Biography
Alexander Ludwig is a Canadian actor and country musician born May 7, 1992. He began acting as a child and broke through as a teenager in The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising (2007) and Race to Witch Mountain (2009), then gained mainstream recognition playing Cato, a career-tribute antagonist, in The Hunger Games (2012). His supporting roles spanned indie horror—Jameson in Final Girl (2015)—and blockbuster sequels: Dorn in Bad Boys for Life (2020) and Sgt. Declan O'Brady in Guy Ritchie's The Covenant (2023). Ludwig anchored the History Channel's Vikings as legendary Viking Björn Ironside across six seasons (2014–2020), a role that redefined his public profile. He led the Starz drama Heels (2021–2023), playing a professional wrestler navigating family conflict, and has continued film work into 2025 with Marked Men: Rule + Shaw. As a musician, Ludwig released his debut country album Highway 99 via BBR Music Group on August 26, 2022. Born under Taurus, Ludwig carries the sign's steadiness into long-form storytelling; his life-path number 33 (the master teacher) aligns with his dual role as both on-screen performer and recording artist [F1, enrichments]. Actors typically divide their work between film, television, and theater, balancing character-driven projects with commercial appeal.
