GAME OF THRONES - DORK SHELF: Kit Harington Video Interview
With the premiere of HBO’s epic fantasy series
Game of Thrones less than two weeks away, the hype surrounding the show contiunues to increase. The sprawling TV adaptation, based on author
George R. R. Martin’s revered
A Song of Ice and Fire novels, is already winning rave reviews from critics and fans alike. The Shelf had the opportunity to see the first two episodes of the show earlier this week and came away very impressed.
Today we were lucky enough to speak with actor
Kit Harington (in Toronto filming
Silent Hill: Revelation), who plays Jon Snow in
Game of Thrones. As the bastard son of Lord Eddard Stark (
Sean Bean), Snow is the black sheep of his family. In an effort to find his place in the world, Jon joins the Night’s Watch; a once proud order of warriors dedicated to defending the northern reaches of the kingdom from an unknown threat. We discussed the audition process, the character of Jon Snow, the sprawling and illustrious cast, Thrones fan sites, and what he keeps on his dork shelf.
Game of Thrones premieres April 17, 2011 on HBO at 9/8C.
