gif pack: GÍSLI ÖRN GARÐARSSON in "Beowulf: Return to the Shieldlands"

At the source link (or here), you'll find #65 gifs of Icelandic actor Gísli Örn Garðarsson (b. 1973) as Breca in the 2016 ITV series Beowulf: Return to the Shieldlands. The gif-making scene has changed a LOT since I last dabbled in it, so I'm behind the times on methods for sourcing footage (among other things), but I recently renewed my interest in the character I intended to use this FC for, so I managed to find a handful of HQ clips on YouTube and threw some gifs together. Might as well share with the rest of Tumblr in case anyone else wanted Gísli in this role. Coloring is psd #1 from @themaesters though I apologize if it looks a little odd in my application of it. I only barely know what I'm doing, okay?

Enjoy and simply don't claim as your own, that's my only rule.

Secrets and scandal abound as spies and aristocrats rub shoulders with poor staff in lavish surroundings.

The show’s first episode aired on Monday, January 2nd, and first reactions are positive, describing it as ‘Downton Abbey in a hotel!‘ – The Guardian. The Halcyon also promises, honest diversity, rather than tokenism!

The Walking Dead (season 7b) – Starring Lennie James (Critical, Get On Up) as Morgan Jones the second half of  season 7 of The Walking Dead will continue to follow the survivors of the world ending zombie apocalypse.

Up until this point, the survivors have lived through conflicts… Disease, hunger, scores of the undead, tragedy, betrayal, and unthinkable loss. Through this, they’ve become formidable. Powerful. Unstoppable. To start Season 7, that power is taken away. They had found safety and stability. They had created a home. They thought the world was theirs. They thought they knew the world. They were wrong. The first half of Season 7 sees the group fractured, broken, bereaved, and picking up the pieces while living under the thumb of oppression. Negan will have successfully brought the survivors under his control, brutally convincing them to live under his rules with a deadly and horrific example of what happens if they don’t.

Other characters are unaware of what’s happened, but have become separated from the group either by incident or choice — they will learn that they can’t escape this new turn of their world, either. This half season is about these characters starting over. The overall theme of the season is beginning again. The world isn’t what they thought it was. It’s bigger and it’s even more dangerous.

Happy Birthday to the actor Tony Curran born 13th December 1969 in Glasgow.

Tony took to acting while still in his teens, he recalls the days in the Scottish Youth Theatre with Gerard Butler. Young Anthony Curran went on to attend the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama before gaining notoriety with a prominent role on the BBC series This Life. He would go on to make a name for himself in movies with a sci-fi/fantasy bent, like The 13th Warrior, Blade II, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Beowulf, of his small screen credits, our old favourite Taggart returns after not appearing on Kenneth Cranham’s CV yesterday!

Curran has made a name for himself in over the Atlantic in a number of US shows which include, Numb3rs, Medium, 24, Sons of Anarchy and Elementary. His most notable appearances over here have been in  the ITV series Ultimate Force, Dr Who, as Vincent van Gogh , and more recently in the  E4/Netflix original series Crazyhead.

Tony appeared in the 2018 Netflix film Outlaw King about Robert the Bruce and the Wars of Scottish Independence, where he played the part of Aonghus Óg of Islay, ( Angus Macdonald) chief of Clann Domhnaill.  Back over in the states he has recently been in Ray Donovan, which is a great series series and few episodes of the CBS show SEAL Team.  He also turned up in the mini series, Your Honor, which also stars the excellent US actor Brian Cranston of Breaking Bad fame, it’s great hearing Scottish accents in US shows, don’t you think?

Tony is another guy I follow on twitter, the guy has a heart of gold, I remember  he tweeted “Me and my lass woke up this morning temperatures dropping compelled to help our homeless, loaded up some blankets pillows clothes, sweaters jackets, I’m sure we all have stuff we can donate, it all helps.” He was then out on the streets handing them out to the homeless, Tony was involved in a  charity weekender with all funds raised going to St Mary’s & St Alphonsus and the great community work they do. He has in the past played charity football matches in Glasgow.

In the past couple of years Tony has been playing Despero in the Super Hero series The Flash, Tony has also appeared in the  US movie,  Two Deaths of Henry Baker where he plays a town Sheriff, this year he appeared in the US crime series The Calling,  the show has some good reviews on IMDB with a 7.1/10 rating, and in an episode of the US show For All Mankind

The good news is Tony is about to hit our screens this month  in a homegrown project. The two part “series”,  Mayflies is set in a Scotland and Manchester in the 80′s Martin Compston co-stars along with new Shetland star Ashley Jensen, it is on BBC1 on December 28th.  The show  is based on a novel by Scottish author Andrew O'Hagan's book of the same name. It tells the story of Jimmy (Compston) and Tully (Curran) who ignite an “unforgettable friendship” defined by music, films and their shared rebellious spirit in a small Scottish town in the 1980s.

On fame Tony commented;

I've been lucky. I don't for a minute take for granted the good fortune I have had. You don't like to get ideas above your station, especially a boy from the south side of Glasgow.
