Following his brief stint on "The Beast," Travis Fimmel continued to land roles in action-packed projects, including as Ragnar Lothbrok in "Vikings" until its fourth season, and Marcus in "Raised by Wolves." Still, Fimmel won't be experiencing another "bang, bang, bang" disaster anytime soon like on the set of "The Beast." Now, he passes the baton to the trained professionals. 

"I don't love the action stuff at all," Fimmel said to People. "I'm lazy. I don't need to be a hero. I'm happy for the stunt guys to get paid to do their thing." This isn't the case for some of Fimmel's "Raised by Wolves" co-stars, mainly Amanda Collin, who plays Mother. 

"I've been working out a lot. I had to build some muscle for this role," she said in a behind-the-scenes interview, "and I feel that they're coming." One scene, which shows Mother flying through the air as a necromancer, was achieved via a combination of stunts by Collin and computer-generated imagery.

As Collin sweats and soars around on a harness, Fimmel is able to live the best of both worlds. He can still be part of the action without fearing another blunder.
