We were all skeptical that Henry Cavill was the right actor for Geralt, but now...
Last week ended on a sour note with the announcement that Henry Cavill will be taking off his white wig and hanging up his sword after. We'll see more of Geralt, but Cavill's moving on. Despite some iffy early pictures of him looking like a mediocre cosplayer, Cavill's depiction of the White Wolf has become just as iconic and defining as Doug Cockle's, so he'll definitely be missed.
It's not just that Cavill's performance is nuanced and immensely entertaining—it's that we know he takes the gig seriously. He knows the source material, he knows the games and he treats the character like he's a custodian, taking care of it and giving it respect—all things that keep fans happy. So he's built a relationship with a sizable community. And it goes beyond this role in the show.
As Fraser says, Cavill really made a name for himself as the Executive Witcher Fan in recent years. We were skeptical at first, but then he started talking about building PCs and how he wanted the role because he'd read the books. Cavill's enthusiasm may have been wielded for promotional purposes, but it was still nice to have a fellow PC gamer and Witcher fan in the show's lead role.
