... Q: The scene where Cullen pulls The Swede's own gun on him as he's taking a bath is great. Was it awkward to shoot?


Christopher Heyerdahl: "It's actually been a fantasy of mine to get Anson into a hot tub with me, so I was more than happy. [Laughs] You always go into a scene wanting something. I decided that...The Swede's goal was to seduce Cullen Bohannon into the hot tub with him, and in a way he did."

Q: The Swede's has nude scenes in both seasons of Hell on Wheels. How do you feel about that?

Christopher Heyerdahl: "It's kind of funny because, strangely enough, the only time my character is seen naked is in Hell on Wheels. It's always well chosen. In Season 1, The Swede is so meticulous about everything being in its place and wants no trace of the outside world in his caboose that he cleans naked, and that image was incredibly powerful. It made people ask questions..."


Hell on Wheels airs on Sunday at 9/8C on AMC.
