5. Kit Harington – Jon Snow (Game of Thrones)

Kit Harington's Jon Snow in Game of Thrones became the modern-day hero that people are talking about, due to his stiff and moral attitude. The journey of Jon throughout the series has been a big thread of losing, betrayal, and leadership, and Harington's work from the start of The Night's Watch through to his end captured millions worldwide. While Harington does branch out to other roles in Eternals and Modern Love, Jon Snow will always be his most famous character.
