Magnús Örn Eyjólfsson Scheving (born 10 November 1964) is an Icelandic writer, actor, producer, entrepreneur, and athlete. He is the creator and co-star of the children's television show LazyTown, in which he starred as Sportacus.
Magnús Scheving was born on 10 November 1964. He grew up in the small town of Borgarnes in Iceland. At 5 years old he had his first job as a telephone exchange messenger boy for Borgarnes. In his 20s, he made a bet with a friend, Fjölnir Þorgeirsson, that each could master a sport of the other's choosing he knew nothing about in three years. Magnús chose snooker for Fjölnir and Fjölnir chose aerobics for Magnús. Just as Magnús became a champion in aerobics, Fjölnir became Icelandic champion in snooker.
In 1992, Magnús became the Icelandic Men's Individual Champion in aerobic gymnastics. In 1993, he became the Scandinavian champion, and was the European champion twice in 1994 and 1995. He was voted Athlete of the Year in Iceland in 1994. He is the CEO, creator, and co-founder of LazyTown Entertainment. This company produces books, videos, games, and sporting goods to help promote fitness and a healthy lifestyle to children. He is also creator of the show LazyTown (Latibær in Iceland), where he plays Sportacus (known as Íþróttaálfurinn in Icelandic).

Source: http://www.getlazy.net/wiki A play for children based on the book by Magnús Scheving. LazyTown is full of colourful characters who have a very negative attitude towards physical activity, healthy food and so on. They prefer to stuff themselves with sweets and watch television all day. As a result they are all weak and flabby. To change this, the Sports-Elf arrives, and through his positive attitude, driving magnetism and by not taking no for an answer, he persuades the inhabitants to change their destructive lifstyle.

Source: http://www.getlazy.net/wiki Glanni Glæpur í Latabæ is the 2nd Icelandic Play pre-tv Series. It was premiered 1999, and it's the first time Glanni Glæpur (Robbie Rotten) appears as character. In this play, Sportacus has managed to change the villagers´ negative attitude towards sports, healthy food and all diligence. But when he leaves and the villagers have to manage on their own, they turn out to be very unstable and easily influenced by the criminal Robbie Rotten, who turns up disguised as a very rich man. In fact, he has stolen the president's car and intends to corrupt the villagers so that he can sell them un-wholesome powder-food and become mayor of the town.

I DO NOT OWN THIS!!! FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY!!! All credit goes to Magnús Scheving and the BBC and Nick jr. Music administered by The Orchard Music. Link to my 2nd channel Vicious Volcanion: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3QwEh8JVRwt3PQrr8DOaiQ Add me on Skype: hankstermanproductions In this episode, pixel keeps falling asleep during the day when the kids are playing baseball. This is because pixel keeps staying up all night playing video games (Which I also do and is one of the reasons why pixel is my favourite characters :p) Robbie makes a noisy ball to keep sportacus awake at night so sportacus not only suffers from lack of sleep but he has no energy to do anything.
Created by Magnús Scheving, a gymnastics champion and CEO of LazyTown Entertainment, who also stars in the show (Sportacus).
Anyone who has watched their kids at a playground or park will know that most are naturally active and love nothing more than running around and playing. However, most of us don't actually realise the importance of kids swinging from the monkey bars and running around playing. Encouraging kids to be active is an incredibly important part of your child's development and can help them to establish healthy patterns that will last into adulthood. No one knows more about inspiring families to do this than Magnus Scheving, the creator and star of the children's television show LazyTown (new series launching on the 6th April on Cartoonio), which aims to inspire children (and their families) to lead healthier lives by making the concepts fun and accessible.

A free spanish translation from "Creativity meets Capital -- Interview with Magnús Scheving" (2005). An interesting interview where MS talks about his childhood, how was started the LazyTown project and his plans for the future.
