SKAM-star has signed with top agency: - There will be no more gay characters to begin with
The actor Henrik Holm (21) now belongs to the international Panorama Agency.
The career of the Norwegian actor Henrik Hom reaches new hights. Last week Holm accepted the Viewers award at Gullruten for his achievement as Even in the international NRK-success Skam.
A few days after Holm and costar Tarjei Sandvik Moe accepted the acknowledged statute in Bergen, it turns out he went to Copenhagen.
Wants to reject gay roles
On Monday, it was revealed that Holm has signed an acting contract with the Danish Panorama Agency
Founder and head of the Danish agency, Lene Seested, is delighted with the signing, and predicts a promising career for the 21-year-old.
- Henrik Holm is VERY exciting. Skam has put him on the world map and definitely contributes to his great momentum, says Seested til Dagbladet
Now the work to get the roles Holm wants Is starting, she says.
In season 3 of Skam, the viewers followed Holm and Sandvik Moe in the roles of identity-seeking, homosexual youths Even and Isak.
In the acting industry it may affect the choices you have and your career, to “typecast”, to mark one type of roles. Holm’s next projects can be quite different from the role in Skam, if we believe Seested.
- There will be no more gay characters to begin with. We want to reject that. Now he wants to do completely different roles, says the agent.
Skam has, besides putting Norway on the world map, been praised for the theme of, among other things, identity, homosexuality and feminism on “youth’s premise Norway 2017”
Incredibly exciting
Holm therefore belongs to the same agency as a number of other famous Norwegian actors, including Agnes Kittelsen, Kristofer Hivju, Ellen Dorrit Petersen, Tobias Santelmann, Nicolai Cleve Broch and Marie Blokhus.
- He is ambitious, focused and wants to work internationally. We already have several offers on the table for Henrik, so it’s just for us to press the start button. The fact that he also has an American passport helps a lot, says Seested.

Твиттер, фэйсбук, тумблер — все взорвались. Голосом возмутившейся общественности в этом конфликте выступил журналист и ведущий с VG Мортен Хегсет, известная личность, открытый гей и поклонник Хенрика. Он написал пост в инстаграме с подписью «надеюсь, остальные актёры Скама не будут по началу больше играть гетеросексуальных персонажей»
Он написал статью. Коротко: неважно, что персонаж гей, это не должно влиять на выбор роли, Панорама противоречит тому, о чем говорил 3 сезон Скама: «геи такие же люди, как все»

Shame on Panorama
From an angry gay.
When the Danish top agency “Panorama Agency” signs Henrik Holm, Norway’s foremost actor’s talent, it’s done in such an idiotic way that one would almost think it was joke.
For the record: Henrik Holm is one of the most important people internationally regarding the normalization of homosexuality. We have seen that in “SKAM”, on Gullruten, and in life in general.
But his new management obviously has something to learn from their new trump card, which they now want to throw in the “Panorama-shower” and scrub completely free of gay associations.
I quote: “There will be no more gay characters to begin with. We will reject them. Now he wants to do completely different roles.”
Thatsays founder of the agency, Lene Seested, to Dagbladet - and justifies the statement that being offered just a certain type of roles can have consequences for the career.
Panorama Agency is also an international distributor of top actors with Norwegian names like Kristoffer Hivju, Tobias Santelmann and Nicolay Cleve Broch on the list - and offices in Copenhagen, London and Los Angeles.
Now Seested also has Henrik Holm in the stables, something she celebrates with a cute school girl selfie and statements that smells like shitty 50’s rhetoric.
It’s allowed to formulate clumsy, by all means, I have experience of that.
But the more I think about it, the more it seems to me that this is not a clumsy statement: The head of Scandinavia’s largest actor’s actor says black-and-white that portraying someone who falls in love with the same sex is a character that will limit you in your further career.
It is a stupid statement, even in Denmark, where gender equality and gender debate don’t take as much space as in Sweden and Norway.
And what Seested says, is the opposite of the morality that is so elegantly told in Skam.
One of the scariest things with getting out of the closet like gay - honey, I know it myself - is just the fear that your entire person will be colored with signal pink prejudices that will force you into tight spaces for your further existence.
The fear of a “come-out” phase is just about fearing that your own sexual orientation will minimize the action room for the rest of your life because a queer sexuality comes with a recipe.
But exactly this fear and untruth , Even and Isak managed to show people around the world is wrong, fortunately. We can and are just as different as everyone else. Who we kiss and sleep with has nothing to say for who we are in our minds and our hearts. Therefore, it is a dangerous signal when Seested says that in reality it is not.
Even was not primarily Even for the Panorama Agency, for them he was first and foremost gay. People who are uncertain of their own sexuality often absorb information like a fungus. And then it’s an easy conclusion to draw that if you are restricted in acting if you’re gay, you can be damn sure that you are going to be restricted in real life to.
It’s like somebody wrote on Facebook:
"Have we gone back to the start?“.
Nope, thankfully not. On social media there is now a storm against the agency.
As the profile @etheltannetsted so accurately writes on Instagram: “I almost wonder if Seested has actually seen season 3 of SKAM. The worldwide fans witnessed an enormous momentum that was created for normalization of homosexuality. Seested’s statements undermine this momentum by returning to putting gay people under certain labels. Homosexuality is not a role. (…). The statement helps to cement the perception that gay people must be specific “types” when it’s exactly this Holm has been working against in Skam.”
No need to say more. Or, yes, one thing needs to be said, and Skam says it the best: ALT ER LOVE

Панорама ответила извинением на своей странице на фейсбуке. Коротко: «Хенрик может играть любую интересную ему роль: солдата, викинга, Джеймса Бонда, диснеевского принца, полицейского, трансексуала».
Текст на английском
Dear all committed shame fans. Skam Skam English
I am very grateful for all the wonderful gestures we have received in the context of our collaboration with Henrik Holm
I'm a big fan of shame, the entire universe and Henrik's performance as an actor. He needs to, with our help, play all the different roles he wants such as soldier, Viking, James Bond, love family, first promise Disney Prince, King, police officer, transsexual, and much more.
Big 'hands up' for the right to be exactly that you are, for love, for all people who are good in the world regardless of sexuality and religion.
I can't wait for you to follow Henry's work and his career.
Love Lene Seested
Чем еще больше усугубила ситуацию. Мортен в свою очередь написал на своей странице ответ
Текст на английском
“Now Panorama Agency responds, and hits themselves in the face more than expected, given: “He must, with our help, play all the different roles he wants, for example, soldier, viking, James Bond, loving family father, first lover, Disney Prince, King, Police Officer, Transsexual, - and more. ”
The point is that gay is not a part and that loving family fathers, police officers and first lovers can be both homosexual and heterosexual. And even better: Now transsexual is also a role. Hahaha !!”
и разразился новой статьёй, призывающей Хенрика не молчать и выступить в этой ситуации. И даже, возможно, сменить агенство.

Get out, Henrik!
“Panorama Agency” responds after yesterday’s fiasco statement that Henrik Holm will not play more “gay characters”. Surprisingly, she makes the situation worse.
Yesterday I wrote a comment about “Panorama Agency” and their CEO Lene Seested, who went our hard in the signing of Skam’s Henrik Holm, who said that from now on there were “no more gay characters” for Holm. They want to say no to it, because so-called “typecasting” can have consequences for his career.
The problem is as known that homosexuality is not a “role” or “a character”, but only about who you love. Skam fans around the world have raged against Seested, and mean that she is now doing her best to pull up the ladder that Isak, Even and Skam has sent down to the world regarding fighting for sexuality rights. Now she takes the blade from her mouth and answers the criticism. And hits herself in the face harder than ever:
“I’m a big fan of Skam, the whole universe, and Henrik’s performance as an actor. With our help, he will play all the different roles he wants, such as Soldier, Viking, James Bond, Loving Family Fare, First Lover, Disney Prince, King, Police Officer, Transsexual and much more.” says the statement on Facebook .
The fact that she now almost quotes that this is about Henrik’s desire to play James Bond, Viking and Disney Prince into the root, is on the edge of a scandal. I doubt it’s true, and if so, she has broken a silence contract already before Holm has started working for her.
Because even though some might have hoped that Seested was mistaken when she called being gay “a character”, it appears now that it was the opposite. She obviously has a fundamentally different view compared to us that criticizes her.
One may wish for some popcorn for this fiasco performance of a PR strategy “Panorama Agency” has messed up in. Not only did she misunderstand the whole problem with her own statement - but now transsexual is also a role. In addition, she means that police, princes and loving family fathers can not be anything but heterosexual.
Lene Seested is the chief of several of Scandinavia’s greatest actors, but still can not see the forest for trees only.(?metafor)
If one plays a role with a different sexual orientation than the heterosexual, there is no room for other traits of politics, prince titles and love for their own children, she believes.
Right now, it’s so embarrassing by Seested’s agency that maybe Henrik should get on the pitch. Because this is not his fault: Holm is currently a victim of an agency’s idiotic launch strategy, while at the same time sitting with Skam’s silence agreement in front of his mouth and unable to defend himself.
Therefore, his management can gloriously destroy what should have been one of the most exciting things he has done. It is as disrespectful and idiotic as it can be.
The question is what happens if Henrik Holm now sees another way and chooses to cooperate with another agency - who can manage his talent better than the Seested manages.
Henrik Holm can conquer the world if he wants, and he should do that without Panorama, which obviously does not respect any of his hard work.
