It’s safe to say that Kit Harington is one of the biggest reasons that Game of Thrones has become a phenomenon — some are calling Sunday’s Season 6 finale the best hour (and nine minutes) of television ever produced.
His character, Jon Snow, has been through so much in 60 episodes that he had to plead with a priestess not to bring him back to life he he were killed. That’s this show’s equivalent of retirement. It’s a far cry from the young, snappy, fresh-faced actor who auditioned for the role in 2010.
