Henry Cavill’s portrayal of Geralt in Netflix’s The Witcher was nothing short of spectacular, but how did the actor prepare for such a huge undertaking?
After all, we’re talking about a fantasy saga that centers around a titular character. In a sense, if Lauren S. Hissrich and her team had failed to do Geralt justice, the whole series would have tumbled and fallen on its own weight. And who better to portray the stoic White Wolf other than Henry Cavill, who has always been a fan of both the books and video games? While the producers had auditioned more than 200 actors, the Justice League star stole the spotlight almost immediately after saying that he’d be up to play Geralt. And while we had our doubts during the production phase, when the first season debuted on Netflix, Cavill more than exceeded our expectations due to his devotion to the part.
