‘Game of Thrones’ Star Kit Harington’s Casting in West End ‘Slave Play’ Won’t Be the ‘Jon Snow Experience,’ Says Writer Jeremy O. Harris

Naman Ramachandran “Slave Play” writer Jeremy O. Harris feels confident that casting “Game of Thrones” star Kit Harington in the production’s West End run won’t be a “distraction.” In a new interview with The Guardian, Harris said Harington was recommended to him by “Game of Thrones” star Gwendoline Christie and he would not have agreed to his casting if Harington had wanted to “make it the Jon Snow experience.” “Kit was saying ‘I don’t want this to be Kit Harington in ‘Slave Play,” this is an ensemble play and I’m not even the lead,’” Harris said.

Jenna Ortega had a “weird” ‘Wednesday’ fan moment on a flight
Jenna Ortega has revealed that she had a “weird” fan moment from a Wednesday fan during a flight.Speaking as part of a roundtable event with The Hollywood Reporter, Ortega recalled how she’s been surprised by audiences for the hit Netflix show – with fans spanning a much greater age range than she thought. In the show, Ortega plays the titular character of Wednesday Adams.She said: “Wednesday has a much wider audience than I anticipated, at least age wise, so it’s older people and younger people,” she said of the show’s fans.Ortega went on to describe how she had a “weird” moment on a plane with a flight attendant who was also a fan.She explained: “But I’ve had a couple of weird plane stories, too, where I’ve woken up to notes or things like that.“I got off one yesterday, and at the end, the flight attendant took her hair down out of the bun and it was in two braids and she took her bangs down and she said, ‘You made me do this,'” she recalled, in reference to her character’s hairstyle in the show.Meanwhile, the second season of Wednesday is set to explore more of the character’s Latino heritage.Last month marked six months since the Addams Family spin-off first arrived on Netflix, starring Ortega alongside a cast including Catherine Zeta-Jones, Gwendoline Christie and Christina Ricci.Now, with the popular series being confirmed for a second season, co-creator Miles Millar has discussed the possible plot choices for the next instalment of the show with IndieWire, and shared that the writers are looking for a way to make the character’s heritage more prominent in the story.“It’s so rare to find an iconic character of this stature,” said Millar of Ortega, who has Mexican and Puerto Rican ancestry.
