Stefán Karl Stefánsson, actor, has passed away at the age of 43 after a 2 year battle with cancer. Stefán is leaving behind a wife and four children.
Stefán was most likely the Icelandic actor most people on earth recognized, and still do. Millions of people all around the world grew up watching, and shouting constantly at him through the television, letting him know that his newest disguise has been foiled as Robbie Rotten.
Stefán Karl started his acting career at the acting association of Hafnafjörður when he was only 13 years old. He was born in Hafnafjörður in the year 1975, although he had family in other places of the country, which he would visit when given the opportunity. He enjoyed few things as much as he enjoyed driving through whalebay (Hvalfjörð, a bay just outside Mosfellsbær) with his father, whom worked close by. He would go down to the docks and watch the dockers going about their business, thus receiving the short-lived nickname : "Stebbi bryggjurotta" (Stebbi dockrat).
As a child Stefán lived close by a cemetery and later admitted that in his younger years, he had been terrified of ghosts and ghouls. He talked about how he would sneak out into his garden in the night and throw rocks at an iron garbage can. When the noise filled the air he became terrified at first and ran for his dear life. After repeating the process he finally started braving the night, Stefán mentions that by repeating the process he "scared away his fear of the dark".
He bounced back twice previously so this is a sad turn of events.
