i also found this page where he is listed as an actor:

[fearlessjones]

I'm guessing this is him, too?

http://imdb.com/name/nm0036029/

Looks like he was in something else with Stefan Karl and has his own kid's show, if I'm reading it right?

EDIT:

Orn is a famous actor in Iceland and he has had a role in many plays. He is also famous as an entertainer.

He manages an entertain program in Iceland's TV -Channel 1, called "Spaugstofan".

Oh sweet, so he IS Icelandic? I figured he had some sort of Lazytown history. But my face recognition fails me yet again. Who was he in the stage play?

[lazy_airship]

Oh thanks for posting that. Its great to be able to read about who the genie was.
Ahh the magic of google.
Thats so cool you could figure out who it was- i would never have known where to start.

[LTgirl]

i have my ways ;)


so i googled "Orn Icelandic Actor" and then clicked on images until i found someone i thought could be him and voila :)

Cool! ^_^ thanks for finding out! I know, it pissed me off because they just had to interrupt the credits with that stupid piper possum. It's cool how he is Icelandic though, but I guess it kinda figures lol.

[EdisLeado]

Hmm, I'm guessing he played the Mayor in the 2nd Latibae stageplay. He certainly looks the part in that one pic of him in the suit :)

Great find, ltgirl!

[nindanjoe]

You got some mad Google skillz, LTgirl! I went looking in the wrong direction, I searched for Indian actors that were also singers. =P Good job!

I was watching through the 2nd play again, but I don't see him. I wonder which character he played. Did he do the voice of the chicken narrator? Maybe one of those 3 crooks? I think Magnús Ólafsson played the mayor in the 2nd play. Here's a clip from the Regina movie at YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbLNCg2u4gE

[DSK]

Haha, well this will bug me until I figure it out. >_<!

I do know he wasn't the mayor. That was Magnús Ólafsson, who also played a cop along with Stefan in "Regina"

But I just finished rewatching the play, and I'm wondering now if he was Siggi/Ziggy. Sometimes I see likeness, other times I don't. But I dunno... what do you think? (and pardon my lame screen cap'ing skills)

Which would be cool because I like Siggi in the play, but then wow he put on weight since then.

Örn Árnason is unleashed on the world! haha. He's quite a funny guy. And yeah, he's done loads of tv stuff. He's pretty famous in Iceland. Could be wrong, but off the top of my head, I seem to remember that Siggi was played by Steinn Ármann (who, by chance, also happened to be in 'Stella í framboði' with Stefán and Örn). There, bit of completely uselss trivia for you.

[moomoo]

Nothing is useless that puts people's minds at ease.

[DSK]

Ohhh okay, well now I know! (and feel a bit silly for looking for something that wasn't there to begin with XD; ) So yes, thank you for the random tidbits ^__^
