HBO's Game of Thrones Seeing Some Major Recasts For Season 4
Sat, September 7, 2013 
Hope you didn't grow too attached to some characters last season....Red Wedding aside, I mean.
The roles of Daario Naharis, Gregor Glegane, and Tommen Baratheon are being recast as HBO's fantasy epic, "Game of Thrones", based on the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series by George R.R. Martin, has begun shooting it's fourth season expected to air in 2014.
Daario Naharis, the charming sell-sword who has begun to steal Daenery's Targaryan's heart in the far-away lands of Essos as Season 3 ended, has been recast from Ed Skrein to Michiel Huisman, star of NBC's "Nashville" and the recent Brad Pitt zombie-spectacle World War Z. The news comes as quite a shock and no reason has been given by the stars or HBO.
Next on the recast is role, Gregor Clegane "The Mountain That Rides", has been recast every season he's appeared in, excluding Season 3, where the character was absent. Previously played by Conan Stevens (The Hobbit), and Ian Whyte (Prometheus), The Mountain will now be portrayed by Iceland's Strongest Man, Hafþór "Thor" Björnsson, making his acting debut.
Finally, Tommen Baratheon, bastard son of Jaime and Cersei Lannister, who was also absent from Season 3, will be aged up a bit from Callum Wharry to Dean-Charles Chapman from the Starz series, "The White Queen".
Thanks to Yahoo News UK and The Facebook Fanpage of Petyr Baelish for gathering the photos of The Mountain.

That's Gregor Clegane, not Sandor.
Was Callum Wharry too young looking, or too inexperienced to play Tommen in his new role as King? I would have been upset if I were him!
