It's all rather relative, though. I mean, I remember many calling Lucy Lawless "big" when on Xena... and she was only 5ft 9in. and a size 6. However, for TV, that's positively zaftig.
As a comparison, by the end the entire cast of BtVS was less than 5ft 7in. with poor Amber Bensen looked like the more 'rounded' one at a 'whomping' size 4! She could shop in the petites section and wear sample sizes. (I met her in person once and the woman is tiny... which really made me wonder about the rest of the cast...)
This woman is 6ft 3in (and that's what she's willing to claim so she's probably even taller than that. Men round up... women of a certain height round down) That's going to be quite a difference from 5ft 5in Lena Heady. That's almost but not quite a foot difference in stature.
And, while I realize she isn't Martin ugly, she isn't exactly going to become a Victoria's secret model either - http://spinoff.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Gwendoline-Christie-300x199.png
The only real question for me is whether or not she can act. But there's no way to really know that.
