We now know who’s been cast as Eric’s mama and the winner was Annica Bejhed. We don’t know much about the character but this little tidbit:
ASTRID: In her 30’s, warm, a Swedish Viking queen with a new baby, she is Eric’s mother, seen in a flashback to 900 AD…Actress must speak some Swedish. GUEST STAR
She’ll appear in the 5th episode “Trouble” along with Eric’s daddy, Ulfick, played by Hans Tester.
Episode synopsis now available for episodes 4, 5 & 6; 1 name change + more!
Lil Mirkk
Although I don’t recall a casting call going out, IMDb has Lil Mirkk listed as Trey for 4 Season 3 episodes (“It Hurts Me Too,” “9 Crimes,” “Trouble,” and the currently untitled 3.11).
A last name for the character is not listed, so I’m not sure if this is Trey Dawson, who appeared in the later books, or if he’s some other character who happens to have the same first name.
He doesn’t look how I pictured Trey, but then again, they never ask for my opinion on these things.
UPDATE: Lil Mirkk’s people have been kind enough to let us know that he’s NOT playing Trey Dawson. He’ll be another character who happens to have the same first name. Thank you to them for the clarification.
Eric Northman’s father, Ulfrick, has been cast and it’s not Alexander Skarsgard’s dad. It’s gonna be………..Hans Tester. He’ll make his debut in episode 5 “Trouble”. Below is the casting call description:
