As previously reported by The Inquisitr, Henry Cavill was so desperate to play the role of Geralt of Rivia in Netflix‘s The Witcher that as soon as he heard whispers and rumors about the possible TV adaptation, he started begging for auditions. Being a keen gamer himself, he was well-acquainted with The Witcher video games and the character for which he ultimately ended up playing in the Netflix series.
While it is certainly a daunting task to bring a much-loved video game character to life, The Witcher is also based on a series of books by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. The first in this series was published 30 years ago and also has a substantial fanbase. However, according to People, Sapkowski is very impressed with the way in which Cavill has portrayed Geralt.
“I was more than happy with Henry Cavill’s appearance as The Witcher,” Sapkowski said.
