AceShowbiz - What if Kit Harington plays other "Game of Thrones" characters instead of Jon Snow the King of the North? It may be hard to imagine, but thanks to Jimmy Kimmel, fans got to watch Kit's never-before-seen footage of his audition for other roles on the HBO series.
"The producers of 'Game of Thrones', Dan Weiss and David Benioff, gave us his audition tape, exclusive," Jimmy opened his monologue in Monday, July 10 episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Kit was later featured donning a blonde wig and holding a wine goblet, trying to portray Cersei Lannister. "In the 'Game of Thrones', you win or you die. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to have sex with my brother," said Kit, doing his best Lena Headey impersonation.
Kit didn't stop with Cersei as he showed his Arya Stark impression in the next take. Walking on his knees, Kit's Arya bragged about his short sword. He also gave a try on Jon's love interest Ygritte, who is portrayed by Kit's off-screen girlfriend Rose Leslie. Donning a red wig, he perfectly delivered Ygritte's famous line, "You know nothing, Jon Snow."
The "Pompeii" actor later came out with a white wig and beard to play Hodor. "Hodor! Hodor! Hodor!" he exclaimed while doing Hodor's famous and heartbreaking scene in season 6 episode "The Door". Daenerys Targaryen was also one of the characters he auditioned for. "Well, hello Khal Drogo," said Kit's Dany seductively. "Would you like to see my dragons?" he added, before revealing a pair of fake boobs underneath his white dress.
After displaying a low-budget impression of White Walker, Kit appeared in a Harry Potter costume. "I've been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry," he said. A staffer stopped him midway and told him an obvious fact that Harry Potter was not on "Game of Thrones". "But what if he was?" Kit responded with a mischievous smile, before taking off his robes to show off the fake boobs once again.
"Game of Thrones" returns for season 7 on July 16 on HBO.
