The heavily bearded Mousesack is played by British actor Adam Levy, who has been racking up on-screen acting credits since 1995, and has often appeared in rather more clean-shaven roles that might make him difficult for "The Witcher" fans to immediately recognize.
"The Witcher" isn't Levy's first old-timey rodeo, though he tends to appear in historical fiction rather than outright fantasy. You can spot him in small parts in projects like the extended edition of Ridley Scott's "Gladiator," HBO's "Rome," and History's "Knightfall." He's also appeared in numerous projects with a more contemporary setting, like the 2014 Nicole Kidman-Colin Firth thriller "Before I Go to Sleep" and Crackle's TV show version of Guy Ritchie's "Snatch."
In an interview with Meaww, Levy described the experience of playing a character who's so close to Henry Cavill's Geralt. "It was a lot of fun working with Henry," he said. "In the way that during the course of the first season, we have these seminal moments together of change or moving direction and I suppose the scenes were fun."
