Actor Kit Harington found it emotional to finish TV series "Game of Thrones" but he would never go back and do more episodes.

And while it was hard to end that chapter of his life, Harington is not sad about moving on with his career and has vowed to never return to the show. "It was emotional to leave the job definitely," Harington told bbc.com. He added: "But I wouldn't say I was sad: if like me you go all the way back to the pilot of Game of Thrones that's almost 10 years of your life - that's really unusual in an actor's career. It was a huge emotional upheaval leaving that family. But would I want to go back and do more? Not on your life."
