    I find it so amazing that he managed to get casted as Sigtryggr (and grateful). I would think, ignorantly, that when casting, they'd typically look for someone who has a tough build, deep voice, typical warrior stuffs. The talent must have shone through for them to choose him & indeed he was the BEST for the role. My fave character on the show, finished it months ago but I keep coming back for sigtryggr recaps. Top tier talent. I mean if you put real life him & sigtryggr side by side, the transformation is just crazy man."when we fight, we fight with one heart. To terrify the saxons" I watched the recap so many times that line is stuck in my head 😂 his normal voice here vs that one. Top tier.

    The way he approaches his role shows that he is exactly as thoughtful and smart an actor as his character. Impressive! And his voice is something very special. Great that you got him on! He really is right about you being the voice of the fans, at least my voice. But looking at his character it just wasn't fair that all the skills that made Sigtryggr such a brilliant Danish army commander in season 4 led to his death in season 5.

    This is my 4th time watching this interview with Eysteinn... the first time you see Sigtryggr appear on the show he has a presence like no other. He was definately one of my favourite characters and was so sad to see him die... although couldn't of asked for a more emotional death scene. Eysteinn is such a beautiful quietly spoken guy a sheer joy to hear about his biggest role in his career and can't wait to see him in something else.

      Hopefully he'll do something soon. I looked at his IMDB and nothing since wrapping filming of TLK. Actors from historical fiction shows often go over to fantasy ones and vice versa. It's a shame he's not in House of the Dragon or Wheel of Time or similar especially after a break out role like Sigtryggr.

    One of my two favorite “late to the party” characters… the other being Harry G who plays Athelstan (who you also had a fabulous interview with). Siggy is a very intriguing and likable guy both on the screen and as a person here! He is extremely handsome, of course, but his charisma made him a scene stealer, from day one when he was first introduced.
    I love the way Bernard wrote this character and how he was portrayed on the show. We often got the “violent/ no thinking” Viking, but Sig had great character development; we knew he was different.
    Congrats on another fantastic interview, I enjoy them all so much! Easily my favorite collective cast hands down of any show. Their camaraderie behind the scenes translates to the show and made it so special.
    They all respect the source material and study the intentions of their characters so deeply, how can we not love them all for that? In addition they are all so down to earth you wouldn’t know they star on one of the top shows in the world.
    TLK forever!!!!

    Sigtryggr was my favorite male character of the show no doubt and it's amazing he become one of the most beloved and greatest character in just 10 episodes, i won't ever recover from his death and never forget him . Anyway Eysteinn is a very talented and great actor, he was perfect for the role of sigtryggr, i took few seconds to love him and he owns my whole heart. He and stiorra were the heart and light of season 5 in my opinion, his performance was beyond beautiful, his love story with Stiorra was absolutly tragic,beautiful and powerful and they were perfect together. Hope now Sigtryggr will have his own spin-off or we will have some mention about him and stiorra in the upcoming movie and hope Eysteinn and Ruby will work together again because they truly have an amazing chemistry. Anyway, as I said before, Eysteinn is first of all an amazing great actor and I hope to see him in new movies and projects and wish him all the best for his professional future because he deserves all the best and I know he will do just masterpiece. I am still trying to recover from his touching emotional performance in season 5 and I don't know if I ever will

    First-I love that they have a Jolly Boys’ WhatsApp group chat. Lol. Second, I absolutely loved his portrayal of Sigtrygger. In season 4, he was instantly one of my favorite characters and the chess player analogy was spot on. What I found interesting is that in Season 4, Sigtrygger told King Edward that he was stronger than him because he didn’t have a wife and kids like Edward. But in Season 5, it wasn’t Stiorra that weakened him, but his love for his brother.
    For me, Sigtrygger’s death was the hardest this season because he was such a rich character and he had so much potential as a leader.

    Great interview! Loved Eysteinn in TLk, his final scene was so emotional, it brought me to tears because I feel he had the most noble and honourable death, so well played and so much depth to the character. I literally fell in love with Sigtryggrs character, on screen for such a short time but made such a big impact in my opinion.

    I know "Ace" is a huge fan of the Milwaukee Bucks and I loved the video he and Alexander made for two players of the team.

    If Eys sees this, I actually loved the disheveled haircut the best, but not for the reasons he did. I just think it accentuated his cheekbones and jawline the best 😅
    Anyways, another phenomenal interview from you guys with a ridiculously lovely guest. I enjoyed every moment of it and am actually quite glad that the interview happened after S5 so you could talk about his entire arc.
    I haven't seen many people talk about it but Sigtryggr reminded me instantly of Alfred, the overarching vision he had for the people, the emotional detachment and obviously his high intellect. He always felt to me like the best parts of both Alfred and Uhtred in one ideal package, maybe the result of if they'd had a child together 😂

    Eysteinn's eyes expression changed from scene to scene, which is an indicator of a very good acting.
    I think Sigtryggr is the most interesting character in this show. Definitely, my favorite. I hate the fact that he was killed in 5th season.
    I think this is the main reason why I do not like 5th season and, certainly, will not watch it again. I would like to see Eys again as a Viking or Dane in a different movie or show, as well as in his other roles.
    Also, I was impressed how well Eys was prepared for this interview, the interview is the best so far.

    By the way, you might have seen Sigur Ros (the band he mentions) in Game of Thrones. I don't know if you guys remember that scene but they're the band playing at Joffrey and Margaery's wedding. Joffrey gets annoyed at them, throws a pouch of coins at them and tells them to go away.

  • @everlight369
    @everlight369 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    It’s great for Eys to share that email and let us have a glimpse of casting process! The thing I loved most about Sigtryggr is his curiousity and open-mindedness to learn new ways esp when Stiorra was talking about the outdated idea of the Danes and Anglo-Saxons are twines that can never meet.
    Yeah Eys nailed the complex character like even if he was gentle and soft-spoken and physically isn’t as huge as the other Danes, it was still terrifying to see Sigtryggr holding the kids because you can see he is capable of killing. Yep one step ahead.
    This is what I love about TSC the valuable insights that both us viewers gain about the movie & characters (that makes us rewatch TLK for the bazillionth time) and the actors gain about their own craft. I love the snippets of personal traits, tastes and interests they share too!
    Death - One of the best scenes of being executed in any film. A truly noble death. I don’t think there’s a lot of persons who saw it who didn’t shed a tear. You cannot even resent Sig for putting Uhtred in that position because you understand why Uhtred had to be the one. And Sigtryggr was the one to pull in or push himself into the sword!
    I hope to see Eys’ talents showcased in other films!
    The actor who plays the brother of Sygtriggr would be great to see on TSC. I actually did not know the names of the actors of TLK for a long time (because I skip the intro and the credits when I watch) until I see their names in this channel The video thumbnail title says the actor’s name and I say who? And luckily the title also says “who plays (character name)”🤣
