What drives your creative passion, and how do you stay inspired?

My passion started 1981 when I was in the Police Force in Iceland. I was also a Secretary General for International Police Association (Iceland Section). I travelled worldwide to meet Police Officers. I was in LA for 7 weeks. There my colleagues were also a Bodyguards for Celebrities. They took me to their homes up in Beverly Hills. I met many Celebrities and they inspired me to join their industry and I told my self after my retirement from the Police I will be in the Film industry which I did and here I am.

Can you share a pivotal moment that shifted your career trajectory?

Yes I sure can. When I started this work as an Actor on of the best Actress inspired me most. I met Sandra Bullock and she invited me to be her Bodyguard along with some others. I worked for her few years and after that I started in the film industry as an actor. I sure love my job today and I always say to my self after “why I didn’t start earlier in this business” 😂🙏. Me and Sandra Bullock have been friends since that time.

How do you handle criticism or negative feedback, and what’s your strategy for self-care?

If I see or feel criticism or negative talk about me I just let it be. I have had many negative talks about me. How I get to be in all these situations like movies internationally. I just tell people to find out how. I work hard to make my goals happen. Every year I put up some goals which I have to reach and it happens.
