Despite the many debates regarding Liam Hemsworth’s suitability in his latest role as Geralt in The Witcher, there are many movie roles that the Australian actor has nailed.
For the fourth season of the hit Netflix series, Liam has taken over as Geralt from Henry Cavill who could no longer portray the fictional character due to scheduling issues.
Dedicated fans are skeptical of Liam’s ability to pay the rugged and legendary hunter. But the streaming giant and the brilliant mind bringing The Witcher saw his potential and offered him the role.
Initially, Liam was “pretty reluctant,” telling RadioTimes, “[I had] a lot of concerns and questions about it all. I was a big fan of the video game and then I watched the series, and was a fan of the series, and I read the books.”
Drama and conflicting feelings aside, Liam has a great film history!
