Will Ferrell and Wife Viveca Paulin Bestowed "The 2007 Viking Prize"

Will Ferrell scores another honor, not for his acting career, but for his being deeply involved in the Swedish School of Los Angeles. The comedian-actor and his wife Viveca Paulin have been bestowed "The 2007 Viking Prize."

The husband-and-wife are scheduled to accept the award from Margareta Saperston, headmaster of the school, at a ceremony on May 19th later this year.

The Viking Prize, created to honor significant contributors to the Swedish School of Los Angeles, is symbolized by a beautiful marble sculpture created by Swedish artist Jeanette Sedacca.

Farrell recently made headlines when he launched FunnyOrDie a streaming video website where short comedy films are uploaded and voted on by users. The site features The Landlord, starring Ferrell and a swearing, beer drinking two-year-old girl.
