• Records show that his career started in 2004 when he acted in “Legal Criminals.” This movie failed to attract the viewers’ attention, and Johannesson understood that he had to do something big.

• In 2015 when he was back in Iceland, his manager called him and told him that the producers of “Game of Thrones” were interested in casting him. He packed his bags and went to the USA upon hearing this news.
• Luckily he got selected for the role, and in 2016, when “Game of Thrones” was released, it proved to be a banger.
• Fast forward to 2022, he acted in one of the most successful productions like “The Letter for the King,” “Cursed,” “The Innocents,” “The Last Kingdom,” “Bloodshot,” “Where’d You Go, Bernadette,” “The Good Liar” and with Hollywood star Vin Diesel, Johannesson did the film “Bloodshot.”
