It doens't matter how many times you swap the actor, Gregor Clegane a.k.a. The Mountain, is always going to be a reckless, rampaging, merciless warrior with a taste for blood and a constant hunger for chopping people to bits. Most of it happens off-screen, told in stories, or highlighted in the books, but everyone knows The Mountain is bad news. We should've seen the last of him in Season 4, but Prince Oberyn screamed one too many 'you raped her, you murdered her, you killer her children' lines, and Big Gregor confidently turned the Dornish hero's head to jelly. The Mountain clung to his last thread of life, before being seen at the end of Season 5...with an insanely bruised (possibly dead?) face.
