"Henry Cavill is a massive fan of video games. When it was announced that a video game adaptation of The Witcher TV Series would take place, the actor nagged his agents to set up a meeting with Lauren Schmidt Hissrich to lobby for the role of Geralt of Rivia. However, she turned down the agents of the actor for a meeting because she was yet to write the script of the TV Series.
However, the actor continued to pester his agents for a meeting, and after repeated attempts, the program creator agreed to sit for a meeting as “He was really annoying,” and told the actor that she has to write the script of the show.
“I will meet with you. The show is not green-lit. There is nothing. Thank you. Now I have to go write the show.”
Hissrich wrote the script of the show over the following months and auditioned 206 actors for the lead role. As she continued working on the script, she realized that Henry Cavill is the right man for the role because he was well aware of the source material. During an interview with Vulture, the actor confirmed that he was urging his agents to get him the role as he was not going to miss out on the series."
