I'm a happy fangirl

Last night I went to see Krister Henriksson in his one-man play Doktor Glas, which has come to London.  He. Was. Amazing.

As Wallander his acting has always been pretty special, but in person, on the stage, he's really, really impressive.  I so enjoyed this play: it was a lot funnier than I was expecting it to be, and has suspense, drama... everything.  And Krister is awesome in it.  He fully deserved the five-minute ovation at the end, even though he seemed slightly surprised and embarrassed at the adulation coming his way.  He may be one of Sweden's most respected actors, but he's also pretty humble and down to earth.

More about the evening on my Tumblr.

Afterwards I got to meet him by the stage door, along with some of his other fans, mainly Swedish expats.  He spent a while talking and signing autographs, and having his picture taken, and was a real gentleman.  In person, he's lovely, and I'm so glad.  I'm so glad that I got to meet one of my heroes and that he was every bit as awesome as he seems on TV.




Lovely, isn't he? :)
