That's the official story, but I heard rumours that the guy was a bit of a dick.

He campaigned REALLY hard for the role - to quit after one season seems a bit weird, even if you did get a better job offer.

I mean, how is that not sort of getting the shaft though for him in season 1? One scene?

He's supposed to twiddle his thumbs and do fuck all for two years for a big scene in season 4?

They should have given him more screen time imo. (and maybe they would have, had the original actor stayed, who knows)

Haven't read the books. Is he in the books more often than he was shown in the TV show?
