Why was Daario Neharis recast?

I was watching the Season 4 Game of Thrones premiere and noticed Daario's actor was changed. Don't get me wrong, I like the way this new guy looks better, but for continuity's sake I wished they would've kept the old one.

Anyone know the reason behind the change?

Don't watch the show, is he a major character ?

Props money, or schedule

Maybe this is why?

@darling_luna: Not that big, but enough that you'd raise a brow at his change in appearance.

You know they're on their third Mountain already......

At least the new guy they got looks more imposing and terrifying than the previous ones.

1st guy was great, 2nd guy was terrible, 3rd guy looks perfect.

Eh, I like the new one better, the old guy was too pretty. It was unsettling.

I agree. I just don't like broken continuity.

As much as I love Mark Ruffalo as Banner, I would've preferred if Ed Norton and Joss Whedon got over their differences.
