'Game of Thrones' Star Kit Harington on Playing Jon Snow
Most TV fans know him as Jon Snow in the hit HBO fantasy-drama series "Game of Thrones" but Kit Harington has a lot more to offer. Taking the big screen this time as the Celtic gladiator Milo, Kit talked about his latest film "Pompeii," which has recently hit the theaters. He revealed so many things during his recent interview, according to Express.
Among the notable ones was his admission that he is still invulnerable from being typecast and that he does not see it as a burden to play an action role of the same kind.
"I think that actors get to be typecast first," the 27-year-old hunk actor said. "I think when they see me in Thrones and they think I did great there, they want to use me doing the same genre," Kit explained.
While he does not seem to see the negative side of being typecast and sees it as a natural thing, the actor is welcome to do something different if given the chance.
"I want to do something more contained in the future, one that will showcase me more as an actor," explained Kit.
The budding actor also remarked on the fact that while others are fighting being typecast there are actors in the past that fit certain roles. Besides being busy in promoting his latest movie, Kit is also shooting season 4 of the "Game of Thrones."
"Jon Snow is an introvert; moody and very serious. He is very serious about his job and taking the world," the actor said when asked about his role in the hit HBO series. But things will have its quick turn for his character, he revealed as he will be leading some men this season, which means that he will be talking more.
In addition to his acting projects, Kit Harrington is also the new face of Jimmy Choo's latest men's collection. He will also be the first male fragrance endorser for the Jimmy Choo Man, which is schedule for launch this September. Kit will also model Jimmy Choo shoes, bags and eyewear.
"I am very excited to be the new face of such remarkable brand and to be defining who the Jimmy Choo man is," said the British actor.
