Noah Wyle, Kit Harington, Charlie Hunnam and Drama Actor Roundtable

Noah Wyle, Kit Harington, Charlie Hunnam and Drama Actor Roundtable

Not too long ago, Noah Wyle was out to dinner when an elderly couple approached. “We love the show,” the exchange began. Then came the request: “I just had knee surgery,” said the woman. “Would you mind taking a look?” According to the Pitt star, she rolled up her pant leg right there, and Wyle assessed the incision. After all, he’s played a doctor for well over a decade, first on ER and, now, on the Emmy-winning HBO Max drama. That Wyle has no actual medical credentials didn’t seem to matter. Turns out, being conflated with the characters one plays is not uncommon, at least for the TV stars gathered at THR‘s Drama Actors Emmy Roundtable. That group, which also included Charlie Hunnam (Monster), Richard Gadd (Half Man), Paul Anthony Kelly (Love Story), Kit Harington (Industry) and Tom Hiddleston (The Night Manager), discussed this and much more on a late April morning at The Georgian Hotel. What’s the craziest thing you’ve all done to land or prep for a gig? Charlie, did I hear you …

Connor Storrie, Gorillaz, Kit Harington, Jane Fonda Films at Raindance

Connor Storrie, Kit Harington, Jane Fonda, Robert Englund, music icon Eddie Cochran and other big names will feature in the lineup of the 34th edition of the Raindance Film Festival in London – whether as stars, behind-the-scenes talent or subjects of movies. But organizers unveiled the 2026 program on Monday with commentary on the state of the world. “In an increasingly divisive and polarized world, the power of storytelling has never been more crucial,” they said. “Raindance is privileged to be a platform for sharing stories from emerging filmmakers: the new voices in cinema who won’t wait for big-time producers or major studios to greenlight their projects, because some films can’t wait.” And they added: “That urgency might be to share important truths about headline-making topics ranging from Ukraine to AI, fracking to deforestation, refugees to bride slavery.” Of course, the lineup will also put a spotlight on celebrities past and present and escapist fare, whether of the sci-fi, horror or other varieties. Running June 17-26, Rainance is overall screening 85 narrative and documentary features, including …

‘Industry’’s Kit Harington Would Play Henry Muck Again

‘Industry’’s Kit Harington Would Play Henry Muck Again

This story contains major spoilers for the season four finale of HBO’s Industry, “Both, And.” It’s the end of the road for Sir Henry Muck. In season four of HBO’s Industry, Yasmin’s husband has embarked on an Icarus-like flight of redemption, joining the splashy fintech banking company Tender as its new CEO, only to discover that Tender’s founder, Whitney Halberstram (Max Minghella), has made him the face of a company that barely exists. Tender’s earnings are inflated, based on bogus acquisitions; the thing, as Henry and other characters learn over the course of the season, is nothing. In “Both, And,” Industry‘s season four finale, Henry comes crashing down to Earth. Yasmin (Marisa Abela) tells him they’re done; Whitney reveals to him that there’s Russian state interest in Tender, which puts both of them in considerable danger. Faced with the choice of giving up his identity as a British aristocrat in order to escape with Whitney, Henry chooses to stay and face the music, becoming the fall guy for Tender’s sins. However, in typical Industry fashion, …

Kit Harington Blasts Game Of Thrones Final Season Fan Petition

Kit Harington has admitted that there was one part of the fan backlash over the Game Of Thrones series finale that really irked him. The Industry star played Jon Snow in all eight seasons of Game Of Thrones, which came to an end in 2019 with a final season which it’s no secret that many viewers were unhappy about, with more than a million even signing a petition calling for the last run of episodes to be remade “with competent writers”. Speaking to The New York Times, the Industry actor said that this petition “genuinely angered him” at the time. “Like, how dare you?” the British actor fumed. “Sorry, that’s just how I feel. “I think it was a level of idiocy that can only come about through social media.” Kit Harington at an Industry premiere in 2024 Back in 2024, Kit shared his take on the divisive finale, telling British GQ: “I think if there was any fault with the end of Thrones, is that we were all so fucking tired, we couldn’t have …
