Definitely my favourite character in the series - mischievous, intelligent and contained badass who doesn't need the slightest display of anger to make sure people do what he wants. Excellent portrayal by Mr Roache.

[raechelyndawn]

He is so handsome and just PERFECT for the role in the Vikings. I LOVE watching Linus do his thing! He's an awesome actor.

[Segimaru]

He's such a cool guy, now I wish to watch more stuff with him. And I'm in love with his voice.

[levibarros]

I'm surprised he had an answer for that last question... I thought it was rather odd. Haha! Linus Roache is such an all-around awesome guy. Huge fan of him.

He is just the cutest and sweetest person I loved him in vikings he was wonderful in law and order

[KroganMechanic]

I like his idea for the game. Let's fundraise it,

[jennaahonen]

He is so hateful yet so lovable character in Vikings. You can see from he's acting that he has long theatre acting experience behind him supporting his good acting.

[boohoo]

love watching linus as the king. he's delightfully corrupt and devious. it's sorta hard to hate him even though his character is so horrible on the show. can't wait to watch more of him in the new season.

[AvihooI]

Linus described Bannerlord in the end pretty much :D

[matumandal]

King Ecbert is the Don Corleone of the middle ages.

[SilverbladeGR]

Surprisingly astute comments regarding videogames from someone who knows nothing about them. I am truly impressed.

[tonyweaver]

There is already a video game it is called Rome 2 Attila, Age of Charlemagne.

[UhOkSureYeah]

I would think it would be more like Final Fantasy as a game no? Since you have the gods and all.
