Biography & career

About Ivan Kaye

Ivan Kaye plays King Aelle in Vikings. His other period-screen roles include Joshua Collins in Dark Shadows, Pesca in The Woman in White and Lord Scrope in The King. He also plays Ivar in Hammer of the Gods and Yankee in Gunpowder Milkshake. These credits cross historical drama, stylized fantasy and contemporary action.

The King is a natural next stop for a viewer interested in another historical ensemble. Dark Shadows offers a change in tone, and Gunpowder Milkshake moves to a very different action world. His Ivar in Hammer of the Gods is a separate character from Ivar the Boneless in Vikings.
