They had to recast the actor for Tom Stewart, Dan Hardsmith, who played Tom Stewart for 8 seasons, is trying his luck like so many other Australian actors before him for a career in Hollywood. There is talk that he has secured a minor role in the next Dr Strange movie. John Allen, who was formally cast as the the GWS captain Phil Davis is taking over the role. John is seen as person who could provide the appropriate level of gravitas to keep the spirit of the role.

When approached for comment, John had this to say about Dan, "What Dan has achieved in the role of Tom Stewart, has inspired a generation of young Australians, it is a privilege to be called up to try to keep, the show going in what ever way I can, we're all looking forward to seeing what Dan can achieve over there, it won't take him long to take the world by storm"
