Gabriel Byrne stars in "Vikings" on History Channel as Earl Haraldson, the most important ruler in Ragnar's district. A man of limited vision, the Earl suspects Ragnar's ambitions and goes head to head with him in a struggle for power and glory. Once a mighty warrior, the Earl, a mighty political leader in his own right, will take on Ragnar, his opposite in every way: a lowly farmer; a young man thirsting for knowledge, and a descendant of the gods.

Byrne previously starred in HBO's "In Treatment"

as Dr. Paul Weston. In 2009, Byrne won a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series - Drama for the role.

Grant's directorial debut "Wah-Wah"; opposite Laura Linney in Ray Lawrence's "Jindabyne"; and in "Emotional Arithmetic," also starring Susan Sarandon, Christopher Plummer and Max Von Sydow.
