One actor underwent a massive transformation when he took on a completely different role in The Witcher: Blood Origin that he ever played before.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT One actor who appears in The Witcher: Blood Origin is relatively new to the fantasy scene in the world of television, and it's fascinating to see his transformation not only from comedy projects to those in the fantasy genre but also from playing the good guy to portraying the villain. The Netflix miniseries serves as a prequel to The Witcher, and its first season premiered on December 25, 2022.
The cast of The Witcher: Blood Origin included Sophia Brown as Éile, Laurence O'Fuarain as Fjall, Mirren Mack as Merwyn, Lenny Henry as Chief Druid Balor, Jacob Collins-Levy as Eredin, Joey Batey as Jaskier, Zach Wyatt as Syndril, Lizzie Annis as Zacaré, Huw Novelli as Callan "Brother Death," Francesca Mills as Meldof, Amy Murray as Fenrik, Minnie Driver as Seanchai, Michelle Yeoh as Scían, and Dylan Moran as Uthrok One-Nut.
Lenny Henry's Fantasy Genre Transformation Was Wild As mentioned above, Lenny Henry played Chief Druid Balor in The Witcher: Blood Origin, which was a surprising casting choice given his history. Henry, who is also a stand-up comedian, has, for the most part, appeared in comedy projects. However, the actor seems to be dipping his toe in the fantasy genre as of late, including his role as the main villain in the Netflix prequel series.
Henry is not known for his serious roles, but he has had prominent parts in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and The Witcher: Blood Origin in the past year. Since his character, Sadoc Burrows, died in the Amazon Prime Video show, Henry won't reprise his role in the second season. So, the actor has finished playing Balor and Sadoc, but perhaps his venture into fantasy has him craving more.
The Rings Of Power Proved Lenny Henry's Fantasy Future The overall lack of quality in The Witcher: Blood Origin might have contributed to the poor perception of Lenny Henry as a villainous character. However, his portrayal of a lovable Harfoot in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power proved that he should stick to playing the good guy. So, if Henry continues to explore the fantasy genre, he might be better off picking protagonist roles rather than antagonist parts.
