Female Speaker: If you hair is longer is all yours or what?
Travis Fimmel: No.
It's extensions for sure.
Yes.
Female Speaker: Very nice.
Travis Fimmel: Sitting in the chair for knowing your hair is getting [inaudible 0:00:12].
I cried like a girl too.
I don't know how you do that stuff.
Clive Standen: It's very funny when George has had his first year of hair extensions
as well and he's gonna stay whole year behind us all and still complaining.
I got bad day and I can't put my head on my pillow and you can feel the beads.
We've get rid of that last year.
Female Speaker: Its amazing isn't it.
What can you tell us Rollo?
Clive Standen: Rollo?
What you wanna know?
Female Speaker: Everything.
Travis Fimmel: It's easy.
Clive Standen: Rollo is Ragnar's -like I said in there it's -the only way I can describe
it is they're both made from the same mold but they are so different.
Female Speaker: Okay.
Clive Standen: You know it can't be [inaudible 0:00:52] without him and the brothers have
been struggling all through the first series and their personalities are so different.
It is peculiar.
It is unpredictable.
The brothers already ground in and he says okay.
He is ready to explode anytime and get ahead in this.
This two meets up to work out in the ways only in the way they comes to the point where
they can only work it out in the battlefield.
What you're gonna see in season 2 is gonna be devastating for certain people and certain
people might not come out alive because of the actions that Rollo takes.
So you know it's whether he chooses to redeem himself or whether you know makes his burden
[inaudible 0:01:30]

Clive Standen: It's a big thing in the Viking to feel like they're not living in someone's
shadow and so that's what you're missing out in the fame.
The fame and fortune and your position in the society is a big thing to Vikings.
Just set out to be equal in Rollo's eyes anyway is not necessarily the way Ragnar sees but
in Rollo's eyes he feels like he has been [inaudible 0:01:57] that he has done everything
with Ragnar and they should both get rewards but when they get off the boat first time
whenever they're singing his brother's name Ragnar!
Ragnar!
It gets to him and I think he stays strong.
He does love his brother and he is being through so much and he is - everything off to him
by Earl Haraldson and Jarl Borg I think is a little bit clever and he is a different
type of person that knows what's used to him.
He is manipulative and has exploited his weakness so you know it feels like you can't live in
his shadow any longer.
Overlapping voices.
Clive Standen: See there is the question which is the spoiler question but you're not get
anything from me because you think you wants to know but I know you don't.
No one wants to know it.
Watch it and they're gonna be short.
That's all I can say.
Male Speaker: So when you guys get the scripts do your wait for your character to get a round
up on the other one?
Where you said like Rollo can take down Ragnar.
Clive Standen: No I feel alright.
I get really excited about our relationship with [inaudible 0:02:55].
What's nice about me and Travis is we both have brothers.
We both confront it from different ways and I really enjoyed throwing them.
[Inaudible 0:03:05] It's exciting.
Travis Fimmel: I don't wanna fight.
Ragnar doesn't wanna fight in many ways and he's scared he'll lose.
Clive Standen: And that's the thing is that Rollo might not be as clever as a general
per se as Rargnar but he is at all submitted in the don't really wanna fight instinct so
it's considered battle of - it's the battle of brawling and wits and one guy has got the
upper hand in one side and the other guy is on the other so.
Female Speaker: [Inaudible 0:03:34 to0:03:39]
Travis Fimmel: Well in season 2 at the end we lost about young men with the plague and
that.
So he takes a bit of time to rebuild armies and lots of those stuff and yeah but his goal
is to go west, you know.
He wants to provide for his society you know what I mean.
He wants a better life for everybody you know for his community.
He won't stop trying to improve their life so.
Clive Standen: It's an interesting place for a moment with the script because I'm starting
to see parallels to -because the Vikings aren't super heroes.
They - when they go on raid -every time they go on a raid they bring less men home you
know there's a generation of men especially after the plague that is missing and it reminds
me of war to Vietnam when there's a certain generation of men which is lost and women
and children and old man left, how you rebuild society and how you rebuild it to stay strong.
It needs people rather than traveling western and exploring.
It's a really interesting place from the writers from script so [inaudible 0:04:41].
Female Speaker: [Inaudible 0:04:50 to 0:05:11]
Clive Standen: You'll see this season.
Overlapping voices.
Travis Fimmel: It's conflict from the first scene.
The setting and it shows it as full of conflict all the time you know and later on my boy
will understand that Ragnar really wants a legacy you know and he didn't have any more
children with Lagertha.
You know they've been trying and then Lagertha has a sign from the gods that when she have
the miscarriage and he wants to have more children and having team work for that.
That is in the history book so he's gotta you know what I mean.
We're gonna came in to the history he had a couple of wives and had lots of children
went on and they did even better things than he did but he has kids greater than the other
kids [inaudible 0:05:57] and he is great and that and so he did the work.
Overlapping voices.
Clive Standen: I just finish two episodes.
We're gonna be starting episode 3 when we get back.
Overlapping voices.
Travis Fimmel: I don't know.
To me I'm not sure.
Marriage -the truth is it seems like such a crucial thing.
I'm not sure if they actually got married.
[Inaudible 0:06:30].
Do Vikings get married?
Clive Standen: Yeah.
Travis Fimmel: Yeah.
Clive Standen: Vikings invented the honeymoon.
Travis Fimmel: Did they?
Clive Standen: Yeah.
Honey moon.
Travis Fimmel: I will spend my honeymoon with that chick.
Really?
Honeymoon.
Clive Standen: The honey mead is the drink and they at drink up the moons in the changing
of the moons so that it will increase fertility.
Travis Fimmel: That's got not nothing to do with the sex scene?
Clive Standen: Yeah.
Here's to fertility to they're all yeah.
Travis Fimmel: Oh!
Fertility.
Female Speaker: That's how you make light effects.
Travis Fimmel: No that's the exactly - that was my you know.
Honeymoon.
Overlapping voices.
Travis Fimmel: They're gonna try to do everything they can to work it out you know but there's
a lot of issues between them and there's gonna be a lot of conflict in the whole season so
you know.
You'll never know if we're together or not together or you know if she kills me or.
Yeah.
Clive Standen: See this guy is in every scene and for the last week he has -he's been in
the first and the last to leave when he we get back tomorrow.
He is the first and the last to leave to give it to the man.
He has had a big day.
Travis Fimmel: Thank you.
Female Speaker: [Inaudible 0:08:00]
Travis Fimmel: It's on the script.
Clive Standen: I think as an actor you know it's the way it should be.
You should be kind of given the scripts as you go along.
You're job is just to facilitate what the writer is writing otherwise you have just
get to big for their boots and they stuck on Rollo.
This is meant to happen and it is kind of nice not knowing and it gonna be nice to not
knowing and it's gonna be nice to able to make that decisions as they come just like
life.
You know choices and they say all right I'm going this direction now and it's gonna be
quite exiting to get each script on you but to end he saves the day.
Female Speaker: [Inaudible 0:08:42]
Clive Standen: Yeah when the teaser that is just down there - that battle souvenir yeah.
There's 60 and some guys on each side and then just it's just days to three days to
shoot you know they're out there all day.
The stunt guys work so hard and we're really lucky to have the best of the best.
[Inaudible 0:09:01] and it's all down to Franklin Harrison, Richard [inaudible 0:09:03].
They've worked massive movies with [inaudible 0:09:08] and Troy and now bringing all of
that knowledge and skill into our show so [inaudible 0:09:17] at some show you get rid
of the sword or even the people do know how to shoot the battles that got the Vikings
and they got a camera behind the shield wall.
It's not just about fighting.
It's about seeing the white to someone's eyes, the fear in there eyes and getting right down
there and just saying that someone get the whole battle and your arm getting varicated
right in front of you rather than just shake your camera and then to send to send body
parts across the land.
