Open Call Auditions for Men & Women 16+ for Vikings in IrelandThe History series, “Vikings” is getting ready to begin filming their fifth season and casting directors are holding auditions for many extra roles to appear in the series. They are looking for men and women of all ethnicities who are ages 16 years old and up. Auditions are being held in Ireland over three days. The show stars Travis Fimmel (Tarzan) and Gustaf Skarsgard.About the Show Vikings transports us to the brutal and mysterious world of Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel), a Viking warrior and farmer who yearns to explore—and raid—the distant shores across the ocean. His ambition puts him at odds with local chieftain Earl Haraldson, who insists on sending his raiders to the impoverished east rather than the uncharted west. When Ragnar teams up with his boat builder friend Floki (Gustaf Skarsgard) to craft a new generation of intrepid ships capable of conquering the rough northern seas, the stage is set for conflict. But for all its warfare and bloodshed, Vikings is also a story of family and brotherhood. As ambition and innovation rattle a civilization, these characters will be put to the test and their way of life will never be the same again”.
