Kit Harington’s emotional goodbye to Jon Snow
Ghost 1.07 | 8.06
Sometimes there is no happy choice, Sam, only one less grievous than the others.
Kit Harington as John F. Donovan in The Death and Life of John F. Donovan (2019) dir. Xavier Dolan
Jon Snow was a difficult role to cast. We knew from the outset that whichever actor played him would end up carrying a tremendous amount of the story on his shoulders – and we knew it would be heavier as the seasons went on. We needed a young actor who could effectively convey the rich inner life of an emotionally reserved character, which is one of the most difficult things an actor can do. Jon needed intelligence, gravitas, intensity, charisma, and the ability to lighten up effectively without breaking character. Kit had all these things.
