Stefán Karl in a car commercial

There aren’t any footage of this anywhere or photos for that matter but I do know that it happened in 2001, they’re just not any recordings of this that I know of but I did manage to find a forum post talking about said commercial,it’s not much but it’s something.

1. Nissan Almera A

“Icelandic Jim Carrey”…or Stefán Karl Stefánsson goes with his family in a tour around the country.The kid is having ice cream, the lady is applying makeup.He starts driving off at high speeds, He gets out of the Whale Bay tunnel at the same time as he goes inside.But when they came back to the same place as when they started, Stefán looks at the boy, the ice cream is all over his face,he laughs this beautiful laughter .. looks at the woman .. the makeup is covering her whole face.She yells and screams.He runs out of the car and gets into a car trunk and goes back into the car .. presumably to clean the family. - This is a really great advertisement,the main character is Stefán, because he is so funny.

2. Nissan Almera A 

Same ad,…..well almost, with the same actor and the same car. He is cleaning the car, but when he goes into the car, turns up his FM on the bottom, with a lollipop in his mouth and it ends up being really loud. So he almost swallowed the whole lollipop .. But she walks past. He walks outside the car, manually takes it out and looks at her, wondering why she did not come to help him. After a short while, he returns to the car in the same position. - Not as funny as the first but still.

Stefán Karl in Water of Life - Vatn lífs­ins (2001) 

“Stefán Karl Stefánsson is the leading actor, a young actor who has become famous for his talent in comedy in a few years. He likes to make Illuga a laughing temper, but can not interpret his anguish when he is torn. Atli Rafn Sigurðarson is in the role of Sigurður his brother, does not know if he is going to make him a cobblestone sculpture or looking deeper and does not do either. Compared to them, Nanna Kristín Magnúsdóttir and Jón Páll Eyjólfsson are always credible as Ásta and Ingólfur, Illuga’s friends, who alone stand with him when he is hard at the valley, Nanna Kristín is making an incredible experience in his interpretation of the long-haired neglect. The children who played the brothers and Ásta young went very well in their role.”

This is the third work of Benónys, which is set in the stage of a gym, and two have been installed in the City Theater. Everybody works in concert to have won a prize in a drama competition, but Water of Life received a 2nd prize in competition, celebrated by the National Theater’s half century anniversary.

The work will take place on the third of the turn of the century, accompanied by a young ideologist who returns to the Western Cape, based on progress ideas - he thinks. Stefán Karl Stefánsson plays the role of Illuga, but other actors who play a major role are Nanna Kristín Magnúsdóttir, Atli Rafn Sigurðarson, Anna Kristín Arngrímsdóttir and Margrét Guðmundsdóttir.

Stefán Karl in The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekhov

Played the role of Simeon Panteleyitch Ephikhodof from 2000 to 2001

“Simeon Panteleyitch Ephikhodof is a young clerk who works on the estate. He is a comic character, and his nickname is “Twenty-Two Misfortunes” (or “Two and Twenty Hard Knocks,” depending on the translation). His entrances and exits are generally marked by his falling on or off stage. He is infatuated with Dunyasha, but she does not return his interest. At the end of the play, Lopakhin employs him. Ephikhodof is an optimistic figure, because despite the disasters which constantly follow him, he is always relatively happy. He accepts fate as it comes to him, and he deals with it calmly, if not gracefully. He also has an enormous capacity to laugh at himself, and this ability perhaps contributes to his good humor. Perhaps his significance is that we should never take ourselves too seriously: if we do, we will be disappointed, but if we don’t, we can still be content even under adversity.”

Stefán Karl in “Cyrano de Bergerac” from 2001 to 2002

“ Hercule Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac, a cadet (nobleman serving as a soldier) in the French Army, is a brash, strong-willed man of many talents. In addition to being a remarkable duelist, he is a gifted, joyful poet and is also a musician. However, he has an extremely large nose, which causes him to doubt himself. This doubt prevents him from expressing his love for his distant cousin, the beautiful and intellectual Roxane, as he believes that his ugliness would prevent him the “dream of being loved by even an ugly woman.”

From the wiki page of the play

Stefán Karl Stefánsson has recently become one of the most popular actors of the nation. He talks about Cyrano de Bergerac, love and solitude - 29.12.2001

I sit at the painter’s desk on a day many will call the third day of Christmas. waiting for ten minutes, had made me an unnecessary barbecue about the open space of the place. At the end of the day, I am lured by friendly staff. Stefán Karl, however, has not arrived. I sat out in the corner, opera street, and take care of me, order espresso. I’ll shuffle some piles down on a sheet. Stefán Karl has agreed to talk to me about love, the timing appropriate because he played one of the biggest roles in the night when the National Theater premiere Cyrano - a spooky heroic play by Edmund Rostand. He plays Cyrano, the one in love who has a big nose. The doors open and Stefán Karl sets the floor in a well-dressed and fresh fashion; gets a seat.

Regína! Music Album

There was an album released for the Movie “Regína!” that also includes a song that doesn’t appear in the original English movie sung by Stefán Karl called “ Ástarljóð Atla” which roughly translates to “Atla’s Love song”.
