The proud and handsome John Snow is one of the most memorable characters in the series "Game of Thrones" based on the saga "Song of Ice and Fire" by George Martin. The difficult fate of the hero was a breakthrough in the acting career of Keith Harrington.
In the series Game of Thrones, John Snow became an important hero in the events behind the Wall. He was born of an unknown woman and was taken to the house of his father, Lord Stark, in infancy. John was brought up along 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 bastard and illegitimate. Closest to everyone in the family was his younger sister, Arya Stark, to whom he presented the sword before renouncing his former life and leaving for the Night Watch.
Keith Harrington took the fate of his character to heart. During the filming, he read not only the script, but also books. However, the actor did not get ahead of himself in order to preserve for himself the intrigue of the development of the plot. Having received a note from the scriptwriters 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 Daenerys, Emilia Clark, Keith made a strong friendship. And with his on-screen sweetheart, played by Irish rose Leslie, the actor even developed an affair.
In life, Keith Harrington is not as brave as his character. The actor is afraid to fly a plane, to put injections and spiders. He basically does not open accounts on social networks and does not like to discuss the fact that his ancestor was the English king Charles II.
