When Game of Thrones returns for Season 4, Jorah Mormont will have a whole new guy to be jealous of... Well, a whole new actor at least. THR reveals that Daario Naharis has been recast, with Michiel Huisman taking over the role.

Ed Skrein played Daario in Season 3, introduced as a warrior who turned the tables on his would-be partners and joined up with Daenerys - even while the two began giving each other some rather notable "How YOU doin'?" glances.

Michiel Huisman (Left, in Treme) will take over the role of Daario, first played by Ed Skrein.

This is not the first time Game of Thrones has recast a role, though it may be the most notable. The role of Gregor Clegane, AKA The Mountain, was played by Conan Stevens in Season 1, before Ian Whyte took over in Season 2. Beric Dondarrion was played by David Michael Scott Season 1 and then Richard Dormer in Season 3. Daario though had the biggest introduction and most screen time (and dialogue) of any of the roles that have been recast previously.

This will be a return to HBO for Dutch actor Huisman, who previously had a role on Treme, before his recurring role on Nashville this past season.

It looks like there will be one other bit of recasting in Season 4 though, withWinterisComing reporting recently that Dean-Charles Chapman, who previously played Martyn Lannister on the show, will now be playing Joffrey's little brother, Tommen, taking over for Callum Wharry.

I hate it when they do this, I actually thought he was a decent character. Lucky he was only on about 3 episodes

I thought he was fine, but this guy is pretty good in Treme

Also, some of the other casting news is borderline spoiler.... If you think too much

Why? The actor did a good job.

Yeah they didnt really give a reason....Iv heard hes been struggling with the role and isnt a very good actor.

I wish they wouldn't do this. There are so many characters, it hard enough to figure out who everyone is. When they are switching bodies - just makes it more confusing.

I do think the actor was beyond his element, but I was willing to give him time to grow into it.

Still, I think the show is awesome and look forward to next season.

Yeah it takes away from the series aswell, plus they dont even look similar.

The Mountains was a different actor in two of the seasons? Clearly I was not paying enough attention.

I have a strong feeling they will plop the same wig on him and he will seem much more familer.

But sometimes, just kill 'em off and give us a new one.  It's not like they *never* kill of a character.

You sure about that?  Did you read about the Red Wedding?
