About Jordan Patrick Smith
Smith was a finalist for the 2015 Heath Ledger Scholarship, which supports emerging Australian actors developing careers in the United States. His work beyond Vikings includes Angelina Jolie’s Unbroken and the BBC drama Banished.
Before Ubbe, Smith played Andrew Robinson in Neighbours, a sustained part in a contemporary ensemble. Banished and Unbroken take him into different historical settings, while Lovecraft Country adds the role of William. That path moves between long-form television relationships and period productions rather than staying within one version of the action hero.

Playing Ubbe: performance & interviews
Watching the performance
The official Ubbe description emphasizes thoughtfulness and responsibility toward his younger brothers. Compare how Smith handles family negotiations with scenes in which Ubbe must choose a direction for himself. That comparison keeps the performance tied to the character’s decisions, rather than assuming every resemblance to Ragnar is an imitation of Fimmel.
