Daario, who was formerly played by Ed Skrein, has been replaced by actor Michael Huisman. Huisman, who has previously dabbled in HBO programming like Treme, also starred as Liam in Nashville.
Apparently, Skrein left Game of Thrones to star in a Transporter movie as a younger Jason Statham, which quite frankly, doesnt have the critical adulation that Thrones does, but hey action movies are action movies, and we arent privy to any information about contractual obligations he might have had prior to embarking on his brief journey in Westeros.
