The Witcher: The tribute that was paid to the first actor who played Geralt

Long before viewers of The Witcher on Netflix were aware of Henry Cavill’s portrayal of Geralt of Rivia, there was another actor who had also played him, Michał Żebrowski, but on another show called The Hexer. Reason for which those in charge of doing the translations on Netflix for the different countries of the world, decided to pay tribute to him.

In 2002, the Polish television series The Hexer was released, which also followed the Geralt of Rivia that had been created by the creator of the books Andrzej Sapkowski and functionally told the same story as the film, but in greater detail and which starred. by actor Michał Żebrowski. Due to his great performance for that time with a fantasy program, the Netflix platform gave him a small tribute.

In the case of the Netflix series, The Witcher, in the Polish version, the platform opted for Michał Żebrowski to dub Henry Cavill’s dialogue, which allowed the actor to play Geralt of Rivia again after a break of more than 20 years. It is true that there is no physical appearance of Żebrowski, only vocal, but the return surely brought him a wonderful wave of nostalgia and pride for the opportunity.

The Hexer series only managed to get a 13-episode Season 1, which tells much of the story fans have been seeing in Netflix’s The Witcher. However, its success was very low, so the producers decided to cancel the project and not continue with it.
