Baldur gate 3 The actor and performance director of Aliona Baranova questioned why television and film adaptations often skip the talents in the game during a large screen cast.

This is an significant challenge, especially because instead of simply reading the script for the microphone, game performers often provide much more than just their voices when it comes to the revival of games, and some even provide mo-cap and the faces of our favorite characters.

Influence? “Ashley Johnson was the most sought after person on IMDB when a television project appeared.”

“Why is it not happening anymore?” Baranova asked. “Why Doug Cockle was not on the television series, Witch? Why are we not taken into account when there are adaptations of video games? Even animated adaptations, such as Arcane, we would like to be part of them. “

Geralt’s role went to the star of Superman Henry Cavilla, who from now on came out of the series. Cockle did not appear in the series, even in the form of a camera. But he gave Geralt in the recently released movie Netflix The Witcher.

They think:” They just know how to make a video game. ” Studies neglect the video game that are so willingly supported and dedicated and passionate … their favorite actors.
