1
I have been a fan of the fantasy genre since I was a boy.
2
My dad would read to me before I could read, and then any of my free time spent reading has always been, well, more often than not, has been reading fantasy genre.
3
I'm a big PC gamer as well, and so I spent a lot of my time playing role-playing games in that genre, and played The Witcher games.
4
I played The Witcher 3 through twice and then I just, this is the kind of thing I do.
5
This is the kind of thing I do in my free time.
6
So the opportunity to work on this for real and make it my job as well, get paid for doing my hobby stuff, was ideal.
7
And I just wanted to make sure that Geralt was represented as accurately as possible.
8
So these are books that you read as a kid and now you get to play the character.
9
I didn't read the books as a kid, I played the games.
10
They released a game called Witcher 3 about five years ago now played that game to the death.
11
Really?
12
And then I heard it was coming out, I met the showrunner, and that's when I learned there were books.
13
Read the books and I realized I was missing out on the whole world of the stuff.
14
Because I've been into the fantasy genre since I was a kid.
15
Since before I could read, my dad was reading me fantasy books.
16
When it comes to fans, it is a fan's right to have whatever opinion they want to have.
17
And people are going to be upset, because especially when you're talking about books or games, because you're never going to be the exact person who they had in their head
18
or who they played on Witcher 3, for example.
19
I don't necessarily consider that toxic, I just consider that passionate.
20
And it's something which I obviously had to come to terms with over the years.
21
Did you play the video games as a research?
22
I...
23
Yes, I did.
24
In fact, I played the video games before reading the books.
25
I thought the books were based upon the games because any time I saw a Witcher book, it was always game art on the cover.
26
and after meeting with Lauren she told me about the books I ended up reading the books and loving them.
27
I've been a fan of fantasy genre since I was knee-high to a grasshopper
28
and so for me it was a real treat to jump into that and Sapkowski's writing incredible.
29
PlayStation or Xbox?
30
PC.
31
Oh wow, you're a PC gamer?
32
Yeah.
33
Was that from when you were young?
34
Yes, my dad got me into that when I was very very young.
35
Did you kind of build your own gaming PC?
36
I have not quite ventured into building my own myself.
37
I've definitely had custom PCs over the years.
38
That will be the next project.
39
As soon as I find enough time and the bravery, I might put my own PC together.
40
Yes, I knew about it.
41
I'm a big gamer.
42
I played the games and I read the books and I loved both of them.
43
I love the adaptation that the games is of the books
44
and it's a wonderful opportunity for me and indeed for us to be adapting the books into our own way.
45
And yeah, it's been an amazing journey and one I'm looking forward to continuing.
46
Were you guys surprised to find out that he was a gamer?
47
No. No. Not really.
48
No. Not at all.
49
No, I wear my geek on my sleeve these days.
50
Right, right.
51
So why did you choose this role in this show, this series, Henry?
52
I have been a big fan of the IP for a while now.
53
And I first was introduced to it via the games.
54
The book series on which this is based?
55
Yes, yes.
56
And then I learned that there were games, sorry, books.
57
And that was written by a guy called Andrew Sapkowski.
58
And the books are absolutely fantastic.
59
You sought this rollout.
60
You're the one who...
61
Absolutely.
62
Why?
63
I mean, you just love the games, love the books?
64
I love the games.
65
The games are, especially Witcher 3, super immersive.
66
And I don't know if anyone here is a gamer or anything, if anyone has played the games, but super immersive.
67
And when I was playing it, I always thought I'd make a great movie or TV show.
68
No kidding?
69
Yeah, yeah.
70
And then I do that a lot with a lot of games, a lot of games and books.
71
And then I heard that Netflix were making it, and I had my agents on the phone every day, literally every day.
72
I would call them and say, anything yet?
73
Call them again.
74
And we got through eventually, and they said, look, we haven't got a script yet.
75
We've barely got a showrunner, so we can't give you an answer.
76
But you front-loaded your interest.
77
Yes.
78
That's got to help right there.
79
They knew that I wanted it, for sure. For sure.
80
So I know I might be offending people out there when I say that, when I think of gamers.
81
I think of a guy in his sweats, you know, some chips, Fritos, just sitting around.
82
All things I like, sweat, chips, fritos.
83
Seriously?
84
Yeah, yeah.
85
Really?
86
Absolutely.
87
Okay.
88
I mean, not all the time.
89
No, I understand.
90
Clearly not.
91
But I mean, that's how you...
92
Give me the gaming...
93
I guess...
94
Like, you wanna know what I look like when I'm gaming?
95
No, I...
96
What's your gaming man cave look like, essentially?
97
My gaming...
98
I mean, I live in...
99
I've never asked...
100
Just so you understand, I've never asked another human being, what do you look like while you're gaming?
101
I wouldn't, but I'm glad I eventually got to what I wanted to ask.
102
Maybe one of these days I'll send you a photo. Would you?
103
Yeah.
104
Please send gaming.
105
Just FaceTime me, Henry.
106
That's all I'm asking.
107
It doesn't matter if you're gaming or not.
108
I'll live stream you.
109
But what does it look like?
110
I mean, where are you?
111
I don't have a man cave.
112
I've got a small muse house in London.
113
What a muse is, it's like an old stables, and they've been converted into houses over the years.
114
Okay.
115
And it's not huge.
116
So my computer desk is in my very small living room.
117
Right.
118
And it's just at the end there.
119
That's interesting.
120
Nothing special.
121
Well, nothing special.
122
It's just a converted barn, right?
123
It's not even a converted barn.
124
It's not.
125
The stables themselves are all separate houses.
126
Yeah.
127
So it's one set of stables.
128
Yeah, see, this doesn't sound like any gaming experience I've ever heard.
129
No, it doesn't look like a stables either.
130
It's not like sawdust and horses and stuff.
131
I'm maybe painting the wrong kind of picture.
132
Yeah.
133
Although if you want to believe that, believe that.
134
Why not?
135
Just get the hair out of the way, I can't see my controller.
136
So what else do you game?
137
What else do you play?
138
Anything else?
139
I play PC games rather than console games.
140
Okay.
141
But Total War's is a big one for me.
142
Okay.
143
It's like a strategic world conquest type thing.
144
You know, as one does.
145
So are you out there where somebody is just gaming against you, they have no idea that they possibly are in a virtual world with Henry Cavill?
146
World of Warcraft?
147
Yeah.
148
Yeah, but that's the only online game I play for now.
149
Okay.
150
Not an Overwatch. But, yeah.
151
Those are pretty very popular.
152
Yeah, those are big ones.
153
So do you watch some of the professional gaming?
154
Do you ever sit around and do that sort of thing?
155
I barely have time to play myself these days.
156
I bet.
157
And so if I'm watching pro gamers, I'm not wasting gaming.
158
I have a buddy of mine who owns one of these teams, okay?
159
Okay.
160
They're a big deal.
161
They're huge.
162
Yeah.
163
I mean, they're beginning to give out scholarship, like actual academic scholarships.
164
Absolutely.
165
At big universities, but I don't know what the hell I'm looking at.
166
I mean, and my friend is like, oh, we're close.
167
We're close to winning.
168
And I'm like, okay, I have no earthly idea.
169
But can you, I know, you can follow that sort of stuff though, huh?
170
Depends on the game.
171
Okay. But yeah.
172
All right.
173
In the love scenes, the bathtub scene went absolutely viral on the internet.
174
Did you expect that type of reaction from fans?
175
Absolutely.
176
Yeah, I'm a big fan of the games as well.
177
And the bathtub scene is a massive piece of the games.
178
And so, yeah, no, I knew what was happening when it was happening.
179
I was like, okay, here we go.
180
Like, I don't know if they know, but.
181
I'm a big gamer and so I played the games a lot and
182
Then when I heard
183
that the show was becoming a thing It was a bit like a an opportunity dream come true to
184
if Henry I know your background You are a gamer
185
and the series of courses is based on the books But the games are also based off the books as well.
186
Yep, and or and for you, too It's like how do you bring those all together and balance all that out?
187
Because there's a large portion of the audience
188
that has only played the games and not read the books and kind of making it all feel at home.
189
For me, personally, it's like...
190
It would be like playing another run of The Witcher 3, but with a completely different skin on.
191
And that, I think, would be interesting.
192
Because I've played it through a number of times now, and it's like, okay, cool, I've done it, I've seen it, and I still get that same enjoyment out of playing it through, but what if I could play it slightly differently?
193
Then, yeah, this is kind of what it is for me when you're doing the show.
194
Yes, it's Geralt of Rivia, the Witcher, but he looks like me now.
195
And for me, that's an interesting thing.
196
It creates a freshness to it because the themes are still very similar. Will there be Gwent?
197
We can't talk about that.
198
When I heard Doug Cockle's incredible performance in Witcher 3, which I've heard time after time and time again, because I've played the games a lot.
199
Fulfilling my end of the bargain brought you the head just like you wanted.
200
I realized that I could utilize something like that and create this stony exterior, and I wasn't going to make him American,
201
like Doug Cockle performed in The Witcher.
202
And so I kind of blended my natural accent with that gravelly tone which Doug uses.
203
My tone tended to be a little deeper, his was more into the whisper range.
204
That was going to show the boiled down essence of who Geralt was.
205
I want to ask you about your geeky and gamer side.
206
Oh, okay.
207
So because when we heard that your first approach to Geralt was through a video game, how much of a gamer are you?
208
I'm very much of a gamer.
209
I mean, it depends on who I'm talking to.
210
If I'm talking to the average person, very much massively a gamer.
211
But if I'm talking to a pro gamer, no, he would probably, he or she would think that I'm not as much of a gamer.
212
I only have a certain amount of time in my life, actually.
213
I was going to say my free time, but I don't have much of that either, where I get to play computer games.
214
And when I do, I get very involved.
215
I really get stuck into it, especially when it's a good game that comes along like Witcher 3 or the Total War series.
216
Love those.
217
What are you playing right now?
218
It depends.
219
It depends where I am because I'm traveling right now, so online games are pretty much out of the question.
220
Total War, Warhammer 2, that's the one which I'm on now because that's always a good jump in game.
221
I can always jump in, play for a bit, play for a few hours, pass the time, jump out again, and then I can come back and nothing's changed.
222
I'm looking forward to the new World of Warcraft coming out.
223
that looks good and how they're resetting everything down to 60, that's going to be cool because it makes the game a lot more playable.
224
I never got back into the retail version of the game.
225
That's why I enjoyed jumping into Classic because it was 0 to 60 and it felt obtainable where the retail version, it was, I don't know what they got up to,
226
a hundred and something.
227
And you just think, I mean, it's, that's just so unobtainable and so far away to start the whole game again.
228
I didn't really want to do that but now they're resetting everything from zero to 60, so I'm looking forward to that.
229
When you guys watch the show, you can say, that is a Cavill piece of The Witcher, and hopefully that will translate wonderfully and people will love it and it'll become a great thing,
230
like Doug Cockle's voice in Witcher 3, for example.
231
If I were to use one example which people can compare to something, it would be the voice.
232
Doug Cockle did his voice in Witcher 3.
233
I was doing a voice at the start of the show and I was like, this isn't working.
234
I need to bring some more gravitas to the voice.
235
And I loved Doug's performance, and I wanted to make sure I wasn't just going to be a carbon copy of Doug's performance.
236
And so instead of doing the American accent, I gave it to my own natural accent.
237
And Doug's voice in The Witcher 3 is in more of a whisper register. Where...
238
Yours is more like...
239
It's a bit sort of gravelly, more gravelly.
240
And they are similar, there are comparisons, especially when one is conveying different emotions depending on whatever.
241
And I can't wait to sit down with Doug and actually talk about this.
242
But it's, yeah, that's the one thing which I think I could probably say that's what I did and it was very, very consciously done.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
