I felt, in general, The Mountain's character had such insignificant screen time the past 4 seasons. Sure we all hear how hes the most gruesome fighter. All I remember was him cutting a head's horse off after losing a joust to Ser Loras. Other than that, hes pretty much been offscreen the entire time. If people hadnt told me that they changed The Mountain's actor multiple times then I wouldnt have noticed.
Edit: I just feel this is disappointing since he seems to be a really important "bad guy" that seems to revolve around everyone elses story line.
We would have probably seen him more if the original actor (who fit the part great btw) had not left to participate in The Hobbit.

I hope things are going well for him! Well he has a new actor again ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/3J1wyWQ.jpg) Maaaan, AGAIN? The guy who played him in the first season was such a beast. This guy is much more of a beast. The first two "Mountains" were both over 7foot tall, but rather lean (the 2nd one more so than the first) - I think both played Basketball at one stage This Mountain, whilst only 6 feet 8.5 inches - he weighs... 180kgs (or 396lbs) That is the absolute perfect definition of "The Mountain" IMO. He is Icelands strongest man, and placed 2nd overall in the worlds strongest man tournaments most recent competition... yep... someone in the world is stronger than him...! I cant wait to see how they show his size/strength in the season. + Show Spoiler +You call this guy the mountain? More like the munchkin. But joking aside, this current guy also played basketball, if you google Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson you can find his basketball photos from only 2-3 years ago, and he's missing about 200lbs. He didn't become the monster that he is until he started consuming lots of gummiberry juice.

Humble request:
+ Show Spoiler +This mountain thing has got me a bit confused could someone compile the three mountains into one post? Some size reference would be pretty cool too. I'll try to do one with other replacements thus far in the series a bit later to pay it forward?

Gregor Clegane the 1st.
Conan Stevens. 213cm (7 imperial feet for you 'Muricans). 130-145kg. Been a pro wrestler / stuntman / bodybuilder.
+ Show Spoiler +
Gregor Clegane the 2nd
Ian Whyte. 216cm. Google doesn't give up his weight willingly. Was previously a Predator and basketball player.
+ Show Spoiler +
Gregor Clegane the 3rd
Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson. 205cm. 190kg. 2nd strongest man in the world 2014. Generally good at feats of massive strength. Icelandic.
+ Show Spoiler +
I think the Icelandic guy seems like a good pick. The bastard is over 2x my weight  If i had to get punched in the head by one of these guys, I'd probably pick the middle dude since his fists are smaller than my head.

i was looking at those mountian pics, 1st wow pretty good, second huh...definitely not better than the first and last one i just started laughing at how perfect he was

Only disappointment with the Mountain actor's size actually has nothing to do with him and more to do The Hound - This mountain is only like 2 inches taller than Rory Mccann. Seems like there should be more of a difference between them to me. If they ever faced off it wouldn't be like it was in season 1 where the Mountain clearly towered over The Hound.

Except that directors go to great lengths to fabricate discrepancies like that with computer editing, angle shots, squatting/boosting someone, etc. Look at pictures of Bane in Batman and then look at Tom Hardy himself to get a difference.

I dunno. The difference in Daario Naharis between seasons 3 and 4 is pretty extreme.

That Jaime and Brienne scene

I wonder if Brienne and Podrik(?) are important enough to get scenes now they are traveling together.

I've been waiting and hoping for Podrick to become a serious, main character. hopefully I haven't been waiting in vain.

Aw man, from what little we've seen from the 1st mountain actor, I really liked him...

The second Mountain looked too peaceful.
The first one had this constant look/frown of the guy who might kill the poor sucker standing next to him any second. The third one might be good, though we need to see him in the show, as opposed to on pictures where he's always smiling/looking goofy.
