Christopher Catesby Harington[2] (born 26 December 1986), known professionally as Kit Harington, is an English actor. He is best known for his role as Jon Snow in the HBO fantasy television series Game of Thrones (2011–2019), for which he received nominations for a Golden Globe Award and two Primetime Emmy Awards.
Christopher Catesby Harington[4] was born on 26 December 1986 in Acton, west London.[5][6] His mother named him after Christopher Marlowe, whose first name was shortened to Kit,[7] a name Harington prefers. He did not learn what his full name was until age eleven.[8] His parents are Sir David Harington, 15th Bt, a businessman and baronet, and former playwright Deborah Jane Catesby. Through his father, Harington descends from Scottish politician Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville.[9] Harington is related to men who were involved on opposite sides of the Gunpowder Plot (1605). He claims a family connection with the leader of the plot, Robert Catesby, on his mother's side, while through his father's side, he is related to King James I, the target of the assassination attempt, and to Lord Harington of Exton, who was in the Houses of Parliament that Catesby and his co-conspirators tried to blow up.[10]
Harington was educated at Southfield Primary School from 1992 to 1998. When he was eleven, the family moved to Worcestershire[11][12] and he attended Chantry High School in Martley until 2003.[13] He became interested in acting after seeing a production of Waiting for Godot when he was fourteen,[14] and he performed in several school productions.[13] He attended Worcester Sixth Form College, where he studied Drama and Theatre (2003–05). When he was seventeen, he was inspired to attend a drama school after seeing a performance by Ben Whishaw as Hamlet in 2004.[11][15] Harington moved back to London in 2005 at the age of 18 after completing Sixth Form and, later that year, enrolled at the Central School of Speech and Drama, where he graduated in 2008.[16][17]
Career
2008–2010: Early work in theatre
Before acting, Harington originally wanted to become a journalist.[18] While still at drama school, he landed the role of Albert in the National Theatre's adaptation of War Horse.[4][18] The play won two Olivier Awards and gained Harington a great deal of recognition. He was later cast in his second play Posh, a dark ensemble comedy about upper-class men attending Oxford University.[4]
2011–2018: Game of Thrones breakthrough and film roles
After War Horse, Harington auditioned for and landed his first television role as Jon Snow in the series Game of Thrones. The show debuted in 2011 to great critical acclaim and was quickly picked up by the network for a second season.[19][20]Game of Thrones takes place on the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos and chronicles the power struggles among noble families as they fight for control of the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms.[21] Jon Snow is introduced as the illegitimate son of Ned Stark, the honourable lord of Winterfell, an ancient fortress in the North of the fictional continent of Westeros.[22] Harington's role was largely filmed in Iceland and Northern Ireland.[23] The series concluded its run with its eighth season in April 2019.[24]
Harington made his feature film debut in 2012 as Vincent in Silent Hill: Revelation. The horror film was based on the survival horror video game Silent Hill 3, and was a sequel to the film Silent Hill.[29] He was honoured with Actor of the Year at the Young Hollywood Awards 2013, which celebrates the best emerging young talent in film, music and television.[30]
Harington's first major lead role in a feature film occurred when he played Milo in the film Pompeii. Production for the film commenced in 2013 and took place in and around Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Some scenes were also shot in the actual city of Pompeii itself.[31] The film was panned by critics and met with modest box office success.[32][33] That year, Harington also voiced Eret in the DreamWorks Animation film How to Train Your Dragon 2,[34] which was a critically acclaimed box office success,[35] won the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film and received an Academy Award nomination.[36][37]
In 2014, Harington also appeared alongside Jeff Bridges in the film Seventh Son, a poorly received fantasy–adventure film.[38] Harington played Billy Bradley, Bridges' first apprentice killed early in the film by a character played by Julianne Moore. Ben Barnes, Alicia Vikander and Emily Watson also star.[39] The film was released in wide distribution in the UK on 16 January 2015. Its world premiere was in The Centrepiece Gala, supported by the Mayor of London, at the British Film Institute London Film Festival in October 2014.[40][41]
In 2016, Harington starred as Salen Kotch, the main villain in the first-person shooter video game Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.[49] That same year he starred in a West End production of Doctor Faustus.[50] The production, as well as his performance, received unfavourable critical reviews.[51][52]
In June 2018, it was announced that Harington would star in the West End upcoming stage play True West, written by Sam Shepard and directed by Matthew Dunster. The play premiered in November 2018 at the Vaudeville Theatre in London and closed in February 2019.[54][55]
2020–present
In 2020, Harington took part in a virtual performance of an extract from the play Burn by playwright Chris Thompson.[56]
In September 2020, it was announced[57] that he would appear in the second season of the Netflix anthology series Criminal: UK. The series premiered on 16 September to positive reviews.[58]
In March 2022, Harrington played the titular role in Donmar Warehouse's run of Henry V.[62]
In May, it was announced that Harington would star in Mary’s Monster, a film about author Mary Shelley's mental struggle to write her 1818 novel Frankenstein.[63] That same month, he also joined Scoot McNairy and Josh Lucas in the action thriller Blood for Dust.[64] In June 2022, A Song of Ice and Fire author George R. R. Martin revealed that a Jon Snowspin-off series was in early development, and that it was Harington who first brought the idea for the project.[65] Harington later revealed that the show was no longer in development, stating that the team "couldn't find the right story to tell" and that the project was "off the table for the forseeable future."[66][67] In March 2023, Harington featured in the Apple TV+ series Extrapolations as Nicholas Bilton.[68]
Harington is producing a TV thriller, Empire of Dirt described as "a very British Western" about a maven who discovers his family is running a drugs racket.[69]
Personal life
In 2017, Harington purchased a £1.75 million 15th-century country home outside Ipswich, Suffolk.[70]
Harington began a relationship with his Game of Thrones co-star Rose Leslie in 2011. They announced their engagement through the 'Forthcoming Marriages' section of The Times on 27 September 2017.[71]
On 23 June 2018, the couple married at Rayne Parish Church in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.[72] In September 2020, Leslie posed for a magazine photo shoot visibly pregnant.[73] They had a son, by February 2021.[74] In February 2023, Harington announced he and Leslie were expecting their second child.[75] In July 2023, the couple confirmed the birth of their daughter.[76]
In May 2019, Harington checked into a mental health and wellness facility to seek help for "some personal issues".[77][78] In 2024, Harington opened up about his struggles with anxiety and alcoholism and revealed that he had been diagnosed with attention deficit disorder while in rehab.[79][80][81]
Since April 2016, Harington has been an ambassador for The Royal Mencap Society; a leading organisation in the United Kingdom helping people with learning difficulties that also provides support for their families and caregivers.[86] On 16 April 2016, he was appointed as a patron of Longlands Care Farm, a charity located on a working livestock farm in Worcestershire, in which they care for, mentor and support disadvantaged and vulnerable young people aged 14 – 19 who are not succeeding in mainstream education.[87][88][89] On 12 September 2016, Harington, as well as Cate Blanchett, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Peter Capaldi, Douglas Booth, Neil Gaiman, Keira Knightley, Juliet Stevenson, Jesse Eisenberg, and Stanley Tucci, featured in a video from the United Nations' refugee agency UNHCR to help raise awareness of the global refugee crisis.[90] The video, titled "What They Took With Them", has the actors reading a poem, written by Jenifer Toksvig and inspired by primary accounts of refugees, and is part of UNHCR's #WithRefugees campaign, which also includes a petition to governments to expand asylum to provide further shelter, integrating job opportunities, and education.[91]
In August 2017, with a video backing Mencap #StopSleepInCrisis, Harington called on the government to fund six years' back pay for overnight carers. In a personal message of support, Harington said: "The learning disability sector in the UK is on the brink of crisis. It is faced with a back-pay bill of £400 million which it cannot pay. Many of the providers of this essential, 'sleep-in' service, face bankruptcy. And some of the most vulnerable people in our society will be left, without care, without hope and without an independent future. Stand with Mencap and stand with the incredible people our colleagues support and care for every day."[92]
In 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Harington supported a humanitarian campaign by starring in a video where he asked to help Ukrainian refugees.[94] Harington auctioned off signed Game of Thrones memorabilia to support Ukraine.[95]
