Christopher Heyerdahl is a Canadian actor.
Christopher’s father is Norwegian. Christopher’s mother is of Scottish descent. One of Christopher’s father’s cousins is Norwegian adventurer and ethnographer Thor Heyerdahl.
When asked whether he is of one half Norwegian and one half Scottish descent, Christopher stated:
Yeah, yeah, yeah. My father emigrated from Norway back in the ’50s. So he’s a Norwegian lad and I still have all sorts of wonderful family in Norway. I went to university in Oslo and learned the language. So I have a rusty, rusty Norwegian that I get to exercise on a regular basis with my dear father. Most of our conversations are in Norwegian. And then when I speak with my family in Norway, it’s almost always in Norwegian as well, so.
