Adam Lundgren reveals how he becomes 'conspiratorial' during long stretches without acting jobs.

The episode is an interview with Swedish actor Adam Lundgren, conducted by host Kristoffer Triumph. Lundgren begins by discussing the uncertainty and mental strain of periods without acting work, describing how it can make him feel 'conspiratorial'. He talks about his recent projects, including the film 'Biodlaren' and the upcoming TV series 'Golden Boys', which deals with the Trösterhärvan financial scandal. A significant portion of the conversation focuses on his preparation for 'Biodlaren', particularly mastering a specific Värmland dialect. He hired dialect coach Oskar Julin and had his co-star Hedvig and her father record all his lines to practice. Lundgren shares his philosophy that his value as a person is not determined by his career success, but by his personal relationships. He admits to struggling with self-hatred, often triggered by procrastinating on administrative tasks like paying bills and doing expense reports. Financial anxiety is a recurring theme, especially during slower work periods. Lundgren reflects on winning an award in Göteborg for 'Biodlaren' and his difficulty enjoying the recognition. He questions whether critical success in a film actually leads to more job offers. The interview covers his role in 'Golden Boys' as Joakim Påsner, a key figure who went underground for 30 years after the scandal. Lundgren mentions the positive feedback he received on his dialect work from locals during filming. The episode concludes with the host promoting 'Biodlaren' and 'Golden Boys', and Lundgren expressing hope for future work.
