Josh Donaldson’s apparently a huge Vikings fan and has been growing out his beard and hair to achieve a hairstyle inspired by Ragnar, played by Travis Fimmel. Donaldson recently took to Twitter to show off his new look which will fit right in on the set when he guest stars in History’s Vikings season four. Donaldson, the third baseman of the Toronto Blue Jays and American League MVP, will have a speaking role in the fourth season of the popular series, according to the network.

Donaldson will soon be visiting Ireland to join the cast and shoot his part in an upcoming episode. Donaldson will be playing Hoskuld, described as a “Viking warrior of great skill.” His episode will air later this season.

Vikings season four will premiere on Thursday, February 18, 2016 at 10pm ET/PT. The series stars Travis Fimmel, Katheryn Winnick, Clive Standen, Gustaf Skarsgard, Alexander Ludwig, Alyssa Sutherland, and Ben Robson.

The Vikings Plot:

In the upcoming season of Vikings, betrayal is everywhere as the powers begin to shift. Following the Vikings’ successful raid of Paris in season three, Ragnar is the most feared and respected leader in the Western World. However, his victory is short-lived as he is surrounded by those who seek his undoing.
