Age: Thirtysomething. Westeros's birth records are terrible.  Who the hell is he? And why isn't he spelling his name properly? He is a Tyroshi sellsword and was former lieutenant to Mero and Prendahl na Ghezn of the Second Sons mercenary army, before he killed them and swore to fight for Daenerys Stormborn of the House of Targaryen.  He – what? He's a character in HBO's fantastically popular drama Game of Thrones, the adaptation of George RR Martin's epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire.  Oh, I geddit. So, his appearance varies – he's some kind of shapeshifter, is he? Why do you say that?  Because they always have those type of things in this type of thing. You are wrong in both these assumptions, but now is not the time to address your ignorance of the vital distinction between the forms of genre fiction you have just so brutally smashed together. Daario's variability refers to HBO's recasting of the character.  From who to who, or possibly whom? From Ed Skrein to Michiel Huisman.  Who the hell are they? Huisman played street musician Sonny in David Simon's Treme and bad-boy rock star Liam McGuinniss in Nashville. And Ed Skrein played … well, Daario Naharis.  Won't it confuse the fans? If you can keep up with seven warring factions' worth of intrigues, conspiracies, assassinations, blackmail plots, power plays, incestuous activities, treacheries, schemes, collusions and affairs, an actorly switcheroo shouldn't cause much of a problem.  Won't it upset them? So far, not really. The change was announced last year and the first stills of the new boy have just been released, so the producers have eased them in gently. Plus the fans have been here before.  How so? Ser Gregor "the Mountain" Clegane has already been recast – and is being recast yet again for season four.  Was he killed at the Red We- Shush! Shhhhh! No spoilers! Or you'll feel the point of my arakh! Now sit quietly and await season four, coming soon to a bloodied, full-frontal nuditied screen near you.  Do say: "That's not how you spell 'Darius'."  Don't say: "That's not how you spell anything."
Ed Skrein, who played the Tyroshi warrior in Game of Thrones, is being replaced in season four by Treme and Nashville star Michiel Huisman
