The origin of The Witcher is a whole world and you need help to understand it. So I’m playing a central role in helping people understand where this origin story comes from. That’s why I wanted to do it. It’s because the character is so beautiful and weird. And it doesn’t look like anything I’ve done before.

First of all, he really has to keep you engaged, pull you into the story and introduce you to all these people… but they are very, very different characters. I voiced a lot. I like it. And I think, since I’m also a singer, it’s very convenient.
