The Real Reason These Game Of Thrones Roles Were Recast
Some of the most familiar faces in Westeros have changed a lot during the course of Game of Thrones’ run on HBO. Over the course of the series, several of the show’s key actors have ended up being replaced – leading fans to wonder just what really happened.
Throughout the entire series, Emilia Clarke has shined as Daenerys Targaryen. From a mild young bride to the fierce and ruthless warrior she is today, Daenerys has been through one of the show’s most exciting arcs, and without Clarke’s portrayal, far fewer viewers would have fallen in love with the character the way that they have. Hailed as a feminist icon, fans have been gripped by Daenerys’ finest moments, and Clarke herself has achieved international recognition for the role – as well as nominations for several awards.
With that in mind, it might seem difficult to believe that anyone else could ever have played Daenerys, but in the initially troubled pilot for Game of Thrones, Daenerys was originally played by Tamzin Merchant – best known for her role as Henry VIII’s fifth wife Catherine Howard on The Tudors. Creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss have been open about their disdain for the original pilot, but neither the two showrunners nor casting director Nina Gould have fully discussed the reason for Merchant’s exit. Today, fans are left to wonder just how different the series might have been with a different Daenerys riding those dragons.

Tamzin Merchant would never have made a good Daenerys.
A lisp would have ruined that character.
I meant rich men!
Is anyone else put off by the Jimmy Dean sausage commercials, in which the voice of the long-dead Jimmy Dean himself hawks packages of ground up meat? It give me the creeps!
I miss the first Daario! He was insane, just needed for the character. The second one was cool actually, but not stunning like the first one.
cuz she was hard to look at….that simple…something is a bit off on that face…
U forgot to mention the biggest recast in the show. Lil sweet robin was replaced with hot robin in the finale
Thank you!
feminst icon??? lmao
This video could have been finished in 5 min…..
It's pronounced "Tew-dors" not "Toodors".
This unbearable accent
Fantastic/
Dickon got cut short 😂
Original Night King was much more creepy.
I— I watched only for Daario. I’m out now. I can’t even bare watching it all. 🤣
Screw the show.
*BOOKS FOR LIFE! The REAL story!*
The first Night King actor's name is Richard Brake, not Richard Blake as said in this video.
Ed skein indicated political reasons for why he was recast so potentially this means that someone making the show or another actor didn’t like him? If it were another actor that actor would have been the mother of dragons since that is who he would have acted with the most. So maybe the mother of dragons had a little flirtation w Ed but it didn’t work out. Just speculating.
Dislike for giving a shoutout to feminism
Did they show the Clegane dad and say he was the mountain? Or am I wrong?
wtf is this 10 minutes long video , 7-8 times got interrupted with dumb advertisements
Turning a part down was a bad decision as most of the big stars of the show spent the last two series on a million an episode…
I would've died for Shireen.
Selis???? It's Selyse (Sa-lees)
Daario naharis… Cuz she dint want to fk the previous one
Dario naharus was probably the least interesting character in game of thrones and I think Ed skrein knew that which is probably why he left
Merchant is ugly asf tho so she couldn't play Stormborn
It surprises me that, to this day, people don't realise that Daenerys was evil all along (or at least from book 2). The moment her Dragons were born she began to see herself the way a narcissist does (mother of Dragons etc), she opposed anyone who disagreed with her vision with brutal and excessive lethal force. And she was ready to tear apart the world without concern for the damage done
Clarke was one of the worst actors in the series. She was wooden and one dimensional.
She has little in the way of awards to back up my statement.
So Max von Sydow is best known for the Exorcist and Flash Gordon and not The Seventh Seal. Goodnight, cruel world.
I see a man kill two guys and hold them above his head while daenerys is naked in the bathtub, and then I never see him again.
"feminist icon" is a mass murderer xD xD xD xD xD xD xD
This shows how a 3 minute video can be dragged out to 10.
And then I wonder why it was so hard to keep track of every character!!!!!! 😩😆🤔
i literally had to go back to the end of a last episode because of Daario
Scrine was wayyyyy more believable as daario naharis
Like, at least they could've given the new Daario a wig
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
You didnt even say the reason for half the list. You only told us what we already know. Who replaced who!!!
I didn't even realize Beric Dondarrion from season 1 was even supposed to be the same guy as him in later seasons. lol
squeaky voice
Daario old actor got me confused with jaqen hgar
Not one reason was money? That seems improbable. At least one actor was likely dropped because of their demands for more money.
Let us tell you the REAL REASONS behind these changes. Ready? Here we go:
– Daenerys was played by Clarke,
– The Mountain was played by 3 actors,
– The Three-eyed Raven was played by Sydow,
– The Night King was changed for the fighting scenes (all the 0 of them).
Satisfied?
The original Daario was hot af, and passed the vibe check
Wait the night king actor changed because he has more mobility for fighting scenes but what fighting scene actually ?‽
First Dario Nahiris is simply look like betrayer.
kinda sad for francis naharis
Danny has nothing to do with feminisam , she was amazing and strong. Feminists are ugly and weak and envy
