While the performances in Netflix’s The Witcher were strong across the board, arguably the clear stand-out was Anya Chalotra’s take on Yennefer of Vengerberg. However, in a recent interview with ComicBook.com, Anya Chalotra has opened up about one of the most challenging aspects of playing this fan-favourite character.
“The most challenging aspect, was like, I’m in my 20s, and I play from the age of 14 to late 70s, I mean, that is the biggest time I’ve ever been on as an actor,” Chalotra says. “But I love it, it’s so exciting to play, I just have to rethink my approach. I mean, I’ve done more plays than I have TV. So, it was a pace at which we work. And the amount of material that we had, and we were shooting consecutive scenes — was a very different process than I’d ever been on before.”
