Alex Høgh Andersen initially auditioned for the roles of Ragnar’s sons Ubbe, Hvitserk, and Sigurd, but not Ivar the Boneless. He told Variety, “Something about the way I played the other sons made them ask me to read for Ivar. I didn’t know any of his scenes at all. So, I was sitting there sweating. I’m trying to read the scene and remember it, and half an hour later Jordan [Patrick Smith], who got Ubbe, and I did our scene together, and we nailed it.
