Old: Tom Ellis
New: Sean Maguire
Reason for Recast: Ellis' loss was definitely Maguire's gain, as the recurring role became one of the ABC fantasy hit's male leads after the recast went down due to Ellis' unavailability to return.
"Although we love Tom Ellis, unfortunately he wasn't available," series co-creator Adam Horowitz told TVLine at the time. "We remain huge fans of his, but because we have an arc planned for the character, we had to move forward."
