Valter Skarsgård (26), son to Stellan Skarsgård (71) and younger brother to Alexander (46), Gustaf (41), and Bill Skarsgård (32), is set to star in Viaplay’s Biopic Series on Ice Hockey Legend Börje Salming.

Jason Priestley also joins the cast and portrays Gerry McNamara, the Toronto Maple Leafs talent scout who discovered Salming and brought him to North America.

Salming played over 1,100 games for the Maple Leafs across 16 seasons (1973-1989) and was named one of the 100 greatest NHL players in history in 2017. He was the first Swedish player to be inducted into the prestigious Hockey Hall of Fame.

Salming, now 71, was recently diagnosed with ALS.
