Kit Harington Joins Cast of HBO's "Industry" as Sir Henry Muck

Kit Harington, renowned for his portrayal of Jon Snow in HBO's "Game of Thrones," is set to join the cast of the finance drama "Industry" in its upcoming season. Harington will take on the role of Sir Henry Muck, the founder and CEO of a green tech company preparing to go public. The actor, who became a fan of the show during the pandemic, expressed his admiration for its writing and the vibrant energy of its young ensemble cast. Despite his extensive experience in the industry, Harington revealed feelings of nervousness about joining "Industry," likening his excitement to that of guest stars on "Game of Thrones." He described his character, Sir Henry Muck, as a "posh idiot"—intelligent and charming yet lacking self-awareness due to his privileged upbringing. Harington noted that Muck's background provides him with a safety net, allowing him to act freely, which can lead to questionable decisions. Harington drew inspiration for Sir Henry Muck from real-life figures, although he chose not to disclose their identities. He characterized Muck as a "tech bro" influenced by the British class system, a combination he found intriguing and challenging to portray. Reflecting on his iconic role as Jon Snow, Harington shared that it took time to process the character's journey. He now holds Jon Snow in high regard, expressing fondness and love for the character after years of reflection.
