Personal Quote:
What I find interesting about a character like The Swede [in 'Hell on Wheels'] is that the menace is there because we assume he is capable of anything. Do we actually see him do anything? Rarely. But the more humane I play these characters, the more kind, the more generous, the more menacing they seem.Trivia:
Such a big fan of KISS (Ace Frehley in particular), Heyerdahl incorporated Frehley's Starman makeup as a tattoo of his character "Todd" in Stargate Atlantis. See more »Star Sign:
