Headline: "I was so angry that I almost got horns" - I didn't read the article but I believe it has something to do with money. On the other hand she might have actually said this.
"Actress Sverrir Gudnason reveal their theatrical practices [sic]" - Sverrir is a man, and damn good in Wallander (Krister Henriksson not Branagh), he's now at the City Theatre Stockholm.
I love Rolph Lassgards' Wallander though, he had edge - first version, before Krister Henricksson.
Now I'm on the subject of Wallander, (and believe me I could write about the original Swedish TV programme forever), here's a thing: The British version made more story around Kurt Wallanders' father who is very much in Wallanders' life in the books - played by David Warner, who even looks like Povel.
Police officer Ann-Britt, central to the investigation team in the books, is made to shine in the British version, I think the Swedish version could have made more of this character.
But love is this, in Swedish Wallander: Tobias Aspelin playing a priest, Shanti Rooney, Jacob Ericsson popping up to play suspects in a murder case (Ericsson's character did it!), Ola Rapace as Stefan Lindemann, Tomas Haman (not the right name, but close) turning up as a sinister construction manager in one of the most gruesome episodes, magnus roosmann as a 'but of a lark'/rougueish/no nonsense police officer, and much much more (when I remember).
