Game of Thrones: For all of his good, Jon Snow's a violent man, says Kit Harington

Actor Kit Harington says his "Game of Thrones" character Jon Snow is somewhat like a psychopath in a strange manner.

The 30-year-old actor recalls talking to his director Miguel Sapochnik that the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch secretly thrives when he is on a war front, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"I actually think secretly deep down, he's a bit of a psychopath, weirdly. He looks for violence. In a strange way, and I said this to (Sapochnik) during 'Battle of the Bastards,' I think that in a weird way this could be Jon's natural home, on this battlefield, where he comes to life. ," says Harington.

The actor adds Jon's character does not have much to do with happiness.

"I think happiness is a very strange term to associate with Jon. He has a very odd sense of what 'happy' is. It might not be everybody else's 'happy.' I don't know what happiness is for Jon."
