Performer biography

Henry Cavill first gained broad attention in The Tudors before playing Superman in the DC films. He later led The Witcher and appeared in films including The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and Mission: Impossible – Fallout.

Cavill's early credits included historical and British television roles before The Tudors brought him wider notice. Playing Superman took him into major franchise cinema, followed by The Witcher on television. His Green Man appearance is especially interesting as a pre-breakthrough role in a series noted for casting future stars.
