Björn Hlynur Haraldsson

Iceland is home to noisy waterfalls, seething volcanoes and extraordinary people, like the singer Bjork. It was there that the actor Björn Hlinur Haraldsson was born - the performer of the role of Eist Turseach, King of Cintra, in the series "The Witcher", which the whole world has been talking about since December 2019.

Björn Hlinur Haraldsson was born on December 8, 1974 in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. About the early period of his biography, it is only known that the actor graduated from the Icelandic Academy of Drama in 2001.

It should be assumed that the choice of a professional path was quite deliberate - Björn Hlinur Haraldsson was literally burning with theater. Immediately after receiving a diploma of higher education, in August 2001, he and his classmates founded the theater company Vesturport.

One day, Haraldsson and three of his classmates saw a rental announcement on a damp, frozen building. The guys have long dreamed of creating their own studio, so they considered what they saw as a sign. They contacted the owner of the premises and, despite the high rent, entered into an agreement.

In the 2000s, Iceland was engulfed in an economic crisis. Prices rose steadily, including for real estate. The guys could no longer afford to pay $ 180 monthly, but they were not going to give up their dream either. Then Haraldsson suggested expanding the circle of like-minded people.

A month later, Vesturport united more than 15 people - actors, decorators, musicians, cameramen. They shared the cost of heating and electricity for the coffee machine and beer fridge. The unifying force of these young people was the desire for beauty.

There is a space - here is the Vesturport manifesto. Björn Hlinur Haraldsson once explained in an interview with an Icelandic magazine what that means. Each pupil of the studio has the right to do whatever he sees fit. Yes, he can ask his associates for help, but the author bears material and artistic responsibility for the idea.

So, Björn Hlinur Haraldsson got one of the most important roles: he is the director of Vesturport. On the official website of the theater it is indicated that according to his ideas "Jesus Christ - Superstar", "Titus Andronicus" and other plays were staged. The actor also uses his innate talent: Haraldsson still depicts Faust and Romeo on the stage.

Now Vesturport is a popular Icelandic theater with 50 seats, a laureate of the Europe Prize New Theatrical Realities. His repertoire includes more than 40 performances, long known and original. Once Björn Haraldsson noted that he would not exchange his theater for the most frantic film success.

It cannot be said that Björn Hlinur Haraldsson had more than enough opportunities for international glorification: the lion's share of his filmography is made up of local second-rate films.

A hint of popularity emerged in 2015 thanks to the British detective series Fortitude. Haraldsson was given the lead role of police sergeant, and then sheriff Eric Odegard. The actor devoted 3 years to the project.

The Witcher, a Netflix series that premiered in Season 1 in December 2019, gave the Icelandic actor a shot at popularity. His character Eist Turseach is a man, the king of Cintra.

According to the story of the Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski, on whose works the series "The Witcher" is based, Eist Turseach got the opportunity to sit on the throne due to his marriage to the widowed Queen Kalante. Passionate love reigns between the spouses, which in the first episodes confuses and at the same time amuses Cyril, the granddaughter of Calante.

Eist Turseach is nobler than his chosen one. Proof of this is the kindness to Pavetta and Cyril, adopted daughter and granddaughter, condescending attitude towards the Witcher, whom many consider a monster. The King of Cintra believes in destiny, because, according to Netflix showrunners, he became engaged to Calanthe by the right of surprise, in other words, he deftly took advantage of the moment provided by fate.

Eist Turseach's life was cut short in the bloody battle for Cintra in the final episode of the 1st season, and with it, probably, the path of Björn Hlinur Haraldsson in the TV series The Witcher.

Björn Haraldsson is a passive social media user. So, he does not have an official account on Instagram, only a fan blog, which publishes photo shoots, footage from The Witcher and from the Vesturport stage. Haraldsson's only way of communicating with fans is via Twitter, but the actor does not update this page often.

Haraldsson's seclusion does not reveal the details of his personal life. Whether the heart of the Icelandic actor is occupied is anyone's guess.

Haraldsson's height is 190 cm, weight is over 80 kg.

According to the canon of Andrzej Sapkowski, the story of Eist Turseach ends with death at the hands of Nilfgaardian soldiers. In this, Netflix showrunners decided not to rewrite the Witcher story, so Haraldsson's character may have to say goodbye.

According to "Kinopoisk", in 2020 the premiere of the comedy "Eurovision" with Rachel McAdams, Pierce Brosnan and other stars will take place. Björn Haraldsson also joined the caste. In addition, Icelandic films Kill a Poet and Agnes Joy with his participation are being prepared for filming.
