I hated Henry as Superman, I was prepared to HATE him when my FAV OF ALL TIME GAME witcher got a Netflix adapt with him as witcher. ... ... ... Now I worship Henry.
Henry shares a healthy perspective on being aware of criticism and praise. He also handles being juggled around in interviews very well. Show hosts have very little time and limited capacity to prepare really nuanced questions and understandings of their guests' current projects, and guests' fans will nitpick every semantic error a host may make (Herald, Jeralt comments,) which rarely ends up being funcitonal constructive criticism. Here, Henry doesn't make interviewers feel bad if they're not as passionately learned regarding The Witcher world as fans are. He instead works to respectfully answer them and then give extra depth for the fans that would like it. Henry is doing a great job handling the public role of Geralt, and I appreciate he continues to uplift his teammates and the production staff for all their excellent work as well.

You have to admire Henry's courage and display of confidence in reading internet comments. If I were in his place and read some of the rudest comments out there - the destructive criticisms ones - I would shrivel up and hide under my blanket to never emerge again. I really admire and respect him for being able to not take it too personally, bc it could destroy a person. Instead, he turns into a positive and strives to improve bc his end game is to be THE BEST Geralt EVER. I was not a fan of Henry before he became Geralt. I was indifferent to him. But as Geralt, I absolutely LOVE him. What a gift we've been given!

Always have to note, if Henry ever plays James bond he will have played superman, Sherlock Holmes, and James bond. Probably the big three in terms of movie characters and icons
Henry is a nerdy gamer who happens to be extremely good looking lol, i sense he's intellectual and deep but with enough humility not to appear presumptuous about his intelligence, he commands respect because he's respectful. I feel like i could talk with him for hours and feel at ease that he won't make me feel dumb and i could just learn a lot. I adore the guy, he's my Superman, whether he gets to play him again or not.

Russell Crowe and Henry Cavill's paths first crossed when Crowe was filming scenes for Proof of Life near Cavill's boarding school where he was playing Rugby. Cavill, who had been in school productions, sought acting advice and questioned Crowe. Crowe remembered the schoolboy and sent him a parcel, which included signed photograph, and they say the rest is history
I mean it would only take him like 1 minute to watch a trailer where they say his name correctly lol
