Doug Cockle, who originated the voice of Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher video game franchise, says Liam Hemsworth has done a "fantastic job" taking over for Henry Cavill as the titular hero.

"I loved Henry. He was a fantastic Witcher, Geralt, specifically, so I was sad to see him go, but I have watched the newest season, and I think Liam holds up pretty well," Cockle tells GamesRadar+ at the Golden Joystick Awards. "He's different. He's made it his own character, and that's what he should have done as an actor, and I think he's done a fantastic job. So I'm looking forward to seeing Season Five eventually, and seeing where it goes."
