Steven Van Zandt explains why his character Frank Tagliano doesn't speak Norwegian in Netflix's Lilyhammer, which is celebrating its 10-year anniversary in 2022.
Steven Van Zandt, the star of Lilyhammer, reveals why his character didn't speak Norwegian. Zandt, who is well known for his portrayal of Silvio Dante on the acclaimed HBO crime show The Sopranos, played former mobster Frank Tagliano in the Netflix series. Created by Anne Bjørnstad and Eilif Skodvin, the show also starred Trond Fausa Aurvåg, Steinar Sagen, Robert Skjærstad, Tommy Karlsen, Fridtjov Såheim, and Marian Saastad Ottesen.
“It was really an experiment, you know. We spent a year writing it, me and the two creators you know, Eilif Skodvin and Anne Bjørnstad. We were like, ‘How much English should there be? Because we have to satisfy a Norwegian audience also’. And it was just an experiment, ‘Well, the premise will be that my character understands Norwegian but doesn’t speak it’.
The show followed Tagliano and his efforts to integrate into a new life in Lillehammer, Norway, after testifying against a new Mafia head in New York. Premiering in 2012, Lilyhammer marked Netflix's first original series, garnering critical praise and smashing the ratings record in Norway with over 998,000 viewers, equalling a fifth of the country's population.
