During an interview, while talking about his character in The Witcher, the British actor stated that he felt a connection with his character Geralt of Rivia. While talking about Geralt, the Enola Holmes 2 actor said,
“I really feel a connection to Geralt and who he is and his nature, especially from the books. And having played the game for many, many, many hours, it was something that I had a connection with. And so it was just about bringing a version of me, which is a version of Geralt, into Lauren’s show.”
He further added,
“Geralt always wants to do the right thing. And his intention is there: His goal is to do the right thing, make the right choice, and protect the people who need protecting. But he’s also very willing to do some of the necessary, harder things that are required. And that may be from my military upbringing where I have that trait.”
The third season of the series is currently trending due to Cavill’s final appearance as the Witcher. The 40-year-old actor received lots of praise and appreciation for his portrayal of Geralt in the fantasy drama.
