The Troll cast features a number of Norwegian actors, but who is everyone and who do they play in the monster movie?

At the time of writing, Troll is the number one movie on Netflix, so audiences everywhere are tuning in to the story of an ancient troll that was awakened from a mountain, causing concern for the locals.

Troll was co-written and directed by Roar Uthaug and there's a great cast attached to the project too, starring as government officials and experts trying to stop the troll before it causes irreversible damage. 

Here's everything you need to know about the Troll cast.

Nora Tidemann is a paleontologist who is recruited by the Norwegian government to investigate the mountain of Dovre after several protesters die. Although she grew up learning about folklore from her father, she's become a skeptic later in life and at first is dubious about the existence of trolls.

She's played by critically acclaimed Norwegian actress Ine Marie Wilmann, who is best known for her challenging and complex roles such as Charlotte in the movie Homesick and Celine in the TV show Exit.
