From the curly locks to the brooding spirit, actor Kit Harington seems born to play the role of Jon Snow.
The former Lord Commander of the Night's Watch recently made a triumphant return to "Game of Thrones" after being stabbed to death by his own comrades in the season five finale.
To celebrate his character's rebirth, take a look at how Harington came to land the role of a lifetime — and what he really thinks of Jon Snow.
On "Game of Thrones," Kit Harington plays the bastard son of a lord. It turns out, the London-born actor is blue-blooded in real life.
He's a direct descendant of King Charles II, and his grandfather was a baronet. Still, Harington insists he didn't grow up "posh."
Before graduating from London's Central School of Speech and Drama, he scored the lead in the original stage run of "War Horse."
