Watch more of Ali looking back at the history of Henry Cavill's most famous role, Superman, and his frenemy Batman here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d5ekhdpjrrK8Zqc.html

Just like with Ryan Reynolds with Deadpool, Henry Cavill was born to play Geralt.

This guy is the luckiest gamer on earth, most gamers stream but this guy acts his own games

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.

I hope they use the same actor who played Roach in season one. He did a fantastic job.

The fact that Henry Cavill wanted to put his feet up but couldn't during the bathtub scene makes me love him even more.

See, it is possible to make great interview with Henry Cavill, without mentioning how good looking he is and making him feel uncomfortable

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!

Henry absolutely nailed the voice. Perfect balance between realistic and over the top.

Freya fangirling over Ali Plumb's interview skills is basically all of us. BBC really struck gold with him.

Henry’s biceps are bigger than my head.

Well, it makes me sad seeing this interview now that Henry is not playing the role anymore

He's such a great interviewer. He knows his stuff and asks great questions. The guests always look at ease and comfortable.

Geralt of Rivia is Henry's true Destiny.

How often is the celebrity a fan of the interviewer. That’s how good this guy is

So heartbreaking to see how much love Henry has for the franchise and yet Netflix still tossed him aside like trash for insisting they stay original to the script. What a phenomenal actor

What a nice interviewer, no sexist questions for the women, no stupid comments, very polite and nice.

This actor is cool. He should be casted for superman.

sleeves get nervous when henry's bout to wear a shirt.

Why is Henry Cavill so humble, kind, dedicated and extremely gorgeous? He's so precious.

He was trying to put his feet up. *Goddess bless this man.*

Henry saying iconic is also iconic

It's funny how Freya and Anya look like they're about the same age when they're doing an interview and being themselves, but in the series you can see Yennefer as a much more mature woman whereas Ciri is just a little girl. They're both very good for their roles!

The fact that Henry Cavill is so well read and fully aware of the importance of this role is awesome. I respect him more now.

Seeing how passionate Henry is about the saga and how much he loves all the characters and the story, I am even sadder that he is not going to be Geralt next season

Just remember that when Cavill was once on a talk show, he said that he would rather be home playing World Of Warcraft, what a guy

Freya looks exactly how I would imagine someone named freya would look

I like the Tv series but the fact that Roach didn't glitch up to the Top of the roof kinda breaks the immersion

Anya has a very calm vibe in real life. Nothing like the intense power-hungry Yennefer she plays in the series. That proves what a good actress can do

Henry is Geralt like Hugh is to Wolverine or Robert to Ironman.

geralt is good, he should be cast as henry cavill

Seeing this after Henry left the witcher series just broke my heart He was so excited about this role and loved playing it so much

Yennefer is the most beautiful character I have ever seen...after her transformation in the series i was frickin shocked

Plot Twist: Geralt of Rivia is actually acting as Henry

- Say something with Geralt's voice!! - Hmmm... *People fainting*

anya’s voice is so soft i love it

Cavill adding the grunts in without telling him or anyone putting it into account, literally made every scene where grunted so great and epic.

Can you imagine this hulking beast of a greek god sitting in his boxers and tshirt playing games like any of us? Henry is so grounded I love it. He understands fandom because he is a part of it.

I hope in season 2 Geralt wants to loot something but ignite a torch by accident instead

Yennefer is hot af. Anya killed the role man. Especially as the hunchback in the beginning.

I like the interviewer and particularly how his questions for the women were the same as for the men, about the craft and their interactions with the material instead of what you sometimes see.

Cavill is such a class act, it’s not many actors of his profile that would praise the talents of a voice actor or even mention them. You can tell he really cares about the show.

Goddamn Henry is so passionate about Geralt that I can feel it strongly through my screen.

I am really impressed by the amount of respect Henry has for the lore of the witcher. This is the kind of respect i want to see in actors that get the privilege of being a character from such a well established title. truly amazing.

I LOVE the fact that Henry has read the books and played the games. It means a lot more when an actor is invested like that in a character.

I think Henry is the most attractive real-life Gamer I've ever seen.

When actors are worried about being faithful to the original version you get this love from the audience. He deserves all the positivity he is getting.

Love his long-winded explanation as to where he got the voice from when basically he finally admits that he wanted it to sound as close to the game voice as his natural British accent would allow.

I initially watched the Witcher because Henry Cavill but now I became a huge Anya Chalotra fan. Great performance!! Thanks Netflix for all Henry Cavill's movies and series!!

I think we can all agree that Ali Plumb is the best in the game. He is truly passionate about film and cares about his job. A way to go Ali, well done!

I agree with everyone saying Henry nailed it but Anya (Yennefer) also absolutely killed it. Especially in the initial episodes, playing the role with her deformity.She was amazing!!

Such humility in this cast. Henry Cavill is such an accomplished actor, and yet remains an approachable, humble person. To see similar traits in his younger castmates makes the love and appreciation for the show translate easily to the people behind it. Looking forward to season 2. Cheers~

Ali is an incredible interviewer. I wish there were more like him who don’t try to pander OR upstage. I have yet to see him do a bad interview. Celebrities must love this guy.

Henry's probably ruined it for any actor to do Geralt in the future. He's so good he makes me wait in anticipation for his next scene. I really hope the next season will contain more fighting scenes for him because I thought the first lacked it a bit. "Hmmm"

It's funny how everyone says that Henry was born to play the Witcher. I remember when it was announced that he would be playing Geralt, and the first images came out, people were so salty! Maybe now they will first give someone a chance before they start flaming...

He was trying to put his feet up. This guy...

I love how Henry Cavill is a gamer like...idk why but it’s great

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)

SIGH the potential this series had....... I'll cherish season 1 and remember how I felt watching it :)

Freya looks very old and very young at the same time

Man, Henry Cavill being a huge fan really made him kill this role. Glad they got someone who was a talented actor and passionate about the role.

i can't believe that even after all these interviews that henry has done, no one thought to ask him to do the geralt of rivia voice? lol

I tought that Geralt's grunts and "hmm"s from the game couldn't be bettered but Henry totally nailed them! Most important part lol

I love Anya voice, she sound so calm and relaxing

This interviewer did great. He made Anya, Freya and henry feel comfortable and seen, even me watching this interview felt good about it. Love a good interview that doesn't make me wish I could unsee it.

It's crazy to think that those grunts weren't originally in the script as they're a defining part of Geralt's character and I'm glad that Henry had the foresight to add them into his performance because it was all for the better of the show and his character.

He's Superman and also The Witcher how cool is Henry Cavill. Man this guy is awesome.

"and I caught myself in the mirror and I was surprised I still existed" yeah that's how I feel every day

"i think my heart's punding!" *touches pancreas*

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

It's awesome to see how much Cavill knows about the Witcher. It's clear he really is a true fan, and I think it's awesome when fans get an opportunity to play a character they really enjoy

I don't care what other people say, I dig Henry Cavill's Witcher voice.

when Henry said "i wanted to put my feet up"during the bathtub scene lmao, imagine the scenes

I wish Anya could’ve talked more, tbh. Her character actually got me into the show. I relate to Yennefer, and I love her story. She’s not just some pretty mean girl. She knows what it’s like . Yennefer and Jaskier are my favorites lol

Very professional interview, he didn't ask about his looks at all, very good interview

I didn’t think I could love Geralt more than I do but in this second season he is even more loveable with his honour and integrity. It’s like he and Henry have melded together. Well done Henry.You have done The Witcher proud!👏💕💕

Ali Plumb is literally in a class all his own as far as interviewers. And this cast is incredible🙂

As long as they don't pronounce "Geralt of Rivia" as "Geraldo Rivera", they'll be fine.

Why no one is talking about anya chalotra that she looking so beautiful and her acting in Witcher was so good too ❤️

Im so happy that ,,The witcher” has it’s second life. I literally grew up with this book

Can we take a moment also to appreciate the interviewer please? It's a chill and comfortable interview for me.

0:37 Yennefer: "my heart's pounding" *feels her guts* a witches devotion

@ 7:57 That’s my good friend’s older brother with his fiancé!!! I’ve bet they have no idea their photo was used for reference in this interview lmfao I can’t contain my laughter randomly seeing this knowing full well they probably have no idea their pic was used. Btw: Those two spent a good amount of time making their outfits from scratch while leading busy lives through their career. So the craftsmanship had every ounce of passion and intricate detail needed to execute such a great cosplay. Geralt’s chain mail took the longest from what my friend told me. This is hilarious and awesomely unexpected. I can’t wait to show my bud and his fam it’ll be great

Can we take a moment to appreciate how good this interviewer is? He did an amazing job to ask good questions and make the actors comfortable.

Is this...is this some new Witcher content? 🥺

I love the way he is interviewing. very sympathic and nice, never makes someone uncomfortable to get clicks or whatever

It's still astonishing to me that the showrunner and writing team managed to chase Henry away. Given the direction they are going, I don't blame him at all for leaving.

Literally Henry Cavill as witcher is something else 🛐💓

It hasn't been brought up enough I believe, how amazing is what he did with the voice. He took inspiration from an established work, and made it his own. I haven't found any fan who has a problem with Henry's Geralt voice. It would be too obvious or cartoony if he straight up mimiced the games' voice over.

My reaction to Henry Cavill in the bathtub: 'Hmm...'

I love Cavill he’s fantastic. Anya Chalotra was the biggest surprise tho.

Oh god I love Henry. He was so perfect for this role. Im gonna watch and rewatch the witcher 1&2 for sure until I die

the dichotomy is striking. The girls: "nope didn't know what this Witcher thing was..had to google it." Henry: Talks about the nuances and fine details of the books and the games, listing reasons why he wanted to adopt certain things. Henry is the the hero we need, but don't deserve...

Just like everyone, when I heard Netflix was doing the Witcher I cringed n thought Nooooooo..... But OMG, the way Henry has knocked it outta the park. I stand here with so much respect. Thank you.

When I first started watching his films I thought he was going to be a smug, arrogant person. I can't believe how wrong I was he really seems nice and down to earth. The type of person that you could spend hours talking to about sci-fi and it wouldn't be limited to just the films. He knows his stuff. He is starting to become my favorite actor.

Freya is not letting Anya talk.. she constantly interrupting her even if questions is particularly asked to Anya.. I wish Anya could talk more.. I got into this show just because of Yennefer's bold and powerful character.

I can still remember Bosslogic Inc.'s first fan art of Henry Cavill as the Witcher. From a fan art to actually getting him as the character, astonishing!

Anya Chalotra is cute Af. Everyone in this show is attractive.

Absolutely love the bath scene, and love that voice , it's the type of voice you want to hear saying ' good morning ' to you an inch away from your ear . Goosebumps going on.

She is right Ali is a great interviewer so relatable and says what we are thinking! He makes me laugh and seems to get some of the quieter celebrities to relax and have fun!
