How Kit Harington Left Jon Snow Behind

The New York Timesentertainment

Key Points:

  • Kit Harington stars in HBO's "Industry" as Sir Henry Muck, a privileged tech boss who struggles to do good despite his inherent flaws and the corrupt environment around him.
  • Unlike his heroic Jon Snow character in "Game of Thrones," Harington’s new role is morally ambiguous, reflecting a more dishonorable figure trying to navigate a ruthless world.
  • Harington is noted for his down-to-earth attitude on set, making efforts to connect with the crew and maintain a humble demeanor despite his fame.
  • The show's creators intentionally cast Harington to subvert expectations, transforming his "honorable" Jon Snow image into a complex character in a morally compromised setting.
