About Alyssa Sutherland
A Brisbane native, Sutherland began modelling at 15 before moving into screen acting. Her film work includes The Fortune Theory, Don’t Look Up and Day on Fire, while her television appearances include Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and New Amsterdam.
Her screen career also has a strong horror strand. She plays Eve Copeland in The Mist and Ellie in Evil Dead Rise, making those useful destinations for viewers who know only Aslaug’s place in Vikings. The change is especially striking in Evil Dead Rise: a domestic horror story asks for a different kind of physical and emotional transformation from a royal court drama.

Watching the performance

Sutherland’s scenes are often about status, belief and the ability to command attention rather than combat. Aslaug’s mythic parentage belongs to the character’s legendary framework; it is not biographical information about the actor.
