10 Actors Who Should Be In The Witcher TV Series

8. Jeremy Irons As Vesemir

Jeremy Irons is, without a doubt, one of the best villain actors in Hollywood. But he has also proven over the years that he is equally capable of playing morally ambiguous mentor figures. Even if many of these performances are in bad movies (Eragon, Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice), his performances as broken mentor figures are always the highlight. This is why he'd be the perfect choice to play Vesemir in the Witcher TV series.

As the oldest Witcher at Kaer Morhen, Vesemir is a father figure to Geralt and all the other Witchers there. He is also their link to the Witchers' lore and history, which means he has to shoulder a lot of the morally questionable aspects of being a Witcher. Witchers are not knights in shining armor - they are mercenaries who remain relentlessly neutral in every aspect of their work (including human emotions). Who better to portray the senior member of this group than Jeremy Irons?
