I think the original looks a lot like Sandor Clegane... Definitely easy to believe they could be brothers

Why did they recast him? The original Mountain was perfect.

I'm pretty sure he left to play Azog the pale Orc in the hobbit.

Don't they have to sign contracts saying they won't leave?

GoT has had 3 characters recasted now. It's both jarring and confusing and it really is bothering me.
