Christopher Heyerdahl's Quotes

• What I find interesting about a character like The Swede (in Hell on Wheels (2011)) is that the menace is there because we assume he is capable of anything. Do we actually see him do anything? Rarely. But the more humane I play these characters, the more kind, the more generous, the more menacing they seem.
