Henry Cavill's training for the role consisted of extensive sword-training (besides the rigorous bodybuilding required to prepare his physique for the camera). He said, "I spent all of my free time, and when I wasn't on set, with a sword in my hand. It was getting used to the weight of the sword, using it day in and day out. I had three swords where I lived, and four at work. And it was just non-stop practice, practice, practice."

@@Killerkarotte1 This seems like bait but fuck it ill bite. If you are being serious you clearly haven't read the books or explored the actual witcher lore. I'll entertain this stupid comment for a minute. Firstly, mimicking source material does not make someone a bad actor, it makes them a great actor. Your complaint of "coping the video game character" is unironically a compliment, it means they have done well in portraying the source character. Cavill is an avid Witcher fan having read all the books and lore. So saying he is "copying" the character, is literally the best thing you could have said. I'm not sure what you want? Do you want an actor that doesn't care about the character and portrays them completely different than the source material? Like I don't even understand your complaint here.

@@rain9058 Yet he acted so badly. Wrong voice, pretty much weird panic attacks that Geralt does simply not do throughout the show (example when Dandelion and him were captured by Filavandrel - where Dandelion: "this is where we escape" and Geralt says "this is where we die" and moves maniacally, screams and roars - Geralt shouldn't have random panic attacks for absolutely no reason, especially not saying this is where we die where he doesn't even know tf is happening), or random anger outbreaks that are both badly acted out and unnatural, and plain weird for Geralt's character according to the books or very well continued games (scene with Dandelion after saving Villentretenmerth's baby for example), and so on. I understand that it's idiotic screenplay, directors, writers and so on blame for the most part, but Henry didn't help one bit with the situation. Completely missed Geralt's character and acted poorly. The role did't suit him one bit (not even physically).

For people who do not understand this scene: Geralt killed off those goons because they wanted to murder all those people on the market to force Stregobor to leave his tower so that Renfri could kill him. Geralt decides to kill them for "the lesser evil" that he did not believe in at first. At the end people throw rocks at him and tell him to leave Blaviken forever while he actually saved their lives, but without them knowing that. Then Marilka, (Marilka's father in the book) who knew what really happened, tells him to leave to leave anyway because of Geralt's safety. I hoped I kinda informed some people because this story was very unclearly explained in the series and you actually have to read the book to really understand it.
