Stefán Karl in “Independent People” 

On April 1, 2012



The original episode was broadcasted back in 2012 but has re-broadcasted recently on August of 2018, here’s an uploading of the full episode taken from Visir.

It is safe to say that Stefán Karl Stefánsson is an actor that has touched the hearts of the nation in recent years. Stefán Karl passed away on Monday, while the 43-year-old had fought with bile duct cancer for two years.

Stefán Karl Stefánsson was probably the only Icelandic actor who most of the world’s people knew in sight and still recognized. Millions of people across the globe grew up shouting at him through the television screen, so right to let him know that it was about the latest mystery of Robbie Rotten.

Stefán played in numerous Icelandic works and fascinated the nation with his personality over the past two decades.

On April 1, 2012, Stefán Karl was invited to the episode “Sjálfstætt fólk á Stöð 2”, where Jon Ársæll Þórðarson talked to Stefán about life and drama.

Together they went to a visit to the Lazytown headquarters, a visit to the mother of Stefán and interacted with Hafnarfjörður harbor.

Stefán discussed the time in Lazytown and when he landed a big role as the grinch in the musical about how this protagonist The Grinch stole Christmas in a musical that was set up in Los Angeles.

Stefán was bullied during childhood and opened up to Jón Ársæl. Stebbi was a learned pilot and a great deal for aircraft. The bullying formed Stefán Karl and thought he could reduce bullying in society.

“I really like people who find out,” said Stefán, in conversation with Jon, who describes the man Stefán Karl was.

Roughly translated from an article that posted about the re-broadcasting.
