Recently deceased actor Sveinn Eiðsson, who Hrafn used in several films. At the end of an audition, Hrafn asked
if anyone was left. No one responded and he began to leave. Someone stopped him, saying, "Sveinn is here and I know he wants to take part. Should I get him?" Hrafn hadn't heard of someone named Sveinn and thought
it strange that someone should have to "get" an actor. When Hrafn saw Sveinn, he knew he had found his man, that this was a rare moment when one gets close to art...
Condensed version: "Sveinn's role in Óðal Fedranna took courage and talent and created a stir at the time of its showing, and he became known as the Underwear Man. Perhaps it was his face that made him especially memorable. Cut big and rough, his emotions were visible just under his skin and shown straight onto the screen. In Hrafninn Flýgur, the look in his
eyes after he mistakenly kills a man, made the lines in the script unnecessary."
