Christopher Heyerdahl on UR

[@MrSeanMDolan]

give this man an award, he can act

[@robertstan298]

Agreed, most actors in HOW can act pretty well, but he's several magnitudes above most of them.

[@OgFoulPlay]

@@robertstan298 HES NOT NORWEGIAN LOL?

[@drock55551]

​@@OgFoulPlayhe's Canadian!

[@danielhightower8318]

his acting is just amazing

[@dion789]

I just came here to find out what his voice really sounds like. :)

[@JCScowling39]

Me too.

[@ngkos17]

Mister Bow-Ha-None

[@azamatdevonaev1772]

Man, he kills me every time when he says it. You just perfectly caught it hah

[@polekat86]

Me too.

[@mikemichaels1509]

I love Sam

[@MouseGuardian]

I am norwegian and I have to say, every time the Swede talks norewgian it is just flawless! It souds a bit "old timer" like if my grandfather speaks norwegian, witch is fitting. I wondered if he was norwegian or american. Great actor, great work! And the accent is just like an old norwegian man speaking english!

[@TheHset]

And when he actually speaks Norwegian in the show, it sounds flawless.

[@AspieMediaBobby]

He`s Norwegian-Canadian.

[@BetrayingLight]

@@TheHset He speaks fluent Norwegian and studied at the University of Oslo.

[@orionion]

I guess there are regional differences because my ex-girlfriend from an island near Stavanger doesn't have the same accent as this guy in the show. Either that, or my ex is intentionally hiding the Norway in her speech.

[@MouseGuardian]

@@orionion Yes, we do have different dialects in different regions and he does NOT sound like anyone from Stavanger, that much is very true. Second, most people try not to speak with an accent I believe;)

[@JoeyP322]

What a great actor !!! Hope his career continues, he deserves it

[@dannycostello3048]

What an incredible actor and performance. Every time he’s on screen I feel so uneasy and I can’t look away. A true star who made hell on wheels all the more

[@kriskross8908]

I am completely fascinated with this guy. Never saw him in anything else before Hell on Wheels, but now I want to see everything's he's been in.

[@Bryanmelin_]

Comes out in true blood as a cameo thoee this is his real show

[@_Dolofonia]

My thoughts exactly

[@MichelLinschoten]

+Kris Kross I seen him on supernatural, as a demon that the winchesters had to torture. The comment of Jensen Ackles speaks for itself. When they were acting, he felt he was completely OUT ACTED by Christopher Heyerdahl. "He was praised by his former Supernatural (2005) co-star, Jensen Ackles, at the LA Supernatural Convention in 2011. Ackles says that during the torture scene of Christopher's character "Alastair", Ackles was thinking "Wow, I'm totally being out-acted here", after that Ackles turns to the audience and asks them "I mean, wasn't he good?" The audience replies with massive applause." I agree tho, i seen most of his work i do hope he will get LOTS more to do after Hell on Wheels. He is a fantastic actor and i think he will not be out of work anytime soon!

[@danieldevito6380]

Kris Kross He was in The Chronicles of Riddick for like 3 minutes... He gets his soul taken...

[@heather197801]

He's great in stargate Atlantis as Todd the wraith

[@nicolelangston4170]

Beautiful man. I came here to hear his real voice lol. Wonderful actor; I'd love to see him in more featured roles. He should be getting Emmys left and right by now, he's that good. ❤

[@TheASSedoTV]

Amazing acting job by Mr. Heyerdahl. The character he created, the depth, the authenticity of his performance... Wow.

[@eliocosmos]

I can’t believe this guy gave me nightmares as a kid. He seems so soft spoken and cool. But his portrayal of Nosferatu on Are You Afraid of the Dark is still chilling and creepy.

[@deondewit3175]

I Just realized now he played 2 characters in Stargate Atlantis Halling the Athosian leader and off course Todd the Wraith. Amazing.

[@rigguyjt]

Awesome actor. Great job Christopher. You are so convincing in your acting and take great passion for your work.

[@bubbledagger]

He seems like such a gentleman. You are the man Christopher!

[@robatsea2009]

It's a tribute to the actor that whenever the Swede isn't in a scene you keep waiting for him to show up - he's the most memorably etched character on a very fine series.

[@BrokTheLoneWolf]

Just watched the 2nd episode of hell on wheels. This character left a huge impression on me. Phenomenal actor.

[@traceysurber5359]

OMG, I would have never recognized him! Oh how I love your weirdness, I can't take my eyes away from this character! Even though it's no longer on, I watch reruns whenever I can!💜

[@patriciacarter1007]

this guy is an awesome actor, liked him since supernatural

[@hollyozioma]

He is an excellent, excellent actor, and the role was just perfect for him. Spot on casting

[@gibby6904]

Hell On Wheels is my favorite western and I love westerns! The entire cast us amazing and I'm going back to find anything they have done! This guy is an incredible actor....so glad he has been discovered...

[@Parasmunt]

He is an amazing character actor, totally blown away by his portrayal of Sam. Totally remember him from Supernatural and True Blood too. We need to see more of those who can really act.

[@northernlad1702]

He is such a great actor, His character was just one of those characters you just love to hate he's very talented.

[@countroshculla]

All hail Christopher Heyerdahl. Awesome guy.

[@carlrodrigues1789]

My favorite character of all time.. he was awesome in Damnation too!

[@thegteam4349]

He played an amazing character in The Swede. Just incredible. So many amazing characters in Hell on Wheels. And, in a completely unrelated noted, the hottie in those boots. Boing!!!!!

[@Suzisueful]

I HATED him! (Thor,) Which means he's a BRILLIANT actor, for sure! Love Christopher! Outstanding talent!!!

[@jamesstrong593]

I was so happy when they finally put him in the noose

[@OgFoulPlay]

I felt bad for him man....

[@OgFoulPlay]

he evil but he got tarred . and feathered... and did u see the shit he went through in war... and then to jump off a bridge and survive... truly evil...but also mystical and felt bad...Def hated when he killed cullens and I guess Durant's woman. and when he killed the holy people ...idk

[@OgFoulPlay]

an evil person for sure. but a product of environment NO DOUBT

[@carymatthews3199]

What a performance The man was amazing great work

[@dakotalively5171]

After watching him as Alastair I had to know what he truly sounded like. He’s such an amazing actor.

[@deepspaceall7]

Yes, quite amazing with his Norwegian accent,. and yes norwegian is my mother tongue, so I should know. I think for most people around it is easier to say Swede/Swedish than Norwegian, it kind of flows more. At least today thats the one of the reason for the mix up,. Anyway,. a very good actor,.

[@tiberiotavares9698]

Christopher Heyerdahl is one of the great Actors of our day. He is either a little crazy or he is one of greatest Actors!

[@muktismom]

Talk about transitioning into character! Christopher is great in this role. I can't imagine anybody else.

[@Nathanaelelliott]

Id imagine an actor would die to get a roll like the one this guy landed with the swede. He literally gets to play many different roles in one show just because the character is the way he is. I remember first seeing him go from the swede to a mormon and my god it was good. Him and Anson are truly incredible actors. Favorite show ever.

[@terjemyhre3123]

He is Norwegian. His father is Thor Heyerdahl's cousin. His father moved to Canada many years ago. Christopher can speak norwegian

[@peterlong3927]

Some people think the Swede is Swedish, he says he's Norwegian but he's really Canadian

[@DK-cy5mt]

With a Norwegian father

[@debbiesmith8248]

Christopher is one of my favourite actors. He’s great. I love how he talks. Firstly knew him as Sam in Van Helsing, both his characters in The Sanctuary. Alister in Supernatural, and Marcus in Twilight. Hell on Wheels is on my to watch list.

[@sami92a1]

He is half Norwegian and half Canadian so you are right

[@KodeLiMe]

Nosferatu on Are You Afraid of the Dark and Marcus from Twilight. This guy is an amazing actor.

[@CerridwynMorgana]

Chris Heyerdahl is awesome with accents. I love the accent he used for John Druitt on Sanctuary.

[@85Aheadstix]

His English accent is SUPERB! had no idea he was Canadian...

[@85Aheadstix]

***** Canadians can do great accents. But Americans suck dick

[@bjradrian239]

+GamerDares wins just try to shut up once in a while and read and then leave!!

[@85Aheadstix]

bjr adrian Nah...

[@mab]

Fluent in french too, loves Montreal culture.

[@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid]

Hands-down the best actor involved in Hell on Wheels. This dude's skills make that whole show. I've never rooted for the bad guy so enthusiastically in my life...

[@bruchland]

He`s in True Blood, too, the Interrogater of the Authority.

[@64fairlane305]

he was one of the best, there were a lot of good acting

[@markdominick3511]

One of THEE greatest characters in ALL TIME!

[@fishingpinky3165]

Never heard of him till Hell on Wheels. What a fabulous actor.

[@Thvndar]

It's 100% accurate, Norwegians have to constantly remind people that they're not Swedish.

[@Gemishell25]

Amazing actor!

[@thecreativeparadise1203]

It's my chief from Peacemaker! ✌

[@bogartleeblues]

LOVE the Swede. He is so creepy. great acting job.

[@lilnip67]

I love, love , loved him on Supernatural as Alistair

[@ext1013]

just began binging...he is so sweet....

[@gasser5001]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow. Never would've thought that WASN'T he accent in HoW....

[@Bryanmelin_]

"Outside those gates I can't guarantee your safety"

[@thrashingmetal]

he is always the swede..

[@thedaybreakboys4334]

aerolift he’s Norwegian

[@kristinadk]

He is literally one of my favourite actors wow. He's so different here LOL

[@completeamateurgolfer]

Accents - really tough to nail them 100%. In the case of this character, I could not tell you if he was Finnish, Norwegian or Swedish, but since I am not as familiar with other accents as say British, American & Canadian, it does not affect my enjoyment of the character that he creates - I can't wait for his scenes, they leave me wanting more! Give this guy an award already!

[@64fairlane305]

he has a strong norwegian accent in how

[@MykeFord950]

Damn i was expecting a Swede German or British accent Dude nailed that role

[@ElPatron42069]

I've only seen this man in Hell on Wheels, and I am convinced he is the greatest actor alive! 🙏

[@sherrifrazier5722]

Love this show binge watching it now

[@lindaclark1406]

Great character actor. Hope to see more of him.

[@yellowdeer7163]

Played the character perfectly. Damn good actor.

[@kalel311superman9]

Rumor has it that Sanctuary could return, i hope so

[@Minzon3]

hehe.. he actually talks very well norwegian too! But I seriously love his norwegian-english accent. It really is spot on. Must have gotten it from his parents.. His fathers cousin Thor Heyerdahl is the excellent example of how a norwegian guy speaks english, with norwegian accent. Just watch Kon Tiki.. it really is spot on.

[@vShoTzZ25]

he was born and raised in canada

[@Danthehorse]

A fine actor and genuine nice guy.

[@WWEMotors]

if anyone should portray Mephisto in the MCU, it must be that versatile man, Christopher Heyerdahl

[@Jyeoi]

Wow i loved his acting as a mute Vampire in Val Helsing... its was phenomenal

[@58landman]

The Swede was one of the best acting jobs I have ever seen. I'm tough but that sob gave me the creeps.

[@miketerry8404]

Such a great show!!!! I'm getting ready to start if from the beginning again!!!

[@kaddylakk2225]

Oscar worthy performance 🏆🎥🔥❤

[@marylynnashworth5864]

Chris is an excellent actor...........................

[@kelticsage]

Very deep villain, very impressed

[@ElPatron42069]

The Swede! What a fucking INCREDIBLE actor! This man is the definition of talent! 🙏

[@fazailcheema2511]

his play as sam in van helsing it was great

[@amacchnl1514]

Good acting job !

[@McGuffy]

Actually, Christopher Heyerdahl is pretty fluent in Norwegian.

[@WutangClan4LiF3]

he is damn good in " The calling "

[@anthonyrincon9731]

Oh man his real voice. Gosh it’s actually comforting to know it was just a role he played. Gosh cuz I hated him

[@attilabiro7015]

Is anyone here for Sam from Van Helsing?

[@Golfshooter]

i actually thought he was scandinavian because he plays a scandinavian vampire in true blood aswel!! he has a scandinavian surname, so that might explain his impeccable accent in Hell on Wheels!

[@veggiechic]

This is the first time I seen him outside of hell on wheels and fuck! He's a great actor!

Thanks to the Gayton Bros for including a Scandinavian character in a Cable TV show. I cannot think of another Scandinavian character since Charles Ingalls' boss at the sawmill in Little House On The Prairie.

[@compuw22c]

'Cmon, Sanctuary Season 5!!!

[@iamamin9765]

Christopher heyerdahl is best actor in hell on wheels, I did believe that he was devil in this serie, I never watched before him in movies and series but he played in Van helsing, I want to watch Van helsing for Christopher 👍👍

[@46reno]

Incredible actor.

[@TheBest-sd2qf]

I'm from Denmark, and I know Norwegian accent..and I thought that he really WAS Norwegian when I saw him the first time. Now I found out he knows nothing about it, and I just wonder..how the hell can he do it? Its so weird hearing him speaking flawless English lol.

[@FrontierInsightsLLC]

THE best character in any tv series or movie. THE best. I hated him from second one. Thor Gundersen will forever be the epitome of evil in a man for me. I love this actor, Chris Heyerdahl!

[@rogermagnusson115]

Great show... Is it really The end? Episode 14 seson 5? Strange end

[@TheLilKarma]

This guy is awesome, and hits the accent spot on.. Im norwegian, i know : p

[@jimhazelwood9264]

Great actor… bravo!!!!

[@HisNeverland]

Wow his Norwegian accent is great!!

[@OPrincessXJasmineO]

This guy is a really good actor

[@gaaralovapolli]

Exactly. Everytime I watched an episode it was in the hopes of getting to see The Swede. The otheer cast members are great but Chris as The Swede is amazing.

[@kalel311superman9]

john Druid on Sanctuary and Sam on Van Helsing

[@manq211]

i like the accent

[@darkentity1000]

He's Norwegian... but no matter. We're all Americans now.

[@sbbinahee]

The Swede is an incredible character.

[@ESPJT]

I thought he was scandinavian! i am, and i was convinced xD

[@msrainerain]

[@prestongreenbay6336]

Van helsing brought me here and he is da man

[@bjradrian239]

This actor can play a very scary guy.

[@KATRACH33]

Where did the Norwegian accent went to? Lol... this guy was really hated all the way from the beginning. .. what a great actor! Love to hear his true way of speaking. ... interesting
