OMG, I loathed Michael Huisman on Treme. His character was a step away from that awful flabby hipster moron Adam on Girls. UGH. There is no way he can even approximate what Ed Skrein did with Daario, which admittedly wasn't a lot. Huisman will certainly bring a certain washed-out greasy hipster vibe to the role, though.
Huisman is probably a lot more grateful for the role than Skrein was, all things considered. Skrein is a rapper and an actor on "edgy, urban" TV dramas in the UK, and maybe the producers didn't like the fit (or the wig). Really don't see how Huisman is an improvement, unless he's cheaper.
