- Joey Batey, the actor who plays the young musician Mark Smeaton in Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies, is learning to play the lute. He let us film one of his lessons with RSC musician and company band member Nick Lee.
Read more about Joey's journey to become Mark Smeaton at his blog on the RSC website: www.rsc.org.uk/...

This is like ordering a pie and finding a feast inside.
Liesmith you don't need a nap
Hah, I see your reference!
"It's an actual instrument and I'm used to bluffing" I swear, this guy is an actual bard.
So this man is basically his character
Perfect Dandelion.
He's part of a band called The Amazing Devil so yeah, he actually is a bard lol the band is AMAZING (no pun intended)!
I'm kind of a bard at a Renaissance festival I work at (I say kind of because I'm not getting payed playing and most people try throwing me out of places) and I'm attempting to weasel my way into the bards guild we have, and yes lmao, pretty much all of us are exactly like this and it's incredible
Dear God, he played lute earlier. He truly IS Jaskier.
I like to imagine when the casting directors for The Witcher saw his audition (with live lute playing), they said "Holy s**t, RSC/West End/Broadway stage credits AND can play the lute? This guy is perfect for the role!"
5 years later...."insert toss a coin meme here".
Toss a coin to my Dad if you see him for me. Its been 20 years since we last saw my father.
Toss a coin to my Son if you see him for me. Its been 20 years since I last saw my son.
@@Reddeth6332 and The Beast , you both apparently are father and son, O_o
That couldn't be AnferBR!
It's really strange that Netflix decided to find an actor who actually can play the instrument, how many shows did they make with actors just imitating playing an instrument. But I'm really glad they did, because I can't imagine anyone other than Joey playing Jaskier, the acting and the singing and hand gestures are amazing 😗👌 !
They didnt go out their way he showed uo to the interview with a lute and played for them they just decided he was best for the role based on all factors after the fact
@@demonic_myst4503 Heloooooo mr buzzkill
@@borislankhuijzen not really a buzz either way i think its more cool that realisticly he showed u for the role with enthusiasm for the charqcter and bards in general and managed to show that to the casting
I heard his agent said something along the lines of ‘you can play the lute right?’ Which would be a big indicator to bring it
"I'm used to bluffing"
Ffs this one's really jaskier
Jero López EXACTLY WHAT I SAID
They didn't bother to cast Jaskier, they just found Jaskier in the wild.
Secretly researching his role 5 years ahead of time!
This guy is gonna go places. Mark my words.
Toss a coin to this man!
and sweet kisses!
which man?
@@Alucard45000 - Joey Batey!
Lmao
He looks so soft and warm and cuddly here 💖😭 I am in loooovveeee!!! Also he is totally Jaskier, there’s really no difference between the two in terms of personality I think
I'm extremely impressed that he learned to play the lute for a role for RSC on stage! I'd love to see video of him auditioning for The Witcher, hopefully be brought his lute to the audition!
Edward Tonai he did! And a costume!
@@JulietteReacts 🥰😍
It's like ordering a pie and finding it has no fillings
he's just lovely. 'toss a coin to your witcher' is so catchy!
He's a perfect fit for jaskier, well done!
Oi! It's Jaskier!!! Hey, dude! This totally lends credence to his lute playing in 'The Witcher'! :)
Joey was Jaskier, before he getting role of Jaskier. XDD
Destiny.
i love to see henry and galls on the interviews but i'd love to see more of Joey. Seems like a great guy and his enermy matches the character which doesn't happen with the others imho
Whoa! I thought this was about him learning the lute for Witcher, but it turns out he learned to play five years before being cast as Jaskier.
everyone here says that Joey is the perfect Jaskier/Dandelion thanks to his "lute skills" and i totally agree. wanna add that for me he's the perfect Jaskier cuz he doesn't even look older after 8 years lmao
Best casting agent ever.
“Coin tossing intensifies”
It was destiny that he would play Jaskier.
I thought this was posted recently. GJ making it so far in only a couple years Bard
This is so cool watching him learn how to play the lute and then now seeing him as Jaskier 👏🏻👏🏻 Toss a coin to Dandelion instead
This actor is extraordinary
Joey is so charming
Why I hear BURN BUTCHER BURN in some chords here😂 Love this song, love Joey with all my heart ❤
Who else kept on expecting him to start playing "Toss a Coin..."
My mother was a big fan of "if you don't pick up an instrument and play, you don't get dinner"
Sounds like an abusive childhood
@@darkdrake13 xD nope
@@darkdrake13 sounds like an asian one.
Sometimes I just look at some people and get the feeling universe put extra care of them. Joey is one of these very few, like, you know, he's gonna do things, go places, and everything's gonna work for him somehow. I really hope my feelings are right and in few years Amazing Devil will become somethng really big, just like his lute skills for playing Jaskier.
The dislikes are all the idiots who didn't toss a coin to their witcher.
Nah, its the elves, thrust far back on the shelf
When a humble bard
Graced a ride along
With Geralt of Rivia
Along came this sooooong...
Unwittingly training to become Dandelion, this was his fate and it could not be denied...
wait a minute... this is 2014... this guy learned to play the lute waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before he could've even heard a rumour about playing yaskier/dandelion xD nice
Now this TH-cam suggestion actually makes sense.
Is that the same lute Jaskier uses...the pattern around the hole looks the same.
5 years ago????!!!
Oh my Jaskier ❤️❤️❤️
His outfit even looks Jaskier style.
Wtf I didn't realised it's from 6 years ago!
Jaskier: How’s my singing?
Geralt: It’s like ordering a pie and finding it has no filling.
Jaskier: 🖕👁👄👁🖕
i think youtube has completed the training the recommendation algorithm
Jaskier!
Thank you TH-cam recommendations 😂❤️
He is SO pretty.
I just noticed the date of this video
Think they just where like: "ok, actor who can play the lute..."?
I kinda have a crush on him.
I highkey have a crush on him
I mean hes super attractive.
The real question is: Who doesn't? :D
Are there any tablatures for the Witcher music?
In Russia Jaskier - "Лютик" (Lutic), ahahahah
Hi, guys
What a video from 2014? Probably related to Witcher series. TH-cam algorithms works.
The best Jaskier ever ❤
Teehee. Look at him now. 😊🎬
TH-cam doesn't recommend this video to you, they recommend you to this video.
como eu amo o algorítimo do youtube. 😍😂😂.
Poor Jaskier was send to future by Ciri without his friend Geralt of Rivia and his muse and beauty the Countess de Stael.
Anyone have a coin ?
2014 holy shit
You could not tell he’s from Newcastle at all
what does he say at 1:21 ?
"There's a piece in particular called 'Past Time', which I think is attributed to Henry VIII (the eighth), but whether he wrote it or not is probably doubtful". That's the whole sentence including the phrase being spoken at 1:21. Hope that helps! =)
Envyi thanks so much! there was a full fledged debate about it, and it was bugging me lol
‘Are you perhaps short a marble?!’
toss a coin to your musician, o valley of plenty
Come on everyone .... Toss a coin ! 👊🏻👌🏻
This just show up in everyone’s recommended too?
(Sees Witcher recommendations)
You're important to me
yuh
Yes
TH-cam works in fantastical ways...
All hail the mighty algorithm
Jaskier!
For the first time ever, the random recommendation algorithm has made sense.
Not random bro, not random! ;)
Just wait until it's self aware and takes control of western society through subtle influences of the videos we watch.
@@HRRRRRDRRRRR Bold of you to assume it already hasn't.
so you're telling me this *isnt* a witcher interview
wait. what. This isn't connected to the show??
@@tobito2013 nope it's for a theater play joey did a few years ago
I know! Look at his facial hair, that's freaking Dandilion right there.
Wait what
Right? I had to do a double take when I saw the upload date of this video
little did he knew he would get his lute robbed and broken by elves
And get kicked on the teeth
Just a humble bard
Graced a ride along
With Geralt of Rivia
along came this song
Wait so he's ACTUALLY a bard?
You should check out his bad "The Amazing Devil"
Perfect casting as Jaskier
It would have been James Franco, but Batey isn't bad tho.
@@mr.dog3472 - James Franco!? I love him but that would've been awefull, just my opinion though
Preston Rutherford He would be too old for Jaskier, Batey is good now i realized it.
@@mr.dog3472 - Hah fair fair
I come from the future just to say he is really good in The Witcher...😏
Oops I thought this was a Witcher interview when I saw the vid
Read the title maybe?
@@eillswim "Learning to play the lute" Yep sounded like the witcher to me.
Read the date x)
@@mecabihabdelkarim4765 Smh you can't read the date on recommended videos.
@Keaton Kent you assume that he has one
I play the violin so I always look at performances of actors playing an instrument to see where they failed. Watching the TV show I was surprised how well they edited it. Now I know why it looks so good in the show. The actor's actually playing it. Holy feck I love him for that.
RIGHT? I was so astounded!!! I only play piano, which is a LOT easier to fake (or to even to just learn a piece or two on), but even just from observation within the musical world, it's so painfully obtrusive when people are miming. You get to the point where you just appreciate that they've put some vague effort into the miming. Then THIS dude comes along and is *actually playing* a freaking *lute*?????
same boat!! I also play violin, and it bothers me when it's obvious the character isn't actually playing 😅 I'm so glad Joey can play!
This guy absolutely nailed Jaskier/Dandelion. The fact that he learned lute just adds to that.
This is from 5 years ago lol
@Sluzzzaa he didn't say the fact that he learned it for the role.
@Sluzzzaa your overthinking this comment my friend.
@Sluzzzaa the commentor probably didn't know that so to him it's a nice surprise that the actor knew how to play lute and not just fake it cause you just get people to put sound over it. So you've taught me something today because I also didn't know he got casted purely for his lute playing skills.
@Sluzzzaa his imbd tells a different story he is an actor not just a lute player so his lute playing must have added to it. 🤔

If only he knew what he would be using those lute skills for in the future....
‘i can play lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of instruments... very badly’ as a music student god same
If this dude only knew back then how he was unknowingly, indirectly prepping to play one of the most iconic characters EVER...
dude, he's already with a lute, he'll make an excellent dandelion.
And he has hmm
TOSS A COIN TO YOUR WITCHER
O VALLEY OF PLENTYYY

Ведьмаку заплатите чеканнооой монееетоооой
O' valley of plenty. Oooohhhh. Toss a coin to your Witcher a friend if humanityyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
*of
They came after me with masterful deceit! broke down my lute and they kicked in my teeth!
while the devils horn minced our tender meat, so cried the witcher he cant be bleat
Oh wait I thought this is about Joey learning to play lute for The Witcher. And then I looked at the date and it’s actually 6 years old! It makes it 100000x cooler knowing Joey actually knew how to play lute even before he auditioned for Jaskier role.
well, if he can actually play the lute then let's toss a coin to this man!
Apparently, he was only cast because he played the lute. Acting was a bonus
Okay I like him as Jaskier, the fact that he can play a lute is pretty convincing lol also he's cute so 🌹
You're doing it, you're falling for Dandelion's charms, sooner rather than later you'll find yourself running around trying to find him and beat him with a shovel.
July B and he was the second best thing in witcher
You called it :)
Almost the best thing and everything and everyone else is already excellent. Total scene stealer and so charismatic and charming. :D
This skill definitely helped him get the role of Jaskier.
Oh, hey, Jaskier!
lol i was confuse because the time of your comment is 1 year ago and you already know that he played jaskier but its just 4 days since last last year lmao.
@@Nonunc huh thanks for the info
HOOWWW
I'm convinced this man is a time traveler
Finally TH-cam recommends a decent 6 year old video.
I believe there's a spike on views and comments for this video since Dec 20
i mean, look at him, he is a perfect cast for Dandelion! give him a hat with a bird feather and he is ready to go on adventures with his lute. and also with Geralt 😜
Dude nailed Jaskier lmao "Are you perhaps short of a marble!?"😂
He's sense of humor actually reminds of Jaskier's :) can't wait to see him in the series!
Aaand he nailed it as Jaskier! Well done!
The Witcher's fandom: "Netflix didn't age up Jaskier! How is it possible he doesn't age?".
Netflix pointing to this video: "Your argument is invalid".
Who ever is reading this never give up on your skills & talents, you never know what you will achieve in the next 5 years :-)
I knew he could actually play the lute from watching the show. He had correct technique.
Toss him a coin for playing so well as dandelion
This video was published in 2014
Five years later all the comments are all about Jaskier
Whaaaaat!? LoL. Excellent point!
@@orisdearborn850 that
Lol he looks more like Dandelion here with the facial hair
He is JUST how I imagined Jaskier!
Like ordering a pie and finding it has double filling
This guy was born to play the Jaskier role
Jaskier
Wow what a nice move
Dandelion!
