Oh right I forgot to clarify! It's about Amazons Wheel of Time show, where they sneakily replaced the actor for Mat Cauthon between seasons with a really similar looking guy

Man the actors' association really has to negotiate some better work conditions when it comes to dealing with cursed artifacts. Willem Dafoe still hasn't recovered from the Green Goblin mask.

I wouldn't call it sneaky 😂 they were pretty up front about it

Maybe I didn't catch it in time 😂 I was late to watch season 2, because I had barely started the books when it aired.

I'm curious, was it confirmed to be mental illness? I thought the official story was "no comment".

It doesn't really matter, I'm just curious.

I agree, I actually thought no particular reason was given.

I do like the new guy though, he did great in the finale of season 2.

I loved Harris. He was my favorite in season 1 alongside Sister Strongjaw. I really like Finn, too, and absolutely agree that he was great in the finale.

I wish Harris well, whatever is going on, and I'm looking forward to Finn's future.

Since this is about wheel of time, I'll clarify. We don't know why the original Mat (Barney Harris) left the show. No official or unofficial word has ever been given by Harris or anyone else associated. Speculations abound, but nothing has ever confirmed his reason for leaving.
