March 2014 and at a double bill screening of Predator and Alien vs. Predator organised by the Burnt Church Film Club at The Flying Duck in Glasgow on 12 August 2018.
