Those About to Die – Moe Hashim & Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson Interview

Moe Hashim plays Kwame and Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson plays Viggo in the new historical epic series, Those About to Die. The two actors spoke with MovieWeb’s Greg Archer about the gladiatorial show set in Ancient Rome, which also stars Anthony Hopkins. All episodes of Those About to Die are streaming on Peacock.

Those About to Die is an epic drama set in the corrupt world of the spectacle-driven gladiatorial competition, exploring a side of ancient Rome never before told — the dirty business of entertaining the masses, giving the mob what they want most…blood and sport. The series introduces an ensemble of characters from all corners of the Roman Empire who collide at the explosive intersection of sports, politics, and dynasties.
