What a superb interpretation of Vesemir he could be, drawing on experiences with other fantasy and sci-fi shows like Stargate, and Lord of Elves.
Quite whether Netflix could land him, though, is another matter.
Out of any of the actors we’ve listed, Bernard Hill has to look the most similar to Vesemir’s design in the video games that our readers are likely most familiar.
Vesemir wouldn’t be that, of course, but we’re certain he’d do a superb job.
Overall we were pretty pleased with how the TV adaptation turned out.
