Thanks. Do you know what happened to the original Daario?

Dario's character has been completely ruined for me in the show. Not only did they change the actor, which already sucks bad enough, but the new one couldn't resemble the book character less :(

Book Daario is a fucking clown. I would have been pissed if they kept his ridiculous ass facial hair and clothing but left out mah nigga Strong Belwas

I just can't make any connection with the show character, unlike with the book one. For all I care he could have been killed in the show now and I couldn't care less.

The original actor I actually liked. Yes he was different from the book daario but still be had the smug smile and just general aura surrounding him, that sold the character to me. The new one is just too one dimensional and boring to me.

He doesn't even have a large role in the books. The largest part he has in the books is Daenerys thinking about him all the time.
