Game of Thrones is one of the most popular shows on television. It’s also the most recent example of a role being recast. The Mountain is known by fans of the series as Hafthor Bjornsson. Many of those same fans probably don’t remember Bjornsson didn’t originate the role.

In the first season of Game of Thrones, Conan Steven played the physically imposing character. Ian Whyte took the mantle in the second season but something just wasn’t right. Bjornsson took over starting season three and has turned The Mountain into one of the series most memorable characters.
