Oddgeir Thune in Beforeigners

Flashes of light appear in the sea, and people from the past emerge in the present; the so-called "beforeigners" struggle to integrate into modern society.

HBO Nordic's first original series from Norway, Beforeigners is about two persons who mysteriously appear in Oslo. They are the first of many from the past to seek refuge in present time. Seven years later the community is transformed.  In the series, Norwegian actor and screenwriter Oddgeir Thune plays Navn Ukjent. (literally: Name Unknown) 


Although the series premiered back in 2019, and many of you have already seen these caps, it did seem a good time to post. The series is debuting new episodes this December on HBO Max, so it's a good time to get caught up on what you missed.  Beforeigners holds the distinction of being the first Norwegian-language series produced by HBO Europe.


Thune was naked several times in the 2019 episodes, and there were no camera or lighting tricks to hide or camouflage his beautiful body.  Thune was trained at the Statens teaterhøgskole,  (Norwegian National Academy of Theatre) and has appeared in numerous film and television productions.  In addition to acting, the multi-faceted  Thune is also a trained radiologist, and before turning to the theatre worked at Rikshospitalet , The Oslo University Hospital.
