<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“</span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/game-of-thrones"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Game of Thrones</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">” actor </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kit Harington</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is best known for playing the series protagonist in HBO&#8217;s Emmy Award-winning fantasy drama series, but he says he’s excited to take on villain roles in the future. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 37-year-old won over hearts portraying Jon Snow on “GOT.” He took on a very different role for the neo-Western crime thriller “Blood for Dust,” which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2023 and will be released in theaters on April 19.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> The movie features Harington playing a sociopathic, cocaine-selling arms dealer.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;He&#8217;s sort of a devil-on-the-shoulder character, the antagonist who&#8217;s with you all the way through,&#8221; the British actor told </span><a href="https://ew.com/kit-harington-over-being-hero-game-of-thrones-blood-for-dust-8634633"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Entertainment Weekly</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of the role. &#8220;He&#8217;s like a good-time guy in a bad world. He doesn&#8217;t want to have to face reality.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I rarely get the opportunity to play the Rickys of this world, the antagonistic dirtbag types, and I was excited to be presented with that opposite an actor like Scoot,&#8221; Harington continued. &#8220;So that was the kind of pull, and then Rod, the director, had such a clear idea of what he wanted to do and had it so well planned that I just felt very much in safe hands. It felt well put together. And then it&#8217;s all about growing a big old mustache and adopting a seriously American accent.&#8221;</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The celeb told the outlet he’d been seeking a different type of role since “GOT” concluded in 2019.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;That is seemingly what I&#8217;ve been hunting a bit,&#8221; Harington said. &#8220;If I look at the roles I&#8217;ve taken since playing an out-and-out hero in ‘Game of Thrones,’ I have to admit there seems to be some sort of pushback about playing a hero. I&#8217;m not so interested in heroic roles, and if I am, they have to be pretty anti-hero-ish.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;My heart goes out to people playing heroes,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;They&#8217;re f***ing hard to play and to make interesting. It is more fascinating as an actor, I think, to empathize with someone deeply faulted and wrong, to try and find your way into why they are doing these things. [Playing] a guy who is doing all the right things and is driven by being good, it&#8217;s harder to do that. And I think people who do it successfully, who play classically heroic roles, are very talented actors. But at the moment, I just find it more interesting looking for the f***ed-up people.&#8221;</span></p>
