The roles of Faxe, Tjure, Snorre, Ulme, Urobe, and Gorm were cast in the six-part TV show Bully sucht die starken Männer! (2008) on German network ProSieben.
When director Michael Herbig learned that Günther Kaufmann (Sven the Terrible) had previously participated in the german version of the TV Reality series "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!" ), he said to Kaufmann that he would not have cast him if he had been aware of it.
