Rickard Karstark – Game of Thrones

If you’re have a hard time remembering characters on Game of Thrones, you’re not alone, as so many actors have been replaced. The show made the decision to give the boot to Steven Blount, who played the minor character Richard Karstark, after the first season.

The crew replaced him with John Stahl starting in the second season, but either didn’t give it much thought or didn’t care. The character’s hair and beard color went full-on gray, which wasn’t explained, though most people may not have noticed or cared.
