What a damn shame... None of the casted actors look like the characters |
I don't know if I agree with that totally. Here is the cast:
From top left to bottom right:
Geralt > Yennefer > Ciri > Calanthe > Fringilla > Sabrina > Renfri > Mousesack > Eist > Tissaia
My opinion on each, appearance wise:
Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia- I still feel like Henry is too much of a "pretty boy" to play Geralt, but hopefully the make-up department will be able to remedy that by giving him scars and such. Hair and eye color can be fixed with a wig and colored contact lenses respectively.
Anya Chalotra as Yennefer of Vengerberg- She looks a bit young compared to the game version of Yennefer, but I think that is the point, Yennefer is actually like 100 years old, she uses magic to appear young and beautiful, so why not make her look super young, what 100 year old woman wouldn't want to look like she was in her early 20's? Her hair color is right already, and Yennefer's trademark violet eyes can easily be done with colored contact lenses.
Freya Allan as Princess Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon- She looks quite young, but that fits since Ciri is supposed to be like 14 in season 1 of this tv series. She has the necessary pale skin, hair color can be fixed with a wig and eye color with colored contact lenses.
Jodhi May as Queen Calanthe Fiona Riannon- This particular choice is pretty much spot on. Here is an official drawing of Calanthe, compare that to the actress' photo here. She is just about the right age as well, a bit young for the role though (Calanthe would have been about 48-50 during the events this season is based on, while the actress is 43).
Mimi Nedweni as Fringilla Vigo- Not much good to be said here, Fringilla is shown to be white in the Witcher 3, Mimi is black.
Therica Wilson-Read as Sabrina Glevessig- Sabrina is one of the few characters whose game version doesn't really match the book version, but this actress matches neither. Sabrina has black hair in the books and red hair in the games, the actress has dirty blonde hair. Sabrina has black eyes in the books and green eyes in the games, but the actress has hazel eyes. Of course these are both things that can't be fixed by the make-up department with a wig or hair dye and colored contact lenses.
Millie Brady as Princess Renfri- The books describe her as having blonde hair and blue green eyes, the actress has brown hair and blue eyes. This can easily be fixed. She seems like she will be a pretty good match for this official drawing of Renfri.
Adam Levy as Mousesack/Ermion- He's not exactly the best match for Ermion imo. He lacks the long beard for starters, and he looks a bit too young.
Bjorn Hlynur Heraldsson as Eist Tiurseach- I am quite happy they cast a Scandinavian actor to play Eist, since Eist is Skelligen, Skelligens being based on real world Scandinavians. He looks the part too, has dark hair and a dark bear, which matches Eist.
MyAnna Buring as Tissaia de Vries- Other than Tissaia having dark hair in the books, this seems like a good match, as hair color can easily be fixed with a wig or dye.
