So I'm watching HBO's Rome through netflix and enjoying most of it immensley (Not the brain surgery or incest though). I got through disc 2 in the second season and the actor for Octavian has changed.
Octavian in the first season was one of my favorite characters and turned a personage from history who I did not care for into someone I was cheering for in the series.
Now with a new actor it is not the same for me. Its almost like an excellent player left a game and either the DM is now running the character or got a new player to take over and the job is being done OK but not with the really cool fun aspects that were there before.
Anyone know the story of why they switched actors? Did something happen to the young actor? Did he have alternate commitments and could not continue in the series?
