Days and Words | I spoke to Iceland's most famous actor about languages @daysandwords | Uploaded December 2021 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
I interviewed Olafur Darri Olafsson, an Icelandic actor who is also quite comfortable in a few languages.
Some of his work includes:
Trapped (Ófærð)
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
The Missing (season 2)
Quarry
Darri recently won an award for his narration of "The Memoirs of Stockholm Sven" by Nathaniel Ian Miller.
The full interview is on my second channel, The Reykjavik Review:

OK if you've reached the end of the description then you really need something to do. TRIVIA:
In Darri's role as the Prime Minister of Iceland in "The Minister", an American actor says that he made a movie there and wants to see changes in Icelandic law. Which actor is this (and what is interesting about the inclusion)?
