Goran Visnjic is taking on a fatherly role on Vikings: Valhalla.
The actor has booked a major arc on the Netflix drama as Erik the Red, the legendary Viking father of Leif Eriksson and Freydis, our sister site Deadline reports. The character, who makes his debut in Season 3, is living in exile in Greenland for crimes he committed in Iceland and Norway. (The series was renewed for Seasons 2 and 3 back in March.)
In addition to his series-regular gigs on Timeless and ER, Visnjic most recently appeared on The Boys and This Is Us.
