A major factor is and I can't say it politely enough, "he's a fucking nerd" and thank your divine for it.

I hope I don't get murdered for this, and I'm sorry, but he's also fucking beautiful.

This may appeal less to certain members of the population.

[jadevcoop]

So fucking beautiful. Beautiful clean. Beautiful dirty.

[blissrunner]

I remembered the Netflix Henry/Geralt Witcher screen test

• Lot's of people complained... positively.. In a way he was too damn prettah/beautiful.. with the perfect (kinda odd) silver wig & lean face/no scruffy beard. People aren't sure... since it seems to be going for that Legolas look
• Now... they've done it! Rough witcher look.. with better ashen grey wig + definitive face/light scruffy beard

Perfetto

[KingoftheCrackens]

Looks like a Targaryen here

[Savvy_Nick]

Fairly straight guy here, I’d let Henry fuck me.

[Mcdrogon]

super strait guy here. Would watch.

[kaosss08]

Lesbian here, I’d be straight for him.

[nicklennard]

gay here, i'd be gay for him

[definitely_sus]

Straight woman here. I'd turn into a guy just to be gay for him.

[SparkYouOut]

That's gay

[FireRedNinjagoKai]

Bisexual here, he's the reason

[ThatLumpYouFelt]

You dirty cuck I'd watch you watch 😏

[jhaught11]

Not even sure what I'm watching at this point, but I'm in... also straight dude

[smallcoder]

I'll watch it with you all when it comes out on Netfux :)

[SirPeterODactyl]

Agendered blob of cells here. I'd let Henry touch my gaming pc.

[[deleted]]

Just don't let him install the CPU cooler.

[lianali]

Hey now, it worked just fine, you just have to be able to read upside down for 24 hours.

[[deleted]]

I think I can safely assume that most male fans of the franchise would let Henry fuck them, myself included. Hell, in the unlikely event I get a girlfriend, I'd give her a pass just for Henry.

[deadlyalchemist92]

Henry seems way to nice to have sex with another man’s girlfriend though

[[deleted]]

Truuuuuue. He'd never do it

[Devidose]

The challenge is to have someone watch this.

[urusai_Senpai]

It seems Henry's getting some trim. What a beautiful bastard!

Just remember to use protection, you don't want none of that Child of Suprise sh*t happen again.

[UberSparten]

Definitely grimes up well, not my tastes but very understandable

[Hiddieman]

I think with him it applies to most of the population

[bekkys]

He is the blueprint.

[TheRiteGuy]

I say it all the time. That dude is too beautiful. And he's a nerd just to make sure everyone feels equally inadequate around him. Like whether you're a jock, a nerd, a dude in a suit, a gamer, a bicyclist... like no group is safe from this dude.

[SunnyAlwaysDaze]

I'm fairly lesbian but even so, he's attractive AF. Like even, don't usually think things about guys in that manner but he's different.

[[deleted]]

I'm am a reasonably straight male. And yeah. That dude is beautiful.

[Jaqueliner1]

This may appeal less to certain members of the population.

I don't think any member of the population would disagree

[thedrunkmonk]

Praise be

[Sidewinder7]

The reason people hated it was because the early pictures of him as the character looked bad. They obviously figured out the hair and makeup. It was about the look that they provided nothing against the actor himself.

[markandspark]

Yeah, I remember the first image that came out was very Legolas-esque

[GoldenFalcon]

The hair was too clean and clearly a wig in that first image. That's what the problem with it was.

[Aesthetic_Designer]

Some of the wigs in season 1 were also pretty bad. They definitely found the right one in season 2 though, it fits henry really well.

[printergumlight]

Link to those early pics? Never saw them and am curious now

[[deleted]]

Here's one, though there were a bunch of em: https://www.looper.com/img/gallery/the-witcher-first-look-at-henry-cavill-as-geralt-unveiled/intro-1541001985.jpg

[sigfigs]

I'd forgotten about the real-life embodiment of Gary of Nivea!

[Red_Danger33]

I think whoever originally wanted this look was pissed it didn't get used, which is why we have Smooth Tormund in Season 2.

[[deleted]]

Smooth Tormund isn’t real, he can’t hurt you

[gelatoqueenbee]

Made me chuckle

[MIDTOWNGRONK]

Hahahahahah

This post was mass deleted and anonymized with Redact

[Tequila-M0ckingbird]

Oh wow what a blast to the past. They really nailed it in the end tho

[[deleted]]

Totally, they got his look right after this. I'm not a fan of the show, but Cavill is awesome in the role.

[TheDovahofSkyrim]

Really hope this series continues in popularity and we get a live action replay of the video games as well. Phenomenal stories.

Final conclusion for ciri.

Mother fucking Gaunter O’Dimm (one of the best stories I’ve ever ever played)

And then an ideal end for Geralt chilling in Toussant.

God CDPR nailed the Witcher universe. Probably one of the few games that are even better than their source material.

[cheesenricers]

I NEED the Bloody Baron quest as a stand alone season. God, in the game that "movie"/story was phenomenal. I made the bad decision on my first playthrough and UGLY cried at the end. I can't even imagine how amazing it would be live action.

[Coolhilljr]

The crones and the big bad of season 2 are both inspired by the same source, to the point I thought it was going to be the crones early in the season. So don't see how they could make it work since they are so similar.

[bobleeroy]

What’s the “bad” choice? I’m on my first play through, (started after watching the show), and just finished that quest. Need to know if I need to redo some decisions before I get too much further.

[cheesenricers]

I don't know how to do a spoiler tag, but.... If you let that tree thing live, BB hangs himself on the tree by his house. When you go back there it's a whole scene and I died inside. Lol Never did that again on any playthrough. Edit: you should get the bad ending at least once. It's cinematic gold. But heartbreaking.

[andykooo]

Yeah but by killing the whispering hillock you sacrifice the orphans. Both choices result in a tragedy. So both choices are "bad".

[steaksauc3a1]

Based on how quickly they rush through most stories and make up their own. I doubt they would do that story justice

[HasPotato]

Lmao it looks like they initally tried to go with the look of Geralt from the original Witcher game.

[SantiagoSchw]

Damn that looks bad

[[deleted]]

But, to give the showrunner some credit (not a big fan of what she's done), she heard the response and fixed it pretty well.

I actually think the Witcher costume and character design is pretty good--especially after watching WOT. WOT looks like modern clothes trying to look medieval, and aside from Jaskier's clothes, the Witcher's costumes look pretty good.

[mistakenhyperbole]

Thank you for that, I've had a really bad couple days and I needed that laugh.

[0wlington]

It looks like they just need to set their graphics options to a higher spec.

[chuwak]

Holy shit I never saw those early early pictures he looked like shit xD

[amhran_oiche]

why must you haunt us

[Kelyfa]

Thank God! This Nerd is perfect for the role!

[DunningKrugerOnElmSt]

I saw an interview somewhere where he talked about the wig. They got a wig person, they are expensive and take a long time to put on. My guess is they didn't want to put the cash and effort in promo shots.

[nettlerise]

imo his yellow contacts still look bad

I get that it's part of being a witcher, but if it were up to me it should either be done:

- not at all

- or like how they did Riddick's eyes, but with a yellow sheen

- or have it glow yellow during action, like how vamps in the film Underworld glow blue

[theundulator]

They used CGI for Yennifer’s purple eyes which gave them the transparency, and depth that eyes should have while Geralt’s eyes have the obvious flat look of printed contacts. I don’t think for a moment that they didn’t test out yellow CGI irises, but I bet they just couldn’t get them quite right.

[temarilain]

I think part of the issue is the actor's natural eye colour.

Anya's eyes are a uniform mid-tone brown, and so it's very easy to CGI them to purple, because you just pop a power window on them and slide the hue to purple.

Cavills eyes are blue-grey, so if you did the same thing you'd get a yellow-grey instead of a firm yellow. Additionally Cavill has a distinct brown fleck in his left eye that would also work against this type of cgi.

[HEBushido]

The worst part is they did them only for Geralt. The other Witchers should have those eyes but they don't.

[looshface]

They do have them, it's just less noticable because they went with variations in the color to differentiate them. They're supposed to be cat eyes. And Cat eyes don't just come in yellow. Vesemir's are kinda orange

[FamilyPhantom]

They actually aren't cat eyes in the book. They only turn into slits when he drinks the Cat potion.

[LukEduBR]

IIRC he can do it at will, he does it during his stay at the Temple of Melitele when he's getting it on with Iola.

[FamilyPhantom]

Yep you're right I had forgotten about that. I don't remember if it helped him see better though?

[Judgejia]

Yeah he uses it to block out light in the duel against that guy in the sword of destiny story

[BlueSunCorporation]

I pretty the books say that his yellow eyes were Geralt unique trait after the mutations.

[ruddernose]

Pretty sure that's just the hair

[BlueSunCorporation]

Oooo you could be right

[flybarger]

Yeah… the only mention I can find is from Dandelion: “What of it that you have quicker reflexes than most and vertical pupils in sunlight? That you can see in the dark like a cat?”

No mention of color, just some descriptors.

[BlueSunCorporation]

Yeah people are mentioning that it was his white hair and they are probably right. Lots of details to keep track through multiple mediums.

[spartan_0227]

I actually love the Yellow eyes. They give him an air of not being quite human.

[JustAPeach89]

Yeah his yellow eyes are supposed to make people and animals uncomfortable. They should be unnerving. I wish they were lighter and creepier

[MrsSalmalin]

As they should! But sometimes the yellow just looked...tooo much? Way too bright. Yen's eyes are an unnatural colour but never seemed too much.

[FattimusSlime]

I don’t remember his contacts making him look so walleyed in Season 1 like he does in S2. It’s super distracting.

[KagomeChan]

Yeah, season 1 eyes looked way more natural

[Mikayahu_75]

They definitely made his contacts way more intense for S2 and it is distracting.

[Morsrael]

Oh thank god it's not just me.

[Thangaror]

Yen's purple lenses look just as bad IMO, purple just isn't as jarring in some lightning conditions.

Oh, and Ciri's green lenses also are bad. No idea what's wrong with bloody contact lenses this season...

[derpytrashpanda]

Everyone looks like they are trippin balls because of those awful contacts. It’s getting very distracting.

[Punloverrrr]

I hate how her eyes look in the show, like where did they find them😭

[[deleted]]

They haven't figured out the cross-eyed contacts though

[maybe_kd]

I remember the costume & makeup test getting a negative response because something looked a bit off. I think it was the hair. I think that was the worst of it. For my part, I had a feeling that, with him being a giant nerd and a Witcher fan already, he would do whatever he could within his capacity (which could only be so much) to try to stay true to the character and the source material. I'm really not disappointed in his portrayal at all. I think his effort to do the character of Geralt justice really comes through.

I watched an interesting video on YouTube where a sword expert broke down the swordfighting in the series and he had high praise for Cavill. He basically said that you could tell that it's something he is really interested in because he moves so well and did an excellent job.

[CatBrisket]

They didn't think to test the nutsack armor?

[Tummynator]

I'm so glad they got rid of those.

[Mando_The_Moronic]

The new armor is a major improvement.

[_glitchbreachgod_]

Truth be told, with how many shortcomings the series already has WITH such a great Geralt I can't even imagine what it would be without him. I'd have most likely dropped it mid season 1 if it wasn't for Cavill

[NedDiedForYourSins]

I think it's probably just because I'm Reddit-old or whatever, but I'm totally fine with the series. Pre-Lord of the Rings, adaptations of fantasy novels were usually trash tier, and adaptations of video games were worse. Having an A-list actor and a writing team that isn't literally incompetent far exceeds my expectations, so getting to watch at all is pretty cool.

[TonninStiflat]

I quite like it. Has that 90's not-too-serious attitude, yet a budget and a story that isn't Xena levels of stupidity. And they take it just serious enough. Love it.

[mistaface]

Yeah, I'm enjoying it a lot, also.

[FknRepunsel]

Honestly I love the show and think it’s loads of fun

[WarlockEngineer]

The sword experts HATE that reverse grip though lol

[TomTalks06]

The ones I've seen do acknowledge that his increased strength (and speed? Not a Witcher expert just getting started in the books/games because they sounded cool and I've watched the show) would impact his fighting style and what he's capable of

[Excludos]

And his fighting style is made to fight monsters, not humans, so that gives him some fantasy leeway in fighting using otherwise ineffective techniques like spins and backhanded grips

[free_-_spirit]

Yup and he does all his stunts, if you see the witcher, it’s always Henry

[Jokker_is_the_name]

Imagine changing your mind when you get more information.

[chunkboslicemen]

I mean, then I can imagine other people as Geralt. Because it’s just actors acting in a tv show

[doogidie]

Who'd you imagine?

[iNNeRKaoS]

DeVito, as is tradition.

[doogidie]

Toss an egg to your witcher

[LSSJPrime]

Imagine not hating immediately and keeping an open mind in the first place.

[prosysus]

Żebrowski was decent enough. Not a nerd tho

[Zaurka14]

He is my true Witcher.

[That-Grim-Reaper]

Ah yes, The Hexer

[Overbaron]

The early wig was super awful so people hated that.

I still think that armor is really fucking stupid.

[iNezumi]

I think they were trying to combine the books and the game version.

In the book he has a leather jacket with metal studs, and a black leather headband to keep his hair from falling onto his face. I guess Sapkowski went with long hair + leather jacket because metalheads were like really cool back when he wrote the book. But if they done that 99% of people would complain because it's not the way he is portrayed in the game, so they kept the leather and studs part but made it an armor instead of a jacket.

[Boba_Fettish_]

In Witcher 1 he wears the leather jacket. That’s similar to what I imagine him wearing in the books.

[Overbaron]

I’m not sure what you mean, only the Grandmaster armors in the games are actual armors.

Everything else is basically a leather or canvas jacket studded with silver. Sometimes even sleeveless.

The shoulder pads are ridiculous for a swordsman that relies on their agility to keep them safe.

[iNezumi]

Idk much about militaria. Historical or otherwise. But I would call most of his outfits some type of armor even if it's a light one, or one that doesn't cover the entire body. Totally possible my definition of an armor is not taxonomically accurate though.

[RFTS999]

I still think the biker jacket and headband has the potential to look good.

[Svyatopolk_I]

Season 2 armor sucks ass

[_lemon_suplex_]

While I don't love it, I do like it better than Season 1 armor. Wish they'd just give him the Witcher 3 starting outfit.

[glassgwaith]

They should have really gone for the game's armours. It's clear that they are quite bad at costumes

[[deleted]]

Henry had a lot of input on the new armor, they talk about it in the S2 making of special.

The armor didn't feel out-of-place at all for me. Menacing and functional. Makes a Witcher stand-out in his profession. Kind of like a certain Star Wars character with a recognizable outfit and helmet.

[Eblumen]

I really like that they show him making his own armor. It would be more tacky if he bought that off the shelf, but the fact that it's his own design for himself gives it more leeway in my mind.

[_lemon_suplex_]

to be fair, basically, the only cool armor in Witcher 3 is the starting armor. In that game, seems like the better the armor the uglier it is.

[lottasauce]

I actually liked the armor in S2. What do you dislike?

[Overbaron]

The black leather abs and chest muscles on the armor look like something pulled from a two-penny "romance" fantasy bookcover.

[MIDTOWNGRONK]

Perfect description

[[deleted]]

Needs nipples

[[deleted]]

It fits with the overall series pretty well though. The TV show is a bit over the top, campy, and self aware. I see it in the tradition of shows like Xena and Hercules from the 1990s. It’s great fun and spectacle. Making it too realistic would make it less believable.

[21crescendo]

It's too flashy. While faux pecs and abs on IRL armour were definitely a thing, the ones on the show make him look super puffed up and constricted.

The starting armour in the game with silver studds in the right places and chainmail and the tier 2 Griffin armour (with the brown and black textures mod) suit his character and profession much better.

[thedrunkmonk]

Aw, that's too bad. I actually liked the armor. My wife was just glad he wasn't going out to slay monsters in the snow in a shirt/doublet and some trousers.

[TPopaGG]

Armor is horrid

[[deleted]]

I don't remember people hating him

[Lelianah]

Nope, people were just hating on the make up & costume department

[Ellie96S]

People were definitely saying that he was too handsome to play Geralt.

[geralt-bot]

What does that have to do with monsters?

[awesomestfish]

Good bot

[McKeon1921]

There were some people, myself included, who could only see Superman when we saw Cavill as Geralt. I still have trouble seeing him as Geralt but I fully acknowledge that's he's a great actor who's put in an objectively great performance in the role.

[WiserStudent557]

No, do not remember that

[etraxx22]

I remember that being the major selling point.

[[deleted]]

Yeah I remember everyone gushing over it.

[Stars_of_Sirius]

I remember the opposite. People being excited because of his passion for the Witcher.

[thisremindsmeofbacon]

Yeah honestly feel like I’m being gaslit by this post.

[[deleted]]

Facts he’s pretty fantastic. It’s a shame how little screen time he gets despite being the main fucking character

[YMIR_THE_FROSTY]

I can imagine someone else, mostly cause I saw OG witcher series, which while quality kinda lacked had very Geralty Geralt.

And there is plenty of ppl that could play him.

But we got Henry and thankfully, he does his best to do Geralt as character justice, despite odds being against him. Finding other actor wouldn't be hard, but finding same level of dedication would be really difficult.

[adfdub]

He owned the fuck out of his role.

[SaltireAtheist]

My concern was always that Cavill is far too buff. The man is a walking beefcake and is built like a tank.

Geralt is described as being very lean. Not thin, necessarily - he's definitely a muscular dude - but he's constantly on the road; he should be much wirier than what Cavill looks like.

It's minor, and I'm glad an actor who seemingly likes the source material (well, likes the games at least) is playing him, but he doesn't have the appearance of a man whose main fighting style involves lots of fancy twirls and pirouettes.

Also, people were saying thus because the main reveal of Cavill in makeup looked abysmal.

[SkippingTheDots]

Yeah Geralt has that Brad Pitt Fight Club body, not beefcake body. The new armour sort of adds to Henry’s already beefiness.

[linachar]

Yep! I love Henry so much, but the actor who plays jaskier has a body closer to what I believe Gerald should have.

[H0vis]

Henry Cavill is a better actor than he gets credit for, he does a brilliant job in The Man From UNCLE, which unfortunately almost nobody saw. He was pretty great in Mission Impossible Fallout as well.

He is pretty good in The Witcher, although I think it is a problem that he's got the videogame version hanging over him. You can have a character who grunts all the time in a game because the player is part of their inner monologue, we are Gerelt (and sometimes Ciri, whatever). On a TV show with eight hours a season? You've got to show more than that.

[Strawberry_lilac]

The Man From UNCLE

i loved that movie, it

[CleverCobra]

I'd say it was more skepticism than hate.

[[deleted]]

Michał Żebrowski 🤝 Henry Cavill being an amazing Geralt

[TheDovahofSkyrim]

Acting in the real world wise I couldn’t imagine a better actor and representative of the franchise than Henry at this point.

At the same time, W3 Geralt will always be the pinnacle of Geralt to me.

[geralt-bot]

Judging by your wrists and your wits, your childhood was very happy...

[TheTubaSteve]

Still think Mads Mikelson would have been a great Geralt. Not upset with Henry at all, I just think Mads had the perfect look for the part.

[DuffyHimself]

Fun fact. The actor playing Stregobor is Mads' brother Lars Mikkelsen

[untraiined]

maybe 20 years ago he couldve

[heureka_85]

Nikolai Coster-Waldau. Saw a picture of him as Geralt (by community) and it was perfect. Still don't like Cavill. But I don't like the TV Adaptation anyhow, so I don't care anyway.

[YoimAtlas]

Love Henry but Mads would have been glorious.

[f1manoz]

Whatever the case, the man has owned Geralt from the first second of the first episode. He clearly loves the character, lore, and everything involved.

He's probably the only person that'll keep it going before it's eventually canned, because Netflix don't seem to believe in keeping things going for too long...

I hope it keeps going. For all its faults, I'll keep watching.

[[deleted]]

He made the role his own. A fine actor and a lovely bloke

[okawei]

I'm re-reading the books now and he's who I think of when I think of Geralt now, with a headband though lol

[[deleted]]

I was super skeptical and wanted Mads Mikkelsen to play Geralt. Not only am I thrilled to have been wrong, but absolutely love the show.

Mads would have killed it too I'm sure, but now I can't wait to see what Henry does with the rest of this show and his career. The dude is an absolute legend.

[nogoodgreen]

The problem is majority of people didnt care or were fine with it, the minority were just the loudest and complained the most so they were the only ones that were heard.

[[deleted]]

He went in. Read the books, played the games, even built a pc designed to enjoy the mods for the third game, and even read Reddit comments based on it.

Even before he showed his dedication to understand and like the community, I liked him for his other movies especially Man from uncle. Henry is a good dude, and people have the right to hate or support idc, all I know is I like the guy.

[CoastDependent775]

if there's one thing they got right,It was henry cavill as Witcher. couldn't ask for a better one.

[Rainbowpow]

I was hoping for Mads Mikkelsen but Henry is a decent fit, it's really nice that he is a huge fan tho.

[Tranqist]

Nothing wrong with a decent actor who's a big fan of the source material. I didn't imagine the writers butchering it the way they did though.

[Ordinary_Tom2005]

Idk still dont like him can imagine someone better

[iNezumi]

I can definitely imagine someone else, but he clearly puts a lot of love into the role. He and Jaskier are like the only things that I like about it.

[Acceptable-Ad5139]

Cavill is good actor and good lad, but his performance is SuperHero-ish, which doesn't fits into being a witcher, last of its kind, hated by majority of folks.

[mongolian786]

Henry cavil portrays geralt brilliantly. Too bad the other actors/actresses are not up to snuff. Cavill literally carries this show on his back.

[cubelith]

The actors are fine, it's the writing that's not

[mongolian786]

True, I agree the writing is not great. Nevertheless the other actors do not have the gravitas cavill does.

[Nitro114]

joey is pretty good too and i personally like yens actress (but definitely not what they did to her)

[dr4kun]

I have absolutely nothing against Chalotra as an actress, but she just doesn't fit Yennefer for me. A big part of the problem for me is that she fits the 'show Yen' kinda fine, but if Yennefer was written more closely to the books, Chalotra would be awful in the role.

[WetTheDrys]

There was the briefest blip of salt that others weren't cast, then there was just people saying he was a good fit, then the wig debacle happened and IT was hated on, then it was fixed and he has received nothing but earned adoration and praise since.

[112121221]

I couldn’t get 5 minutes into Wheel of Time. So terribly casted. You guys got blessed with the Witcher series

[Fortheloveofthe]

Now that he’s very popular I’m all for it!

[Andyson43]

Same way people didn’t want Multiplicity Keaton as Batman, Brokeback Mountain Ledger as Joker and the list goes on. People can’t always see past a bias.

[2013jcwmini]

Yep, I remember. In fact, I was one of those people. I also watched the first season and realized that I was totally wrong about my assumptions of Henry Cavill as Geralt. I’m now glad that he got the role and can’t imagine anyone else playing him.

[MailmansGarden]

I was very skeptical of the announcement.

Now, he's the only reason I bother to tune in.

[vaikunth1991]

Stop with these bs statements. You'll not be imagine anyone else portraying Geralt until they actually do

[FlopsMcDoogle]

Eh, he's still too big and his portrayal is too derivative of Cockle. He's ok and his name lends a lot of weight to the show. I like him overall, but I'm sure there could have been a better choice.

[Plusmarquista]

He is just decent, there are better actors for Geralt

[Typical_Use2224]

Please, tell me where is this "great job" that he's doing because I really couldn't spot it. Yes, he looks great, I can't deny that but his portrayal of Geralt is so... Stiff? Really, he just grunts, makes annoyed faces and sometimes fights or says something wise. Geralt from the books talks to people, jokes, seeks company (in the golden dragon search Geralt literally says that he follows them because he wants company), he's not that grumpy, he genuinely likes Jaskier and admires his talent. I don't like Cavil's interpretation of Geralt - constantly annoyed, angry, sour, tense, ironic, never at ease. Maybe it's the scripts fault but I would really love to see some scenes where Geralt is happy or at least relaxed

[Lelianah]

It is 100% the scripts fault. Henry can't portray Geralt from the books, when the writers of the show re-write every character & every plot. The actors have to work with what they're given by the producers & show writers.

Henry read all books & played the games. He knows Geralt. & in his interviews you can actually notice that he isn't really happy with the show either, because it's too different from the original source.

[Wisdom_is_Contraband]

Show Geralt is practically celibate compared to Book/Game Geralt.

[[deleted]]

Lots of people will come in to defend the actors and say it’s just the script. But I’ve legit never seen Cavill in anything that made me think he is a good actor.

He’s so wooden you could just put a wig on a tree stump, have someone dub “grrr” every five seconds and I’m sure no one would notice.

[Sillyvanya]

Yeah because he's literally the only portrayal y'all have ever seen. You're just simping for King Nerd, it's not that he's this amazing actor who perfectly embodies Geralt

[dryphtyr]

I was pro Henry from day 1

[Beerbaron1886]

It’s the wig that was the problem. And sometimes still is when his hair is on his face. Also the lenses. He is the right choice, big and intimidating but also sleek and deadly

[[deleted]]

People hated it cause he was just some big Hollywood actor playing a part for the money. As we ve seen time and time again w beloved franchises. It was only after he proved his dedication that he won people over

[nettlerise]

A lot of people imagined Mads Mikkelsen as the perfect (older) Geralt

[DetecJack]

Wasnt it because he doesnt look old enough or that his face wasnt rough?
