Proud and handsome Jon Snow is one of the most memorable characters in the "Game of Thrones" series based on the saga "A Song of Ice and Fire" by George Martin. The difficult fate of the hero was a breakthrough in Keith Harrington's acting career.
In the series "Game of Thrones" Jon Snow has become an important character in the events taking place behind the Wall. He was born of an unknown woman and was taken as an infant to the home of his father, Lord Stark. John was brought up on a par with his blood brothers and sisters, taught everything that a noble young man should be able to do.
However, those around him remembered his origin and constantly called John a bastard and illegitimate. The closest in the family to him was his younger sister Arya Stark, to whom he gave a sword before renouncing his former life and leaving for the Night Watch.
Kit Harrington took his character's fate to heart. During filming, he read not only the script, but also books. However, the actor did not get ahead of himself in order to keep the plot development intrigue for himself. Having received a note from the writers about the imminent death of his hero, Harrington, according to the press, even burst into tears.
Filming in the series gave the young star not only a chance to be noticed by directors and star in other projects, but also a new relationship. With the performer of the role of Daenerys, Emilia Clarke, Keith made a strong friendship. And with his on-screen lover, played by Irishwoman Rose Leslie, the actor even had an affair.
In life, Kit Harrington is not as courageous as his character. The actor is afraid to fly on an airplane, to put injections and spiders. He basically does not start accounts on social networks and does not like to discuss the fact that his ancestor was the English king Charles II.
