Jon Snow may know nothing, but to us, he’s everything. Thirty-two-year-old English actor Kit Harington has portrayed the incredibly sexy Lord Commander of the Watch on Game of Thrones for almost a decade now, and it’s difficult to imagine him doing anything other than guarding the Wall and battling White Walkers (especially since Harington married his onscreen lover, Rose Leslie, who played wildling Ygritte).

As heartbroken as we are about losing the Lord Commander, Harington himself is ready to ditch his furs and sword to take on new roles. “I’d like to step away and enjoy the obscurity, cut my hair, make myself less recognizable as the character, and go and do some other things with a completely new look and tone,” Harington told Entertainment Weekly.
