He won praise as Charles Brandon in the Showtime series The Tudors, and later starred as Geralt of Rivia in Netflix's The Witcher.

How Henry Cavill makes his money
Playing Superman gave Cavill his biggest film paydays. Leading a major superhero series brings large salaries, especially over several films, and the role made him famous around the world.
Streaming has been just as important. As the lead of The Witcher, one of Netflix's biggest series, he earned strong per-episode pay. The Enola Holmes films for Netflix added more, and streaming services pay their stars upfront fees.
He has worked in big action films such as Mission: Impossible – Fallout, and he is set to produce and star in a Warhammer series, a project tied to his well-known love of the game. Producing gives him a share in projects beyond his acting fee.
His British stage-trained style and action skills have made him a popular choice for spy and adventure films. He is also known for his passion for gaming and has spoken about it often, which helped connect him with The Witcher, a role he lobbied hard to get. Fans of the books and games welcomed his casting, and that goodwill helped the show become one of Netflix's biggest hits during his time as its lead.
