"Jon Snow", played by Kit Harington, is the son of "Lyanna Stark" and "Rhaegar Targaryen". Since his early years, he was shown as the bastard son of "Eddard Stark", "Lyanna´s" brother. His actual family is kept secret from us throughout the show. To distance himself from his given social status, he joins the "Night´s Watch". Kit Harington himself is relatively new to acting, with his first documented role being in Game Of Thrones in 2011. He has since then starred in a few different movies including How To Train Your Dragon 2.
