Vikings potrait 2 Floki / Gustaf Skarsgård

Floki

http://www.history.com/shows/vikings/cast


Floki is named after trickster god Loki by joke because Michael Hirst the writer liked it that way. But he is also named after the fantastic navigator and boat builder Flóki Vilgerðarson. 

In the first season we see how Floki is introduced to us and young Bjorn the son of Ragnar. We see how he develop boats and how he choose wood. He is also the healer of Ragnar during that season. 

We will see him in that knowledge again in season 2 but also he plays a betray game with King Horik and Ragnar. He starts to disguise Ragnar after a while and starts his play of betray we thought he would do that on Ragnar but it was a fouls play between the two friends. http://vikings.wikia.com/wiki/Floki

The real Flóki Vilgerðarson found Iceland as first Norsemen. His navigation was found with ravens. When the raven didn't return there was land ahead. He also went to the Shetland and Faroe Islands.     

Loki is the trickster god in mythology. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loki

Gustaf Skarsgård

Is more a director then actor that is what he thinks of himself. In my opinion he is good at both. He is the more experimental one of the Skarsgård family almost every family member is actor. He has grew up with acting. He is more known in Sweden where he did plays like Hamlet. Lots of TV productions and shorts but after his part in Vikings and Kon-Tiki he is also known over the world.
