Kit Harington says he’s ‘not so interested’ in playing heroic roles after ‘Game of Thrones’

British star Kit Harington says it's tough to play a hero on screen today and that's why he has consciously sought to play "anti-hero-ish" roles post-Game of Thrones. Ever since he wrapped Game of Thrones, Harington said he seems to have lost interest in playing the classic hero. If I look at the roles I’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. People who successfully play classically heroic roles are "very talented actors", added Harington.
