Was any else disappointed that Mads Mikkelsen wasn't hired to play the Witcher? He's the first actor that comes to mind when I think of a cinematic portrayal of Geralt. Cavill is good, but Mikkelsen would have been great.

Yes, Anson would have been very good choice for Geralt. Slovenian actor Sebastian Cavazza too.
Cavill is too handsome and muscular for Geralt and looks ridiculous with that wig. A good actor in the wrong role.

I watched the trailer for season one and some clips and yeah he could defiantly play the character. But I still stand by my man Mikkelesen. Mount has the advantage of not having an accent though and he is a couple years younger.

I'm not a big fan of "Westerns", but IMO "Hell on Wheels" was a really good t.v. series, and should appeal to those on these boards/worth checking out.

I like spaghetti westerns, especially the classic ones staring Clint Eastwood. I'll give "Hell on Wheels" a watch at some point.

I agree that Cavill is overly refined in appearance for the role. I don't recall Geralt being jacked in the novels, and he defiantly is not in the video games. And pretty sure that the video games are faithful to the books.

By Crom, Cavill shoulda been Conan.
Sword Expert Reacts to The Witcher (Netflix)

By Crom, Cavill shoulda been Conan. Sword Expert Reacts to The Witcher (Netflix)Thanks Hun. He makes some similar observations to youtubers Skallagrim and Shadiversity on the Blaviken/Renfree fight. Some fantastic fight choreography in there. I think Cavill would make for a convincing Conan. He's generally underused in the movie industry and imho is forged from the kind of mould that would make him a great lead for a number of classic male heroes like Conan, John Carter, Tarzan, Doc Savage, Bond etc, in addition to the Witcher and Superman.

Laidback interview with Henry Cavill. He's a fan of heroic fantasy writer David Gemmell too:

A Gemmell fan to boot? If he doesn't mind swords and cloaks in a few years time, he'll be old enough to start playing the average middle-aged Gemmell hero . . .
