Television Roles that became iconic after recasts

[a_files06]

-One of the most enjoyable aspects of tv is a good old recast. That original pilot of your favorite show wherein one of the characters is played by someone else? It brings a whole new appreciation to the character most of the time

True Blood was such a fun over the top show, really enjoyed it for what it was. Sometimes I think about Terry Bellefleur as a character and I get sad because it was sad (And he was really cute). But then I also think about the actor who played Lafayette and I get irl sad :(

But then I also think about how Sookie and Bill are dating in real life which comes as a shock every time I remember it lol. Obviously I have a lot on my mind with this show.

Not rly dating, i think they’ve been married for a few years now.

Yeah lol I changed my wording because I didn't agree with my sentence structure but now it makes even less sense actually oops yes they are indeed VERY married.

[georgeslymaniv]

I think about his “who ordered the burger with aids?” scene a lot. the delivery. he was wonderful.

I hate what they did to Terry's character too. Ugh. :(

I really hate it but at the same time I like it because to be honest, the fact that it still hurts (And it's not even a real person lol) years later means that it was a really good character, deep storyline and painful execution...

However tbh in my head he lives happily ever after with Arlene :(
