Taking part in a hero is difficult, Harington admits.
“[Playing] a man who’s doing all the appropriate issues and is pushed by being good, it’s tougher to try this. And I feel individuals who do it efficiently, who play classically heroic roles, are very proficient actors. However in the mean time, I simply discover it extra attention-grabbing searching for the f—ed-up folks.”
Blood for Mud opens in theaters on April 19.
