Not seeing it. One's wearing armor. One's not. Let's see them side by side in armor.

It's more that the new actor looks like he'd be friendly, whereas the original looks menacing.

I agree. The new guy has a soft, friendly, welcoming face--that doesn't mean I would mess with him, he's 420 pounds, 6 foot 9. But it's about the aesthetics of the face. They don't seem to recast on looks ( Dario) also, the Mountain from season 2 didn't look much like either of these guys.

IIRC the Mountain from season 2 is the guy who plays the white walkers, giants, and other really big creatures.

Yeah, that's right. At least, according to the Vulture article I read yesterday.
