12 Actors Who Were Replaced By Others Like It Was No Big Deal
A movie isn’t a product of one person. So, if some actors think that their television shows would be nothing without them, they should think again. One of the most important and contentious elements of any movie is the casting process. Oftentimes, the decision to go with a certain actor is torturous for everyone involved, but a decision is made.
Someone landing a role doesn’t mean they keep one in Hollywood. There are countless examples of actors who missed out on a role. Behind these cases are painful stories of actors who were replaced even during the actual making of the movie. While some cause waves of indignation, some seem to be no big deal.
Here are 12 actors whose TV roles were suddenly recast.

Through season 2, Daenerys Targaryen was portrayed by the English actor Ed Skrein, but “politics” led to a recasting that put the Dutch actor Michiel Huisman in the role for the remainder of the series. Ed Skrein told HuffPost, “It was a character that I would've loved to have continued to portray, and he's a wonderful character, but you know Michiel Huisman's done a great job taking over the mantle, and that's the way it goes”.#12 Carol Willick, Friends
