Game of Thrones Tormund to star in The Witcher

It has been rumored for a month that Christopher Heavey, best known for his role as Tormund the Giant Death in "Game of thrones"Will appear in second season "The Witcher". Now the Redanian Intelligence portal toldthat he will play Nivellen - a man who, due to a curse, looks like a half-bear, half-lion.

We learned about this from the deciphering of the list of actors and their roles, which came to the Redanian Intelligence edition. In it, the role of Christopher Heavey is indicated as "Nigel" - this is a codename, but from the description it becomes obvious that it is Nivellen who is hiding under him.

In particular, it is noted that this is a charismatic, witty and funny character. He is from a family of aristocrats and was cursed for the crimes he committed in the past. There is also a note that the role requires high physical fitness and the ability to demonstrate a wide range of emotions.

In the original books, Nivellen appeared in the short story "A Grain of Truth", where he was the main character. In the series, he will appear only in the first episode - which is expected to adapt this very story.
