With Netflix Show 'Tore,' Get to Know Rising Gay Swedish Actor William Spetz

Spetz reposts a collage of images from the show in this official Netflix Nordic promotional post. Viewers interested in the series get a taste of "Tore's" color, cinematography, and style. A great variety of side characters that tackle issues like cheating, having children, surviving homophobia, thriving in the drag scene, and so much more make the show a must-watch for audiences looking for something different.

Spetz enjoys some time out on the town with a spaghetti meal, a bright pink sweater, and a gorgeous view of New York City's skyline. This is the type of relatable, day-in-the-life type post that helps fans understand their favorite actors more.

Spetz dives deeper into his personal life in this interview snippet, giving fans a look at the parts of the show inspired by his own grief. In the show, Tore can't understand how to grasp his grief when his dad dies. Spetz discusses how he took his feelings when his grandmother passed away and translated them onto the screen to help give the show a more authentic feel. He also wants fans to enjoy the humanistic aspect to the character and how the series gets into the LGBTQ+ experience beyond one-liners and cheap stereotypes.

Drag queen culture is a big part of "Tore." When Tore's father dies, the drag bar is one of the main places he frequents for comfort and to find new friends. Spetz has experience working in drag in other Swedish productions, showing this in the preview of "Little Zlatan and Uncle Strange."

Spetz has a lot of interactions with a golden lab named MJ in the series. Tore's father's dog becomes a prominent character as Tore tries to figure out where his life is going. Spetz shows off the cute animal actor who played MJ, with fans commenting on how adorable the pet was throughout the six episodes.

"Tore" is a gloomy experience, to say the least. The depression of the character permeates through the screen; therefore, it's nice to see Spetz out of character and enjoying life in this set of professional photos that show off his best traits. Spetz looks gorgeous in the open blazer in the first photo and the all-white ensemble in the second photo.

Spetz shows he's close to his mother in this beautiful photo of the two from March 2020. It's great to see when someone appreciates their loved ones and celebrates them on random occasions; not just on birthdays or holidays.

Spetz shows he's quite the daredevil in this video of him riding on a gigantic slide into the lake below. The slow-motion replay of the fun time shows Spetz's sense of humor and willingness to get out of his comfort zone, things that surely make him a better performer and writer.

Spetz appreciates the quiet moments in life in front of the beautiful natural environment behind him. He talks about the enjoyment in reading and taking in the scenery and how it can become addicting to live in such peace.

Spetz shows he might be a great dad someday in this picture of him enjoying time with a friend's baby. He discusses the joys of hanging out and getting to know his friend's child and the benefit of choosing when you want to act as a father when the baby isn't yours!
