Kit Harington shifts from Jon Snow to 'Modern Love'

In “Game of Thrones,” Kit Harington famously played the brooding Jon Snow through eight seasons, stalking icy landscapes and dark castles, trying to figure out how to save humanity.
Now Harington has hung up his bulky black fur coat for a lighter role in the new season of “Modern Love,” based on The New York Times column about real-life love stories.
Each episode tells a different story with different actors.
In it, Harington plays a tech worker and a hopeful romantic dazzled by a woman he meets on a train.

“It was a breath of fresh air,” Harington said recently from New York.
“You don’t get to spend eight years being the most serious, grumpy human being on the planet without wanting to go and do something a bit lighter afterwards.”

Harington, who fell in love with and married his “Game of Thrones” co-star Rose Leslie, said that part of the reason he was attracted to “Modern Love” is that “our love lives and our love histories are made up of anecdotes" like those in the series.
