The real question is: Is he a fan of the books, games, both? I know Cavill is a gamer; he's spoken of his love for World of Warcraft and Skyrim, (evidently he almost missed the call to be Superman in Man of Steel because he was playing WoW at the time), so if he's just a fan of the games, it doesn't really lend to his taking the role. So I agree, his being a fan means little. But really, it's not just his mismatched looks, it's also his acting chops. Geralt is meant to be very stoic, frequently mentioning being unfeeling as a result of his mutations and life as a witcher. Cavill I don't see as being capable of stoicism, he's too broody boy. When Geralt is meant to be stone faced, Cavill will probably just mope.
