Sharks' Norris-caliber defenseman Brent Burns recently made an appearance on two episodes of the "Vikings" series on Amazon Prime Video. He plays Skane in the series' sixth season on the 13th and 14th episodes. In the first of the two episodes, Burnzie is presented to the crowd by King Harald, played by Peter Franzen, in an election scene. In the second episode, Burnzie is pictured as an intimidating figure sneaking behind a post. He traveled to Ireland two years ago to be a part of these episodes and spoke in a regional accent when delivering both scenes he was featured in.
Brent Burns stated in an interview that "Vikings" was one of his favorite TV shows, and he had to lobby his way to be a part of that series. He had nothing but positive things to say about his "Vikings" filming experience.
I have never seen those episodes featuring Brent Burns, nor am I all that familiar with the "Vikings" series in general, but I did catch a snippet of one of the scenes he was in. It's pretty cool that he got to appear in one of his favorite TV series and crazy that he received this opportunity, considering he didn't have any acting experience prior to filming on the set of "Vikings."
It's not everyday that one of your favorite athletes randomly appears in a non-sports-related TV series. Overall, Brent Burns guest-starring in "Vikings" is amazing, and he seemed like a great fit for his role in that series.
