Although we think there is no actor on par with him in Hollywood, even Cavil
[http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill] himself had some major issues while
working for his monster hunter role in The Witcher. His initial days of fighting
for the role did not go right at first but later he picked up from where he had
left.


THE STORY BEHIND HENRY CAVILL AND HIS ROLE AS THE WITCHER

Henry had good knowledge of the characters and storyline of The Witcher owing to
his fascination with geek gaming. No sooner did he learn about the development
of the adaptation than he decided to name the role his own. The showrunner of
the show, Lauren Schmidt, felt all of it was a bit too early. Hence, she
revealed that his continuously persuasive personality sometimes felt annoying.
According to reports, this was the apparent reason the crew turned down Henry at
first.

However, when the production of the show started with over two hundred actors
auditioning for the role, Laura got back to Cavill. She could not get rid of his
voice that was stuck in her head for the role for a long time and the rest is
history. Henry immediately got the part that he had been pressing on for so
long.
