“I just felt he did a fabulous job.”
Netflix announced Cavill would leavethe show at the end of the series three.
It was where Cockle first saw what Cavill had done with the role he knew so well.
They apparently spoke for a long time afterwards about it.
When I asked if he remembered what they talked about, he smiled.
“You know, Rob,” he said, “I have a little memory of our conversation.
I remember bits and snatches of conversation, but I think I was quite nervous!
And it not being about me.
But Cockle did remember them having similar ideas about Geralt as a character.
“I do remember we talked about Superman, we talked about Geralt and The Witcher.
We had some similar thoughts about Geralt if I remember correctly,” he said.
“So yeah, I’m sad to see him go.
I wish Liam Hemsworth the very best of fortunes with it.
Hemsworth now has the unenviable task of following a very popular actor’s portrayal of the role.
“Well, Geralt of Rivia-sized shoes,” Cockle replied.
“Henry Cavill-sized shoes.
Henry really embodied the role of Geralt in a wonderful way.”
