About Me
UK-based Norwegian actor, writer and author, Eirik has played roles in film and television, documentaries, video games, ADR and voice over work. He recently starred as Magnus, a prominent character in BBC Radio 4 Limelight’s Wolf Valley, an audio drama produced by the award-winning Almost Tangible.
He is also known for starring in Escape by Howard J. Ford, 22 July by Paul Greengrass, portraying Jeffrey Dahmer in Sky Mix’s The World’s Most Evil Killers, and for his work across a range of Scandinavian and UK productions.

It’s the emotional subtleties and realism that attracts him so to the screen, stage or the recording booth, and this led him to write the script The Border Guide, a £2.5m budget feature film currently in the early production stages.
He loves sci-fi, fantasy and medieval-themed genres, but also modern dramas and action-pumped superhero films. As a writer, he focuses on fantasy adventure, though the script he wrote is WW2 Drama based on the real stories of the Norwegian border guides.
Eirik was born in a small community in Norway in December, 1989. Travel far enough into the fjords beyond Stavanger and you’ll find the farm where he grew, surrounded by lush woods and steep mountain ranges. Though now living by a metropolitan city with twice as many citizens as the whole of Norway, it is the spiritual aspects of his past that he brings to every place he visits, every role he plays, and every person he meets.
