I must admit that Sportacus
from the program Lazy Town
is one of my chief inspirations
for staying in great shape!!
MAGNUS SCHEVING
In 1992 he became the Icelandic Men's Individual Champion in aerobic gymnastics.[2]
In 1993, he became the Scandinavian champion, and was the European champion twice in 1994 and 1995. He was voted Athlete of the Year in Iceland in 1994. He is the CEO, creator, and co-founder of LazyTown Entertainment. This company produces books, videos, games, and sporting goods to help promote fitness and a healthy lifestyle to children. He is also creator of the show LazyTown (Latibær in Iceland), where he plays Sportacus (known as Íþróttaálfurinn in Icelandic).
In 2006, Scheving received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Icelandic Edda Award ceremonies for his work as founder and creator of the LazyTown franchise. The President of Iceland presented the award to him.[3][4]
MY COMMENT:
Magnus Scheving is obviously
one of the truly great men in the modern world today
and a real credit to his race!
Humanity needs more men like him!
If he said he was related to the American actor
DANNY KAYE
I would be inclined to believe it without question
for he sure looks a lot like him!
