6. Daario Naharis – Game of Thrones
Most of the main characters on HBO’s hit series Game of Thrones have become so recognizable and beloved that swapping them out would result in an audience revolt. I mean, can you imagine anyone butEmilia Clarke playing the badass Daenerys Targaryen? However, there was one character (Daario Naharis) who the writers thought would perhaps be less recognizable. Actor Ed Skrein played Naharis when he was just one of many minor characters on the show, but as Naharis’ role became larger, the producers swapped Skrein for Michael Huisman. I mean, Skrein had longer hair and no scruff, so perhaps they just wanted audiences to think that he looked like a totally new man with a different style of grooming?
