"Game of Thrones" star Kit Harington, 29, recently shocked his fans when he got rid of his signature beard. He made it clear that there was a valid reason for this and unveiled his part in the first-person shooter video game "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare," which will be released in November.
On June 11, Saturday, Harington revealed on Instagram that he is currently working on the hugely well known first-person shooter "Call of Duty" games, in which he will play a villain. In a video clip he shared, the actor sports a motion capture hardware at a studio.

"Infinity Ward" narrative director and "Call of Duty" developer Taylor Kurosaki talked about Harington in his role in the video game. He boasted how talented the "Game of Thrones" actor is with the way he brought the character to life.
"Kit is an amazing talent, and the consummate pro," Daily Mail quoted Kurosaki as saying. "Our story is about an epic showdown of opposing forces, and Kit immersed himself into the role and truly became the embodiment of the enemy, the Settlement Defense Front. We can't wait for fans to see Kit play an entirely different kind of character."
In addition to the powerful cast, "Sherlock Holmes" director Guy Ritchie will be directing all of Harington's scenes. It was not the first time for Ritchie to work with the game publisher Activision as he previously collaborated with them on a live-action thriller trailer "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2."
In other news, Harington revealed that he is heartbroken as the "Games of Thrones" is coming to an end. There will be only two seasons left for the show and seven short episodes instead of 10.
"We're a big family now, we're very very close," Harington told Express. "I'll be very sad when it ends, it's been a huge part of my twenties and it's going to be leaving a huge gaping hole when it finishes."
Harington also revealed that fans could wait for a big finale for the last episodes. He added that he does not know what would happen in the ending of the show although fans may consider that he was good at lying anyway.
