For Henry Cavill’s social media followers, it’s no news just how much the actor dabbles in gambling and fantasy epics. His official “nerd” status, as he himself has repeatedly acknowledged in interviews, is unlike any other A-lister in Hollywood.

Andrzej Sapkowski’s novels, which have been exclusively adapted by Netflix for live streaming, were opening to casting calls when Henry Cavill decided to join forces. However, the actor was unfortunately rejected at first after being deemed unsuitable for the role of Geralt of Rivia. Later, when the actor was finally asked to audition for the role instead, he was signed into the project the same day.
“We had a meeting and a few days later they said, ‘Listen, the role is not for you’ or ‘that’s not right’ and then, I was crushed. I resigned myself to that and I finished another reading of The Witcher. And then they said, ‘Look, okay, they’ve done the casting and you don’t have to, but do you want to audition?’, and I said, ‘No, absolutely. This is Geralt de Riv and I want to audition. I did a reading and I think I was given the part later today… I really like it this character and I will fight tooth and nail for him, to do him justice.
