The headline act here is Kristofer Hivju, who played the larger than life Tormund Giantsbane in Game of Thrones. In The Witcher, Hivju plays Nivellen, a cursed aristocrat who lives in a secluded manor. Tormund from Game of Thrones. Meanwhile, Paul Bullion, who plays Billy Kitchen in Peaky Blinders, is Lambert, a witcher who helps train Ciri in the art of combat. Here's the list announced today by Netflix: Yasen Atour as Coen Agnes Bjorn as Vereena Paul Bullion as Lambert Kristofer Hivju as Nivellen Thue Ersted Rasmussen as Eskel Aisha Fabienne Ross as Lydia Mecia Simson as Francesca Recent reports claimed Mark Hamill was offered the part of Vesemir, but he's not on this latest list. But then neither is Geralt of Rivia's mentor, so there's still hope. - Lauren S. Hissrich (@LHissrich) December 25, 2019 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.
