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.

Ed Speleers: Filmography 2010-2023 🎥

Deathless (2010) — John Ray

A Lonely Place to Die (2011) — Ed

“It was certainly a physical experience, definitely. I think from a stunt element, I try to do as much as producer jurisdiction would allow me to do. But you can’t take any credit away from a fantastic stunt team, and Jamie Edgell was a brilliant stunt coordinator. […] Wherever possible I tried to be as hands-on and do as much as Julian [director] wanted me to do.” [x]

The Ride (2011) — Student

Metamorphosis: Titian (2012) — Actaeon

“I was very excited to get involved. I think the initial reaction was to see Luke and Remi [directors] and seeing some of their previous work was what really drew me in at first. And then you start looking at the National Gallery, and then you start realising that Titian is, obviously, a fantastic artist. To be able to recreate one of the great paintings was a fantastic opportunity for me.” [x]

Love Bite (2012) — Jamie

“My mum told me I was always comfortable with nudity as a kid, but I think as I got older I’ve become rather uncomfortable with it. It’s one of those things where the director just comes up to you ‘right, Ed, today you’re naked, and you will be running through the streets of Glasgow’ – ‘alright, okay, let’s do it, yeah fine’. And the cameras are rolling, and whilst they’re rolling you think nothing of it. But it’s when the cameras go off and cut, you suddenly look around and there’s fifteen men in North Face coats with cigarettes and big, burly beards just staring at you, and you think ‘yeah, I’m definitely naked, alright then, wicked’.” [x]

Turncoat (2013) — Nathan Reece

Plastic (2014) — Sam

Downton Abbey (2012-2014) — Jimmy Kent

“It was a very special time working on the show. But the character himself wasn’t at the forefront. When you’re downstairs, and Julian Fellowes, the writer, his emphasis is on the upstairs – that’s the world he knows very well. And the downstairs characters quite often bridge the gap between upstairs and downstairs, but you’re not always front and centre, which is fine. You’re part of an ensemble, part of the process. And actually, there I had to learn how to be a part of an ensemble, or learn how to be a part of the big scene, maybe not having to say a great deal all the time but learning how to be present. Learning how to be on the ball. Learning how to respond to others, whether it be very subtle looks or whether it be just learning how to play a little bit.” [x]

Wolf Hall (2015) — Edward Seymour

Howl (2015) — Joe

Partners in Crime (2015) — Carl Denim

Interview with Ed for BBC’s Saturday Kitchen hosted by James Martin. James: Your character is like a playboy character, would that be right? Ed: I wouldn’t say playboy… James: Rides a motorbike? Ed: He rides a motorbike, yeah… He rides a motorbike. [Audience laughs] James: I know this cause he [Ed] didn’t ride a motorbike. Ed: No, no… I unfortunately couldn’t ride the motorbike. I’m really rock ‘n roll, clearly. It was a beautiful bike as well, a Triumph Tiger. So, I think, at some point, you will see a shot of me riding off on the bike and then it’ll cut to a slightly wider back. [x]

Remainder (2015) — Greg

Alice Through the Looking Glass (2016) — James Harcourt

“Getting to work with some of the people that are involved was a key element, and knowing I was gonna get scenes with Mia Wasikowska was a massive drawcard. I think as a young actor, it’s not just about scripts sometimes, it’s who you might be able to be rubbing shoulders with and in the sense of who you might be able to bounce off with. And also, working with James, it was a real delight to work with James Bobin. I thought he was a wicked director, really in touch with comedy and comedic timing. For me, it was a nice opportunity to get together with some really good people so, it made sense to me to do it.” [x]

Beowulf: Return to the Shieldlands (2016) — Slean

Interviewer: Slean is very angsty and frustrated when we meet him. Do we discover any new layers to him as well? Ed: I hope so. I suppose that depends on how well I play him, really. But I think characters – good characters always have some sort of light and dark anyway, and I don’t think it’s a clear-cut case of him being a bad guy. Yes, he’s angsty, but he’s got a lot to be angry about. [x]

Breathe (2017) — Colin Campbell

The House That Jack Built (2018) — Ed

“It was like being on a stage. There was nothing to worry about. […] We were allowed to do whatever we wanted, and we kind of tore the place apart. You could feel the camera coming in close, you could feel it going wide. It was such a liberating way to work. […] He [von Trier – director] gave me one note: ‘can you get some chewing gum?’ Not because my breath stank by the way, it wasn’t because of that. It was because he just wanted the detail of the chewing gum, he said, ‘try that’. And a mate and I went to go and watch it, because I was curious to see how the whole film had turned out, and he was like ‘mate, you chewing gum, what a great move’, and I was like, ‘yeah, yeah, I thought that’d be good’. [Laughs] No, I did go on to tell him it was Lars von Trier’s idea. But I thought, that tiny detail, I was a small supporting role but to have little ideas like that, they are minute details and behaviour things, I suppose. But it shows someone who’s got great attention to detail to be able to offer that up.” [x]

Zoo/Death Do Us Part (2018) — John

For Love or Money (2019) — Johnny

Outlander (2018-2020) — Stephen Bonnet

“His physicality is immensely important. I looked at a lot of rockstars. Because I think a lot of frontmen and rockstars, don’t quote me, they have sociopathic/psychopathic tendencies. [Laughs] There’s something about a frontman, like Liam Gallagher or Mick Jagger, and all of those… I’m not saying I took directly from them, but I think I did try and play with the notion of Stephen Bonnet being this 18th century rockstar. I mean… I just did. [Laughs] I thought with the piracy thing and everything, but then you intertwine that with the fact he also considers himself a gentleman, that to me just sounds like a modern-day rockstar. That sort of confidence that they exude, that’s where a lot of the swaggering element came from.” [x]

Against the Ice (2022) — Bessel

You (2023) — Rhys Montrose

“The difficulty was how to place myself, mentally, in that state of being tortured. What that would be like, what substitutions I could find and what power of imagination I could use. […] But I think we [Penn Badgley and I] had a really strong respect for one another and what one another was trying to do. And actually, we just trusted each other. So, when you get to a scene like that, it all comes down to trust. And he’s so great to act against – it’s not minimum requirement because that’s lazy and I don’t think that’s true. But if you offer yourself over to someone who is going for it inherently, something is gonna work, something is gonna happen.” [x]

Star Trek: Picard (2023) — Jack Crusher

“I think the time period is one thing, and obviously you have to adapt to that, but I feel that the skillset is still the same. You need to be applying to what’s the script telling me? What’s the character telling me? What am I feeling, what am I thinking? ‘How am I gonna get out of this situation?’ is normally what Jack’s thinking. […] But what I did feel early on in some of those scenes was: I can’t let other people down here. I’m stepping up to the plate with some big heavy hitters who know this inside out and they’re not gonna, even if they’re the nicest people in the world, which they are, they’re not gonna take prisoners or suffer fools gladly. So, you’ve got to match them and you’ve got to surpass that as well, I felt. I relish that because I felt it tuned into Jack as well. So, it was a lovely little way for me to step into something that was like, ‘Okay, come on there, guys. What have you got? I’m gonna bring you this. Let’s see what you guys have got. Let’s have some fun and let’s play.’ And I love that.” [x]

If my fellow Willow fans are looking for something new to watch, you might want to check out Beowulf: Return to the Shieldlands (2016).

There aren't a ton of female characters, but the ones who are there are pretty cool (so far, I'm on ep 2), and if I remember correctly from my first watch in 2016, they get some neat stuff to do.

But the reason I draw your attention is! Joanne Whalley plays Rheda, Hrothgar's widow. She's determined to keep power for herself, so she's pretty wily and great.

It's available on FreeVee in the U.S.

Ellora Torchia in Beowulf; Return to the Shieldlands

[demosthenes-wiggin]

I started watching “Beowulf: Return to the Sheildlands”. It’s a great show so far. I love the story so I drew this picture of what I think a young adult version of Beowulf would look like.

[giffordmayfair]

[morganaofcamelot]

Watching Beowulf: Return to the Shieldlands, so you don't have to.

DISCLAIMER: I'm just poking fun. I'm not really familiar with the saga.

BEST CHARACTER:

Beowulf:RTTS aired on 2016, five good years after the first episode of Game of Thrones, amidst what I would call "fantasy renaissance". The ending result is less than satisfactory on all accounts. The show only aired for one season, and it lost it's relevancy (if it ever had one) quite fast.

Let's hop into episode one (all episodes are available on YouTube)

In the opening scene, Beowulf and his father are galloping away from the Mudborn, until the inevitable moment the horse falls down. The father stands to fight and instructs baby Beowulf to run - the father takes down one of the two Mudborn, but he is knocked out by the other one.

The Mudborn seeks baby Beowulf, who by that time has acquired a Skyforge Steel Axe, and in true Dragonborn fashion jumps off a cliff and plants the axe between the Mudborn's eyes.

Thane Hrothgar of Herot shows up with a bunch of his men and takes young Beowulf with him.

NOTE: THE EPISODE HAS A LOT OF FLASHBACKS. LIKE A LOT. One particular scene is cut in 7 (not accurate, didn't actually counted them) different smaller flashbacks.

Fast forward to adult Beowulf and his new friend Brecca who I will sometimes refer to as Not-Jaskier, because he has the vibes of Jaskier, despite not being a bard. Beowulf is back in Herot, because he has heard Hrothgar is dying. I would describe Herot as the perfect Skyrim setting; a "city" with no walls, not enough houses (and residents subsequently) and barely anything of note other than the Thane's Palace(?)/Longhouse(?)/Hall(?). In other words, it's Riverwood but worse.

Everyone is side eyeing Beowulf. Before they enter Herot, Beowulf says something about having parted badly with Hrothgar, so I understand the looks. Upon arriving at the HALL'S gates he is stopped by the guard and says that he can't enter.

Beowulf replies that this guard was slow 20 years ago, he would be even slower now.

And this is the first wtf moment, barely 10 minutes in the episode. Kieran Bew (adult Beowulf actor) looks about in his mid 30s, early 40s, but considering that everyone has recognized him so far, it means Beowulf left Herot while a fully formed adult. But later in the episode, we learn through the flashbacks that Beowulf was still Baby Beowulf when he was exiled.

Which means, that they exiled a 15 year old and could still recognize him 20 years later. Not to mention that the flashbacks give you the impression that Beowulf was exiled pretty soon after he was brought to Herot. I mean, HOW DO THEY EVEN KNOW/REMEMBER WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE?

Anyway, that's as fucked up as Bran entering Hodor's past self to make him Hodor kind of mumbo jumbo.

I like Elvina, and her relationship with Slean to an extent - they have this star-crossed lovers love story, where Reeta, Slean's mother would never allow him to be with a commoner.

Also Abrecan (Not-Ulfric) is a cool character.

Not-Jaskier is the "I fucked your mom" type and I'm living for it, he's one of the more charismatic dudes in the show.

I have a soft spot for Slean, because Ed Speleers (I'm one of the 10 people to have watched Eragon and enjoyed it, kill me)

I CAN'T, THE FORTIFICATION OF HEROT ENDS BY THE GATES, WAS IT BUILD BY TODD HOWARD?

Elvina being chased by the Mudborn, who is chased by Beowulf, who is chased by Slean, lets us in the know about the twist that's coming later.

BEOWULF AND SLEAN DICK MEASURING CONTEST, I LOVE TO HATE IT.

"I heard giants ate human babies" 😶

Elvina's rescue is the most satisfying scene, because Beowulf gets a little bit tossed around.
