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.

    I— I watched only for Daario. I’m out now. I can’t even bare watching it all. 🤣
    Screw the show.

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. 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?
