TORONTO — Valter Skarsgard knew Borje Salming was a big deal. The Swedish actor, tabbed to play Salming in a retelling of the late Hall of Fame defenceman's life, had heard plenty of stories about his countryman.
The Swedish actor, tabbed to play Salming in a retelling of the late Hall of Fame defenceman's life, had heard plenty of stories about his countryman.
"Still blows my mind," Skarsgard said in an interview with The Canadian Press from Stockholm."Still hear stories and hear people talk about how much he meant . And I'm like, 'Oh, I still haven't understood it yet.'The six-episode series premiering Sunday — available exclusively in Canada on European streaming service Viaplay at Viaplay.com — stars Skarsgard and a cast that features Vancouver's Jason Priestley as Toronto scout Gerry McNamara.
"That's why Borje became a hockey player — not necessarily to become a star, but to find his brother." "He was a hard-ass hockey player ... but that's what was so surprising about meeting him. He's the most kind and humble guy. Throughout the time I spent with him, he never turned someone down who wanted an autograph or a photo."
