ISTANBUL
Turkish actor Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ will be a guest actor in the Irish-Canadian historical drama “Vikings,” daily Miliyet has reported. Tatlıtuğ will go to the U.S. next month to shoot scenes. The actor, who will take acting classes and improve his English in Hollywood, is said to be continuing talks for the continuation of his role in the drama. It is reported that Tatlıtuğ’s French producer friend helped him to take the role.
Tatlıtuğ recently acted in the Turkish TV series “Kurt Seyit and Şura” but production was removed from broadcasting. He is especially well-known in the Arab world and is called the Brad Pitt of the Middle East.
“Vikings” is inspired by the sagas of Viking Ragnar Lothbrok, one of the best-known mythological Norse heroes and notorious as the scourge of England and France. It portrays Ragnar as a former farmer who rises to fame by successful raids into England with the support of his family and fellow warriors.
