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.
