Because I don’t think anybody expected Vikings to have the global success that it did, they upped it to a 20-episode series, which meant that I was completely plucked out of any other opportunities.
When I signed on to the show, I originally expected it to be a 10-episode cable drama series.
That being said, I’m so grateful for the job; it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life.
But it definitely made it difficult to do anything close to this magnitude, because a role like this requires a lot of time and attention.
