The series “Game of Thrones”, filmed by the eponymous series “Song of Ice and Fire” by George Martin, has become one of the most successful projects on HBO. Each character of the saga found its fans and opponents. And if for book heroes only tests change from volume to volume, then for serial heroes - weight, hairstyles and even actors playing them.
This happened with the favorite of the Born-born Princess. The mercenary, who appeared in several episodes of the third season, changed dramatically to the fourth.
Mercenary Role in Game of Thrones
The origin of Daario Naharis in Game of Thrones remains unchanged. The future assassin was born in Tirosh. Having reached military age, he joined the Raven-Petrel squad. But later, having destroyed two leaders, he took the place of captain.
The first time Daario Naharis appears in The Storm of Swords. He, together with other squads of mercenaries, concludes a contract against Daenerys. However, upon seeing the heiress of the Targaryen clan, he decides to betray the employers. Naharis kills the dissent and goes to the side of the Dragon Mother.
Later, when Mierin was taken, Naharis becomes not only Denis's lover, but also her assistant. He finds a way out of several situations: he makes an alliance with the masters of the city and deals with the sons of Harpy.
But after Daenerys disappeared, he was captured by the Yunkays. The further fate of the book hero is still unknown.
Appearance of the book version
Daario Naharis book version is somewhat different from the mercenary that appeared on the screens. According to the plan of George Martin, Naharis is a bright personality. He is confident, cynical, waddling, and when he stops, he spreads his legs wide.
Daario Naharis also has these character traits in Game of Thrones, but his appearance has undergone significant changes. In the saga, he has blue hair and the same beard. He plaits it in the shape of a trident, but he prefers to repaint his mustache in golden color.
The blue-eyed mercenary prefers defiant clothes and pre-Thracian weapons: arakh. But his favorite weapon is stilettos. Daario Naharis loves to stroke their hands, which are made in the form of women, deprived of any clothes.
Ed Skrein: first appearance and departure in the big movie
The one who played Daario Naharis in Game of Thrones first appears in the seventh episode of the third season. The episode "Younger Sons" was shown on March 19, 2013.
In 2013, Ed Skrein first appeared in the role of Naharis. Appearing on several episodes in the role of Daario Naharis, the actor later decided to change the course of his career.
Ed Skrein was born on March 29, 1983. Pomino Jewish and Austrian, also has English roots. He spent his childhood in Britain: Camden, Haringi, Islington. He later became a bachelor of the Central College of Art.
The career of the British actor began in 2012 with the movie "The Flying Squad of Scotland Yard." And a year later he gained popularity due to his role in the Game of Thrones. However, the actor decided not to linger in one role and exchanged a serial career for a big movie. Shortly after the release of the last episode of the third season, it became known that Ed Skrein would be the star of the next part of The Carrier. After this role, he also starred in the role of the villain in the movie Deadpool.
It is worth noting that there were almost no changes in the biography of Daario Naharis. The actor who played the mercenary immediately liked the audience, although it was different in appearance.
Michelle Haysman: An Unexpected Recast
After Skrain’s unexpected departure, the creators of Game of Thrones couldn’t just bring the character out: he was assigned an important role in the storyline of subsequent seasons. After some time, the producers announced that a new casting for the role of Daario Naharis will take place.
After several trials for the role, Michelle Haysman was approved. The Dutch actor was born on July 18, 1981. Before appearing in the series, he managed to prove himself as a talented vocalist, actor and television presenter. First appeared on television in 1998 in the series "Good times, bad times."
The creators and producers of Game of Thrones decided not to repeat the mistakes of the past and immediately offered Heisman a two-year contract. However, the rekast was not beaten, and the audience at first were slightly confused by the abrupt change of actors.
Unexpected rekasta is a common thing in the Game of Thrones. Subjected to replacement were not only secondary characters, such as Berik Donadrion, Kusaki and Rorge, but also the “royal persons” Mircell and Tommen Baratheon.
