In his 25 years, Alexander Ludwig has achieved a lot. Behind him was the role in the acclaimed teenage saga The Hunger Games, which drove the minds of many teenagers around the world. And the role of Ludwig in the popular historical series “Vikings”, which has been broadcast on television for several years, is no less famous. So who is this young and talented guy who conquered not only Hollywood, but also the hearts of people around the world?
Biography
Alexander Ludwig was born in one of the largest cities in Canada - Vancouver. The boy’s father was far from creative, because he devoted himself to work in a media company, but mother Charlene knew firsthand about show business. That's just her career in this area failed to build, so she took up management.
Alexander was the eldest child in the family. The younger sister and twin brothers did not let him get bored. The eldest son always wanted to try himself in the acting field. Since childhood, he was attracted to this mysterious world, hidden behind a blue screen. But Alexander’s mother was categorically against it, so her father had to intervene in the matter. He helped ensure that his son was paid attention to by the producers he came across at work, and he succeeded. In this way, when Alexander was only eight years old, he starred in a toy advertisement. It was the first and most important brick in the foundation of a great future Canadian actor. Filming in advertising helped Alexander begin to develop and soon allowed him to act in small roles in the cinema. Most often, he starred in fantasy films for children.
"The Hunger Games"
Alexander Ludwig has a lot of films in his biography, but his participation in the teenage franchise “The Hunger Games” should be highlighted as a separate column. At the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century, the whole world was “sick” with dystopias, and every young actor wanted to become part of a big project in this genre. Therefore, when the casting was announced, Alexander Ludwig sent the photo to the studio immediately.
He was lucky, and he got the role of the Caton antagonist, despite the fact that initially Alexander wanted to get the role of Pete - the main character. The hero of Alexander dies in the first film, because Ludwig no longer took part in further filming of the franchise. But, despite this, after the release of the film, Alexander finally consolidated his status as a talented young actor. After his role in The Hunger Games, interesting offers from various directors literally rained down on Alexander. But the young actor chose a role in the series, which surprised his fans a lot.
The Vikings
Following his project, Alexander Ludwig chose the historical series “Vikings”. In the series, he plays the role of the son of the main character - Bjorn Zheleznobokova. The show has long been on the first lines of popularity ratings and over the years of broadcasting has gathered an army of fans. The entertainment and scale of this series is amazing, and the choice of Alexander Ludwig becomes clear.
But even being busy on the set of the series, Alexander manages to act in full-length films. The last works in the filmography of the actor were the films “Come with me” and “Last Girls”.
