Kit Harington: From Westeros to Wimbledon and Wall Street

Kit Harington, known for his serious role as Jon Snow in "Game of Thrones, " showed a different side of his talent in a lesser-known HBO project. This project, a sports spoof called "7 Days in Hell, " is a hilarious mockumentary that many fans might have missed. It's about a never-ending tennis match, inspired by a real-life marathon match between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut in 2010. Harington plays Charles Poole, a British tennis player who is far from the stoic Jon Snow. Charles is a bit of a goofball, often struggling to follow conversations and using the word "indubitably" incorrectly. The movie is packed with funny moments, like Charles standing alone in a hotel room, staring at the wall. Andy Samberg plays his opponent, Aaron Williams, a chaotic American tennis player who causes all sorts of trouble during the match. The film also features real tennis stars like Serena Williams and John McEnroe, adding to its charm.After "Game of Thrones, " Harington took a break from acting but made a comeback in HBO's "Industry. " In this show, he plays Henry Muck, a wealthy but troubled CEO. Henry's character is quite different from Charles Poole, showing Harington's range as an actor. In the fourth season, Henry's marriage to Yasmin Kara-Hanani adds a new dynamic to the show, giving Harington more explosive scenes to work with. Harington's journey from playing a serious role in "Game of Thrones" to a comedic one in "7 Days in Hell" and then to a dramatic yet chaotic character in "Industry" shows his versatility. It's great to see him explore different roles and prove his talent beyond the world of Westeros.
