27 Feb
Summary
- Harington likens Game of Thrones and Industry via flawed characters.
- Both HBO shows explore morally complex and disturbing personalities.
- Industry's Henry Muck is a privileged but unaware entrepreneur.
Actor Kit Harington has drawn a parallel between his iconic role in 'Game of Thrones' and his current series, 'Industry,' highlighting their shared focus on deeply flawed characters. He observed that both HBO dramas delve into morally complex and often disturbing personalities, a common thread he finds compelling.
Harington, globally recognized as Jon Snow, now embodies Henry Muck in 'Industry.' This character navigates London's competitive corporate world, embodying immense privilege while remaining largely unaware of its impact. Harington finds Muck a fascinating, albeit difficult, figure to explore.
The series 'Industry,' created by Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, centers on ambitious graduates competing for positions in a high-stakes investment bank. It has garnered praise for its realistic portrayal of ambition, money, and ego within the financial sector. Max Minghella also stars, portraying a morally ambiguous tech founder, Whitney Halberstram.
