[@Iam74YL0R]

Tommen wasn't recast because the actor aged out. It is actually more of the opposite. The original Tommen was probably 9-11 years old in the first season, making him 13-16 years old during the filming of season 4. However season 4 and 5 heavily featured Tommen and put him in scenes that are not suitable for an actor that young (implied sex with Natalie Dormer and kiss in season 5 ) and needed to be on set for sometime. (Child actors have a lot of legal requirements on how long they can work in a day which makes filming difficult.) GoT recast him with an older actor Dean-Charles Chapman who was 17 at the time of filming season 4 ( and 18 for the scene after their marriage). This is was because of the two reasons mentioned but also because as Tommen had more dialogue they wanted an actor who could handle that need.

Those guys were big, but not big enough.

[@TXetc]

Conan Stevens is enormous irl, around 7 foot tall and jacked. The 2nd actor was tall but just lanky. Hafthor nailed it though which is why they still call him “The Mountain”.

I LITERALLY though Daario Naharis was a faceless man in Daeneryus's company who changed his face between episodes.

I just read that apparently Ed Skrein (first Daario) has been forced to leave the show due to the producers, he denied that he left for another movie and he said it was because of "political reasons" so I'm very curious to know which ones.

[@pinoyclasico8932]

The original mountain was neighbor in the Philippines. He was a pretty cool dude but later turned to drugs, when I asked him for a picture he turned me down politely and said "Facebook and twitter are evil man" I last saw him walking back and forth contemplating on something, as if a mad man really. Really really really sad to see.

[@annaverano5843]

I met Esme Bianco ( theons favorite prostitute) at a Miami comic con and since i was trying to collect the GoT actors autographs she and khal drogo were the only 2 that were in Miami and i had already gotten khals signature in Tampa along with aryia and the hound . So i paid 25.00 for Esme's autograph and my friend was snapping photos of our encounter and she demanded we stop taking the picture and that if i wanted a picture i had to pay another 25.00 . All the other GoT members that i have my pics with were very nice and down to earth , Esme thought she was so special and quite arrogant as well as being greedy needless to say I didn't care much about her after that day . I didn't even care that she got killed off the show either . lol

Ed Skrein who played him first, makes Daario Naharis SPECIAL after the re - cast under Michiel Huismann he was like a conventional mercenary a another Bronn.

[@IhasCaramel]

I can honestly say, when I first got addicted to this show I was binge watching like crazy it literally took me a season to figure out about Beric, and the mountain change. I thought season 1 mountain was still on the run, and season 2 mountain was just a "general" or someone of quite importance in that season. It's one of those "Am I losing my mind" when you start to realize they changed actors.

[@SL-mj2eq]

Yeah i had the same for Beric... Its also cos he changed from a lord to an outlaw leader offc. So it was less obvious then all of the others... Cos Berics change could have just been another person.

[@harkmay]

yeah I thnik the changes made an already complex show more difficult to follow. pretty annoying some of the changes.

[@Impaler00100]

Kevin Eldon (from Hot Fuzz) also played two separate roles: 1. As the actor portraying Ned Stark in the theater play in Braavos and 2. As a Goldcloak that confronts Tyrion, Gendry and Daavos.

Grimah facts the show has been on a slow decline after they surpassed the books bc they didn’t have that strong base to go off of. Still a good show tho

[@des7604]

daario was the only one I noticed. I kinda liked the first actor more tbh, he just looks so much more exotic and fit for a fantasy show. the second daario is definitely good looking as well, but he gives me modern guy vibes and it's weird. It's just strange to me that the casting directors didn't try harder to make them look like the same person.

[@Alexis_005]

The original Dario would have been peeeeerfect

[@ladysan_]

Max von Sydow is a legend. I've seem him in several old Swedish movies as well as in Hollywood movies. As a Swede I actually feel proud of all these Scandinavian actors making big roles on Game of Thrones. Kristofer Hivju, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Max von Sydow... Even though the three are all from different Scandinavian countries, I've seen all these three in Swedish productions, speaking Swedish before. So strange thinking back, I'm so used to hear english from them now. 😄

[@dontworryaboutit5490]

@@justaperson8261 Through the whole show Danerys never really earned anything by being a clever military leader or good at politics, she was always gifted wins by the plot, starting from 3 equivalents of an atomic bomb to terrorize enemies.

[@macker33]

The signs were there early on, the way she ended up was a natural conclusion.

[@KalikaXX]

First of all, I have only watched the show, and though I haven't been able to get into the books yet, I do know there are vast differences. I just know that Daenerys could have owned the TV series if she hadn't gone all "Mad Queen" Just like her father.

[@GamingwithLootmaster]

The first actor who played Daario Naharis looked so cocky and sure of himself it made him look like a badass, the second actor was more of a follower and less cocky, so he didn’t seem as badass at first until he killed that top warrior guy in like 3 seconds

I loved the first Daario Ne'haris ( Ed Skrein). He had swag. I didn't like the 2nd one. He made a few strides as an actor, (Transporter and Deadpool) so Ed made a good choices. That Night King gives a whole new meaning to "Walking Dead".

[@PaisleyGreene63]

The first actor’s rendition of Daario Naharis is very good but reminds me a bit too much of Jaqen H’ghar, who I love. But I’ve only just met him, and only know D2 from YT clips because hubby and I are watching GOT for the first time on DVD. We just finished season 3 so the jury’s still out. ☺️

I could be wrong, however, I believe that I read that Tamzin Merchant decided to take a role in Salem instead of Game of Thrones. I'm glad that she did! She was awesome in that show! It's a shame that it didn't last past the third season! The first two seasons were awesome! And the creators had some sweet ideas, and concepts, that they would have incorporated in to the show had it continued.

[@brittanygarrison8030]

Excuse me but Stannis was the rightful heir by every law. He didn't just believe it.

[@bryntendo]

He was, but it also seems to be a pretty tenuous position, and even during the Targeryan dynasty the line of succession was never really honoured by any of them. Robert Baratheon himself had only been king 17 years (I think) after his rebellion, and he had no claim other than just taking the throne, like Aegon Targeryan did centuries before. No one has an inherent 'right' to the throne in this world, whoever wins gets it. They're more like the Dothraki than they like to think - Kill the khal, become the khal, titles don't mean anything unless you're going to actually do something about it. Seems any random person could take it and then it'd become 'rightfully theirs' if they were good enough fighters lol.
