The Cast of BBC's "The Last Kingdom" Talk Series Two

[@DragonBornGirl50]

David literally looks like kings from those times on paintings. His face is bloody spot on. So well cast.

[@nauniwhitewave-runningmout4526]

Agreed 100% they made a great choice with him as Alfred!!

[@jennifercannon2228]

I like his mannerisms, well acted.

[@zel3888]

David is a seriously talented actor .... the way he portrays Alfred is stunning. The whole cast has some serious talent to be honest but he stands out with that performance. Not sure how season 4 will go now....

[@EatLasers999]

Season 4 was fucking amaziiiiing

[@marysclassroom9430]

Yes, the depth he brought to the show was wonderful

[@gringopablo]

David Dawson made me cry in Season 3, man! Such a great job!!!

[@k_a_y_l_e_e]

he is a stunningly talented actor.

[@samanthafitzgerel4460]

Yes. Season 3 episode 9. Makes me cry every time I watch it. This show was criminally underrated.

[@ConstanzeWeber]

I’ve seen a couple of interviews with Millie Brady and David Dawson and I love the fact that he always seems to bring up how crucial the historical Æthelflæd is to English history with an almost paternal pride. Adorable!

[@Iheartmusicvids87]

Yes 🥰

[@herkyj]

In the show I cannot stand Eliza buttersworth’s character on the show but she seems like a really nice lady

[@golampi7881]

Herky J 8 id smash

[@golampi7881]

Prithu yes your mom too

[@jiricevela3822]

Bloody hell exactly. I am literally frustrated the moment she enters the scene, but in real life she is pretty cool and gorgeous! And Millie is even more beautiful irl...

[@zangetsuee]

That speaks for her talent

[@m_zero3009]

Grown on me now

[@sharonanne6293]

David Dawson is just simply gorgeous. I just wanna hug him so hard x

[@belle3744]

omg Eliza and millie are absolutely gorgeous

[@drepop803]

Belle374 they're gorgeous on the show. Millie is so naturally pretty on the show and eliza is a cutie.

[@abc4781]

Yeah Eliza thick as fuck. I hate her character tho.

[@LisaEve1000]

The candid conversation really shows what outstanding actors they are.

[@Canuckmom128]

I think of all the Cast, Eliza surprises me the most. They do a great job aging her, and She does an amazing job of playing a more mature woman. Even her face shape seems a little different as her character. I LOVED this series, from start to finish. Great writing, fabulous Cast, amazing costuming, sets and shooting locations, and Alexander Dreymon is SUPERB as Uhtred.

[@Iheartmusicvids87]

Well said! Agree 100% 👏🏼

[@hijlaa]

The whole cast did a terrific job

[@terehash2841]

Does Alexander Draymond wear wigs or hair extensions

[@moumitamahato2840]

Yes

[@loganlion6314]

Definitely didn’t think Eliza is only 25 and was only 22 when she was cast as Aelswith. She’s so pretty too. I despise her character 😂 but she seems so pleasant herself which makes me realize she’s a great actress. They also did an awesome job at making her look old enough to be Milly’s mom. I’m glad she does not wear her braids braided together too

[@Iheartmusicvids87]

So true, she is the complete opposite of her character, which shows her talent. There’s actually a really funny interview with Eliza, Alex and Mark talking about that hairstyle. It’s hilarious the way she tells the story. Here’s the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHjckJJ4edmJg6c

[@samanthafitzgerel4460]

Best series ever!!! David truly brought King Alfred alive, he did an amazing job!!! All of the actors are superb.

[@alg4633]

I'm gobsmacked with Eliza; Such an amazing personality from the portrayal of such a stern and sardonic character. I'm in love!!!!

[@amarojas9828]

My God!!!! What a great talent David has!!!!! A wonderful actor

[@kevgh3869]

David and Eliza together in the show push the boundaries of acting. Incredible.

[@k_a_y_l_e_e]

they play off of one another perfectly. their chemistry is perfect, to the point that they make me forget i'm watching a show. david, especially, completely embodies the role of alfred and fleshes it out with expert precision.

[@gracepazski2377]

Last kingdom is very under rated you can see the amount of hard work that goes on behind the scenes on KZbin

[@MelanieRful]

David deserves an award for playing Alfred. It was bone chilling

[@Chgdakini]

Such great acting in The Last Kingdom! You all are amazing! Just finished Season 4. Well done all!!!

[@TvojaMAMA77]

Literally all of my three favorite LK actors. So sad we won't see David's work in the show anymore. 💔😭 But so excited to continue adoring Eliza and Millie!

[@JerryLopezArtist]

Great series and wonderful to highlight such an interesting part of British history. The actors and designers do a superb job of creating an immersive world.

[@Why-wofür]

David Dawson is absolutely amazing. Smart, handsome, modest and damn talented❤️‍🔥

[@MrAxidol]

I got Netflix for the Witchers and saw a bunch of other shows, but TLK is by far my favorite that I have seen. Love the actors and actresses and it's quite difficult for me to see them now in modern times. Brilliant job! My favorite part of the series is the humor. I like laugh at least once per episode. Would love to see more comedy in this genre.

[@samanthafitzgerel4460]

Yes!! The humor was very subtle was so funny. Especially Finan. 😅

[@MrLetmein2011]

I'm loving this series , such good writing and acting . Wonderful to curl up and watch this in this gray lockdown .

[@BStop22]

OMG, the girls are so pretty outside the show! They're pretty on the show, but wow, in this video they blow me away!

[@ivarnjall9554]

theyre beautiful.. and i love their accents so sexy and i didnt realize they were so young

[@debrahanks1964]

Look them up on twitter, they r beautiful, always on there

[@mereteisaksen7698]

The Girls are amacing good actors and very pretty. David is very hansome and a fantastic good actor 💞 💞 💞 💞 💞

[@carloseduardomagni6972]

David and Eliza performed simply great so far. I believe that, along with Ian Hart, they simply nailed it !

[@darleneadamski1191]

I think Eliza Butterworth is the most classy and beautiful of all the women from the Last Kingdom. Love her attitude and the way she carries herself. Simply class.

[@Iheartmusicvids87]

Yes! I was just saying how my sister, mom and I were in love with the gorgeous men but Eliza captured our hearts. She is so sweet, hilarious and down to earth but also confident and sassy. Love her makeup and outfits 🥰

[@zangetsuee]

David is the best incarnation of Alfred seen on Tv to date.

[@TooJubeJM1]

I loved AethelRik. So sad Erik died, but baby Erik will feature in Series 3

[@denisemarcucci2670]

@young boxing since this series is based on english history, Aethelflead stayed as queen of mercia, although there is fictional stuff going on the main characters follow their roles as stated in history. So she would not have married a dane...

[@jennifercannon2228]

Hmmm, I've seen it numerous times, don't recall baby Erik.

[@jennifercannon2228]

Love it! David was great.

[@AiurMedia]

the casting is amazing, how did they find Eliza who has such an adorable personality to be Ealhswith, fantastic acting

[@cindychristie6314]

Great actors, all of them, we have only just started watching!

[@davidbrown5240]

Fantastic show, incredible cast :) Season 5 pleeeeeeaaaaaasssssseeeee!!

[@swamidude2214]

About the women part in this series, my opinion as a man. I think its also great to show that women standing with their men wasn’t just them being oppressed. I feel a lot of extremist feminists seem to want to sketch an image that women were oppressed by the patriarchy or nonsens like that. But women played important parts in history. There is honor in supporting your man. To see a view were a woman and a man can be a strong team together with different roles and respect for eachother is important. Now a days women supporting their man is almost seen as being submissive. While the truth is they certainly had great influence historically. Not as warriors maybe or being the shiny hero like Uthred, but still very important to the story. To many shows or movies these days focus on women being some insane warrior heros, instead of focusing on the real impact they had. Instead of copying the ‘male’ rolemodel of being a hero and trying to make them equal in that way, I think there is merit to shining some light on how women were hero’s in their own way. Women dont have to be more like men, they have their value of their own and femininity isnt something to be ashamed of. In todays media it sometimes seems to be forgotten that classical feminine traits are valuable of their own. I see so many girls that have them but feel pressured to be more like men. Or well at least that being equal to them is confused with being like them. Which is nonsens. Women are different then men, and Im glad they are. Of course there are exceptions to each rule and its fine if women are more in touch with their masculine side or men with their feminine side. But no need to force equality to the extreme. More women work in the health care sector because they are overall more caring. Why is this bad trait? Men are overall more competitive, but is this always a good trait?

[@swamidude2214]

@Maleficent I do think if we talk about women and men as a group there are some traits that can be assigned to each. I always believe that individuals are more different then sexes, races, cultures or however you want to divide people. That being said being more caring overall is a trait more seen in women. They tend to be over represented in healthcare, education, animalcare etc. In countries were women are free to choose their carreer more seem to go for that then for engineering for example. But thats good, I think freedom to choose what gives you joy is more important then forced equality. Thats why Im not into the whole quota to get 50/50 of each sex. If not enough women or men want to do that job, why try to force it? I believe you should hire the best person for the job. As long as the selection process is equal I dont care if somebody is male or female. Equal chance of opportunity and freedom of choice should be priority over equality of outcome.

[@Iheartmusicvids87]

I like to think myself an intellectual and open minded, but have felt offended when a man expresses opinions about the role of women not being in that role himself. However, I think your comment was on point and well- said. I was having this discussion with my mom, whose of a different generation and we agreed, in the past women were oppressed but today some take it too far and even demasculate or strip men of their roles. There needs to be a balance. Much of being strong and independent is also being humble and knowing when it’s ok to be vulnerable. It’s a compromise- you give and take on both parts. I agree we are very different and that is a good thing because we can learn from one another and balance eachother out. It’s is very much a partnership and there has to be respect. I agree it’s a strength that we play different roles. While I love the warrior persona, I also love the quiet strength and loyalty that a female such as Queen Aelswith possesses as depicted in the show. It’s awesome to see that more and more evidence with regard to the impact women have had on history is emerging. Love that the show repesents all types of women. I think of Uhtred’s first two relationships: Brida the warrior and his Saxon Christian wife, who was just as dignified because she stood for her beliefs. Then, you have Lady Aethelfred who’s a combination of both. I agree it doesn’t have to be one or the other and we can still maintain a sense of feminity- which is a different kind of strength in itself. I also like how you noted some women are more masculine and some men more feminine, which is valuable and may even be necessary. This is by far one of my favorite series because it explores all these dynamics. Thanks for such a thoughtful provoking comment 🙏🏼

[@Iheartmusicvids87]

@Martina Yes, it is an over generalization and I have meet some vile women. I have a twin sister and was raised primarily by my mom and grandmother who modeled and instilled in me the value of female relationships, which is why I never understood how women could be so cruel to eachother- especially given all the other obstacles presented to us by society. In college, I actually found my self with more male friends and surprised to learn how more open minded and less judgmental guys can be. With that said, as an educator I see it all the time- we have very few male teachers and service providers in my school- maybe like 11 or 12 within a staff of almost 100. They just don’t stick around because although they are good teachers and great with kids, they all say the same: the stress and politics are not worth it. They could be getting paid much more doing much less. I’ve seen male teachers leave mid year, where a femal teacher wouldn’t because it would break her heart to leave the kids without closure. Not to say that many women, are not leaving the profession - given all the new opportunities but statistically these are facts at least in the education field.

[@margaretaddinsell5300]

My older sister, my little sister and I have just watched the last chapter of the second season of this amazing series and we certainly argued at the end which of the two TV series is better or impacted us the most, "Vikings", or "The Last Kingdom." Independently of acting talent and abilities --no one of us is a motion pictures pundit--, Uthred's considerations and motives more than his imposing presence impressed us a lot better than Ragnar's (main character of the 3 first Viking's installments) unrequited violence. I first saw David Dawson playing a sneaky journalist in Ripper Street. IMO King Alfred is a high jump forward in his acting career. The historical Alfred was a short man skinny and prematurely aged due to his stomach ulcer.

[@phoenixrose1192]

He was described as being tall, historically, but still thin due to living with Crohn’s disease.

[@Airik1111bibles]

Love this show , this cast is one of the best they have good chemistry. Although this interview was slightly awkward, I feel bad for interviewers that's tough with 3 peeps.

Peaky Blinders is listed on his IMDB portfolio so probably

Deus Vult He was on Peaky Blinders. The secretary of the bad guy. He wore glasses and a hat.

He played Billy Kimber's accountant. He had no beard and wore a suit :-) But his character also had intelligence and cunning in common with Alfred.

I have found the connection. Between me my my family lineage and Alfred the great! Alfred the great . Æthelwulf, and Egbert of Wessex. The first king of England ! Through Alfred the greats his first daughter. Æthelflæd. it is a connection without which I would not be here! in 902 A.D. Ingimund and he's Viking wives and people were thrown out of Dublin Ireland. they settled in the Wirral and west Lancashire with permission from Æthelflæd. the first daughter of Alexander the great . without this permission I would not be here as I have 54% of these Ingimund Vikings genes in me. if it wasn't for Æthelflæd I would not be here and if it wasn't for Alfred the great she would not be here. Destiny is everything ! .

[@TvojaMAMA77]

He is a very complex character. Like David said, they both love each other but don't show it. You need to get past the hypocrisy and look deeper into Alfred and his actions. You can see he cares for Uhtred. But I guess kingship, greater good and not wanting to seem weak to enemies nor allies, he chose to not approve it publicly. I love their relationship lol.

He was clever,but he likes Uhtred.

I believe it means "sons of the seax". A 'seax' was a type of long knife, which Uhtred carries as a sidearm.

[@thomfont8594]

@@MikeYow Dear Mike, as I am not a classical philologist I cant explain the scientific derivation of the word. But it is common word to derive the "saxons " from Isaacs sons as there ar further more assumptions alike "Yoga", a seemengly word from sanscrit but actually it is a "german" word (too) - because - the 2 roots of yoga consist of: yo - and - ga. The first is related to the german "Joch" (english: "yoke", meaning - linked to something. The sc. "ga" is seemingly the same english and german: ga - godly. So You see what is arising and its meaning is far .. from just some "wellness" here u find to the origins of language which is revealing other sides than ment by told history (note: there are futher more cultural coincidences hinting the fact).. reg.
