Seventh Star Studios is proud to announce Dale Miller as Kjarten in the TV Pilot Rayden Valkyrie: Saga of a Lionheart!
Dale will portray Kjarten, a warrior of the north whose travels with companions Hallad and Gudrun have taken him far south, where he finds himself a member of a mercenary band led by the renowned heroine Rayden Valkyrie. Kjarten is a deadly fighter, but his sense of humor and love of fun endear him to his comrades. When the mercenary band hunts down a band of slavers who have taken a number of captives, Kjarten begins a journey that will test him like no other he has been on before.
The world Kjarten inhabits is featured in Stephen Zimmer’s sword and sorcery novel Heart of a Lion. The story in the TV pilot is not an adaptation of the novel, but rather an original storyline envisioned to be the foundation for a series of episodes filled with the adventures of Rayden’s war band.
“Dale is a multi-faceted talent, and he is a big asset to any project he is involved in,” Director/Screenwriter Stephen Zimmer said. “An actor capable of roles in a variety of genres, who is also able to perform at a high level in stunts and fight choreography, Dale is a great fit for the role of the warrior Kjarten, a character who has both lighthearted and intensive qualities. I am so glad to have Dale in our main ensemble and am confident that he will be fantastic on screen in our project!”
Rayden Valkyrie: Saga of a Lionheart is scheduled for production late spring on locations in Kentucky and represents the first visual media project for Seventh Star Studios, a division of Seventh Star Press, a publisher of speculative fiction based out of Lexington, Kentucky.
