The actor also chats about popping up in Downhill after starring in the Swedish original, Force Majuere.
For Hivju, 41, it was a no- brainer.
It was like, Ill do anything.

I enjoyed playing with Julia and Will a lot.
What I also really enjoyed was to watch them play a more dramatic side of their talent.
I know that both of them have done that before, but its not often you see that.

Of course, even with the new gig, he cant escape his last one.
Hivju notes that theThronescasts gathering at the SAG Awards in January served as their unofficial goodbye.
It hadnt felt like its over, he says.
But this felt like the last last thing.
I gave everything to Tormund.
He started out as an antagonist on the show and he ended up as a big bear.
Tormund is pretty heartbroken himself, so maybe they can bond over that.
Thats something Jon Snow knows well.
