He starred as Albert Narracott in the original West End production of War Horse. Harington also played the lead role of Milo in the 2014 film Pompeii and Eret in How to Train Your Dragon 2.

Harington was born in London. He is the son of David Richard Harington and Deborah Jane (née Catesby), who was a playwright and taught creative writing for Birmingham University. He was named after Christopher Marlowe. He lived in London until he was eleven, then moved to Worcester, remaining there until he was eighteen, when he moved back to London.
