We don't talk about The Witcher on Netflix as much as we used to—the air's gone out of it a little bit, I think, although I hold out hope that Liam Hemsworth's debut in the title role will rejuvenate it—but this is interesting enough to be notable: According to Witcher fan site Redanian Intelligence, actor Jack Myers has been cast in the role of Nilfgaardian count Roderick de Wett.
"Who the hell is Roderick de Wett?" I hear you ask, and fair enough—he's not exactly a major player on The Witcher scene. But he is apparently the first game-exclusive character to appear in the Netflix series, which is based on Andrzej Sapkowski's novels and short stories, and not CD Projekt's game series. There's a possible connection with the books—de Wett shares a name with Nilfgaardian prince Joachim de Wett, suggesting a possible familial connection—but Rod himself was entirely an in-game figure.
