  • Radio 1's Ali Plumb talks to The Witcher himself, Henry Cavill, as well as Freya Allan (Ciri) and Anya Chalotra (Yennefer) without bringing up that unbelievably catchy song. Which as you know, is a very impressive feat. They talk voices, the games, the books, pronouncing certain names and much more besides in this thoroughly nerdy chat about Netflix's TV adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski's beloved fantasy novels.

    Heartbreaking to see how passionate he is about this role and him saying it's his dream role, and now 3 years later, he has had to step down because they wouldn't listen to him about aspects of the source material that should be in the show. They had this rare gem that id Henry Cavill... someone who knew the franchise and a die hard fan. He knew what the fans of the games and books would have wanted. I mean look at how he spoke about the bath scene. He knew before anyone else that it would be an iconic scene.

    Moral of the story don’t criticise an actors level of commitment before they start a job. At the beginning people were to quick to judge Henry saying he wasn’t into the lore or didn’t even research the games . Turns out he’s a massive fan himself and geeked out on the lore. You can see it in his performance how grateful he is to be playing a legend ...A Witcher!

The writer should be male unlike with the witcher being female and its not being sexist. Warhammer's fan base comprises of 95% male so having a woman writer might not understand the majority of the fan base and might mock the source material like what the they did to the Witcher.

To be extraordinarily handsome or telegenic is a large part of what brought them into their jobs and so they should be able and prepared to deal with some admiration coming from the average looking population. Imagine nobody showing any kind of swooning emotions towards actors like Brad Pitt anymore. The whole thing would become boring and loose some of its charme. Dont let all flirtatiousness and charm die just because you feel you have to keep it almost sterile in the face of #me too! Even Lauren Hissrich when asked about the series was happily and teasingly reassuring fans that there would be nudity in THE WITCHER! Just relax a little! End of my rambling.

    Although he isn't the first actor to admit to being a legitimate gamer he's probably the one who has been most open about discussing it without treating it like something to be ashamed of or seeming to try to use it to score points with fans. A lot of people forget that Robin Williams was a huge gamer for much of his life (he named his daughter Zelda after his favorite game, and knew John Carmack of Doom and Quake fame)

      in another interview, the interviewer said "im not trying to be offensive but when i think of gamers... " and he started spewing the old stereotype of eating dorito fatties. Henry managed that super well and said he loved wearing sweat pants and eating junk food too. I love how people STILL think gamers are a bunch of introverted fat virgin guys when almost everyone is playing games nowadays.

  • @lightsidemaster
    @lightsidemaster 4 роки тому +458

    Much respect to Freya and Anya for their truly fantastic performances. But man...
    The difference in how good the character portrayals are is still crazy.
    Henry Cavill breathes and lives Geralt of Rivia. His knowledge of both the books and the games and his resulting knowledge of Geralt himself, the way he trained both his body and his skills for the visual portrayal of Geralt, every line delivery, every glare and look is Geralt down to a T.
    Doug Couckle did an amazing job on the voice for Geralt, but Henry did a job at least as great ( and Doug is a professional voice actor, Henry doesn't specify on voice acting alone ).
    He does all the stunts himself, he trains his ass off while shooting to get the sword fights right ( and to do Geralt justice ) and then in the evening he hits the gym to stay in form.
    Doesn't matter which part of Season 1 you watch, there's no actor playing Geralt of Rivia that IS Geralt of Rivia.
    Seriously MASSIVE respect. I've never fanboyed over a character portrayal so hard, and I've seen people like Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan, Christopher Lee as Saruman and Viggo Mortinsen as Aragorn.
    With this Henry Cavill has become my favorite actor.
    If you read this Henry, keep it up, you're doing a legendary job and you deserve all the praise people are giving you.
    I can only hope the show stays this good ( I certainly don't mind if it gets even better ), if the show were to deteriorate like Game of Thrones later it would break my heart.
    Btw this is literally the best interview I've seen so far, thank you BBC and Ali Plumb, this is how interviews should always be like

    • @henkondemand

      Great comment and indeed a great interview. Henry is doing a magical job just like the rest of the cast. What strikes me about this is that the entire production is elevating it's medium to higher level due to the passion and work put into it. I have never seen a show regareded this highly by fans and critics and it's totally justified. I think they are in a massive positive feedback loop that wil only get bigger with time. I hope they will be able to do a move at some point.
