“Østkant/vestkant” is the name of the series, which is currently being recorded in Oslo. A pilot episode is under production, and Tarjei Sandvik Moe had a roll in this.
It is a drama series which focuses on bullying and the relationships between east and western youths. Tarjei plays a nice West End Boy, who takes care of the main character of the show, a girl who is being bullied and excluded, says André Santagati to VG.
The character is surrounded by a bunch of “cool people who do bad things” and also struggles with his identity. At the same time, he has a big heart and a difficulty speaking out, explains Santagati, who is producing the show alongside Kjetil Paulson, Irasj Asanti and actor Jørgen Langhelle.
The series is not yet owned by a TV channel, but the producers hope that it will be picked up following the pilot episode.
That is, however, without Tarjei Sandvik Moe. After he played in the pilot, and after VG contacted him for questions regarding it, he withdrew from the production.
VG has been in contact with the actor’s Swedish agent Annika Kildén. She first wrote by email that Sandvik Moe had no comment on the series. Shortly after that, it became clear that he would not be part of the show’s continuation.
Producer and director Kjetil Paulsen said to VG that he did not know why the actor withdrew from the production.
“We have not gotten a direct answer, but it may have to do with a clash of projects. We had already assured that our recording days would not clash with “Skam”,” says Paulsen.
“He performed well in the role - that’s why we cast him. But it’s also common for actors to play during pilot episodes, but not continue with the continuation of the show.”
Annika Kildén has not responded by email to VG’s repeated questions. VG has also tried to contact Tarjei Sandvik Moe directly, without success.
Project manager Håkon Moslet of Skam said to VG in a message that they have had nothing to do with whether Sandvik Moe will participate in the series or not.оригинал
