HAPPY MATTHEW PORRETTA INTERVIEW DAY EVERYBODY

I spoke with the immensely talented and charming George Blagden about his role as Athelstan on Vikings.  Vikings premieres Sunday night on History.  You do not want to miss a single episode of this magnificent series.  It was an absolute honor to be able to speak with George and have him share so much about his character and his work on the show with me.  He’s truly a delightful and intelligent man that appreciates and deserves all of the support given to him by his fans.  George shines in this series as Athelstan.  Do not miss the premiere of Vikings.

Having graduated from drama school in 2011, English actor George Blagden has had a momentous beginning to his professional career. He has already appeared in Wrath of the Titans, Tom Hooper's smash hit Les Misérables, and The Philosophers – set to be released in 2013. He also stars as the Anglo-Saxon monk Athelstan in History's new series Vikings. He spoke with Buzzine's Jesse Livingston about impressive and desolate locations, experiencing the ancient past, working with Sir Ian McKellen, the play that inspired his passion for acting, and singing in the new style of movie musical.
