Speaking to Insider at the season three premiere of The Witcher, Graham opened up about it all.

“It is strange that I seem to spend a great deal of my career now just riding around on horseback, wearing cloaks, carrying candles, armed with a sword,” he joked on the red carpet.

He then added that all three roles are “very different in lots of ways, but what the fantasy world allows you is a sort of latitude that you don’t get in some other genre. So, if I was sat behind a desk as Dijkstra with a cellphone, it wouldn’t be as interesting.”

“I am a big fan of that genre so the opportunity to perform in it has been absolutely fantastic,” Graham added. “That’s what I want to do, so it’s been very fortuitous. So I started with The Hobbit, I suppose, and I’ve never worn a suit since.”

You can catch Graham in season three of The Witcher, streaming now on Netflix. Part two of the season will debut on July 27.
