One can see
Chris Heyerdahl it seems everywhere these days, even if he's not always recognizable.
Heyerdahl has played a variety of characters both in movies and in television, but he almost never looks the same. Some of his more popular roles include his role of Todd the Wraith on Syfy's
Stargate: Atlantis (where he also played the more recognizable Halling), Marcus in the hugely popular
Twilight film series, his dual roles on
Sanctuary as both Biggie (Bigfoot) and John Druitt. More recently
Heyerdahl has also joined the cast of AMC's
Hell on Wheels as the Swede.
Heyerdahl recently sat down with
Jamie Ruby of SciFi Vision to talk about a variety of his roles...
...
Heyerdahl's dual roles in
Sanctuary are some of fans favorites. The actor enjoys playing both of the very different roles. "T
hey're both great characters. It really depends on how late my night was before whether I prefer Biggie or not. He gets up awfully early in the morning, old Biggie (laughs). Sometimes that's enjoyable and sometimes it's less [than] that."
Many fans were wondering whether Druitt would be back again on
Sanctuary. "
Well, it's hard to say at this stage of the game but the odds are that he's pretty dead. That being said, it is sci-fi. No one ever dies in sci-fi.
"
So it really is completely up to the writers. At this point, as far as Druitt in the future, he is dead as far as I know, but just like Watson (played by Peter Wingfield), we can show stories from different plot time periods, explore different decades in Magnus' life and meet him there..."
