4. Ed Skrein - Daario Naharis

Ed Skrein is one of those actors where you just think: "How the hell does this guy keep getting work?"

He's terrible in Deadpool, Roland Emmerich's Midway and pretty much everything else he appears in and he was just as bad in Game of Thrones. In his brief turn as Daario Naharis in season three, he was a charisma void who did nothing but smirk and was completely sleep-inducing to watch.

Had he stayed on, it would've been completely inexplicable that Daenerys had fallen for this guy. Luckily, he was replaced by Dutch actor Michiel Huisman, who did a far better job.

Daario was never the best of characters but Huisman made him likeable in a roguish sort of way and thankfully Skrein's terrible run on Game of Thrones was so brief many have largely forgotten he was even in it.
