Doug Cockle, the gravelly voice of Geralt in CD Projekt Red’s Witcher video games, has shared his thoughts on the Netflix series.
Speaking with YouTube channel Behind the Voice, Cockle said there were some “choices” made in the writers room for the Netflix adaptation he didn’t understand, but appreciated “we have to give different mediums their space”.
The actor noted the show is a “different medium from the games”, which themselves are a different medium from the books, comics and other Witcher-related media. The show’s “gotta have room to be its own thing”, Cockle said.
That being said, the Geralt actor stated he would still like to chat with the Netflix writers for more clarity on their decisions for the show.
“I don’t know why they made those choices and I’d love to have a chat with some of the writers about why those choices were made just so I can intellectually understand why,” he shared, before comparing The Witcher to HBO’s The Last of Us adaptation.
