Christopher Heyerdahl


They should get Christopher Heyerdahl in the movie! He's a working actor, and a relative of Thor.

That would have been awesome :D

reply

It would!! But I have to say that Pål Sverre Valheim Hagen worked well. Maybe Christopher would have been a little old to play Thor in his younger days.

reply

Also, the actor does not speak perfect Norwegian. He must have perfected it for the role and to sound convincing as Thor. Thor Heyerdahl is Norwegian. I think Christopher speaks good Norwegian. Yes, i have heard people speak poorer Norwegian than him, but for this kind of role, it must have been perfect.

reply

Oh. It didn't cross my mind that maybe he's not raised in Norway.

reply

He is actually Canadian. According to his trivia here, he is also half Norwegian and half Scottish.

reply

When I spoke to Christopher what norwegian he did speak was actually rather good, but he can't speak just any norwegian. I think it's that he'd be too old to play him that wouldn't have worked.
