If you are a fan of the show, you very well know who Marvin T. Milk is. His nickname, Mother's Milk, comes for a reason. Marvin is addressed as a mother because of his kind-hearted and loyal nature. He has been the one to keep The Boys together on numerous occasions, and some might argue he has been the leader of the team long before Season 4.

The reason he joined The Boys was because of a tragic accident in his past when his grandfather was killed by Soldier Boy, which also resulted in his father dying from stress. His determination to avenge his family and get rid of the Supes is what made him team up with the far more reckless Butcher.

Let's make it clear: Mother's Milk's actor was not changed in Season 4. Laz Alonso, who played M.M. from Season 1 to Season 3, is continuing his journey in the show and shows no signs of ending it. However, we do see why some fans might think otherwise.

Ever since the release of the first trailer for Season 4, viewers have speculated that Mother's Milk is being played by a new actor, but this is not the case. Laz Alonso is a fitness enthusiast and constantly shares his progress online. The reason he looks so different is because of the significant amount of weight he lost. He mentioned under one of his Instagram posts that he has been focusing on his diet for a while now. Mother's Milk's usual appearance was very muscular, which is why the difference is so contrasting now. In addition, M.M. doesn't have his typical beard anymore and is rocking a shaved look.
