He is a great addition to the show. Plays Bjorn very well and his fight scenes toward the end of the season were acted with a real physicality. I have only seen him in 'The Hunger Games' and he didn't really get a chance to flex his talent there.
EDIT-- I'm not sure of the future format of the show at this point. Though, I wouldn't be against a Bjorn spinoff. Or a continuation after Ragnar's death.

shareI was expecting to hate his portrayal of Bjorn, but he was really great. It was a pleasant surprise.
shareYes he was an ideal recasting for Bjorn, who becomes a very famous warrior (continuing with his sometimes playing characters who match his last name) and he does a great job of playing a character with heart in a culture where that is often a liability. His interplay with Katheryn Winnick as his mother Lagertha is always excellent.
shareAgreed, he's doing a great job in the role. I first saw him in Race to Witch Mountain when he was just a kid, maybe twelve or thirteen, and wouldn't have expected him in this role. But I'm impressed with him in his Viking role about a half dozen years later.
Do you need a bowman!?
