About Alexander in a nice review: "The spellman in the center  The most important is the spellman. It was a stroke of genius to catch the Kjempesjansen-winner Alexander Rybak who has been given a considerable role in the production and does it with a lovely violin play and lots of charm."

Here is a video of the epic song "If I Were A Rich Man" from the play they performed later, at the 60 years anniversary concert of Igor Rybak in 2014:

To the premiere of the last movie, Alexander said a
 few words about what the movie and the dubbing work meant to him. 
Video with multilingual subtitles:

A nice review on filmfront.no related to Alexander's acting:

"The Norwegian dubbing is also wonderfully engaging and good. In the center is Alexander Rybak as Hikken with his distinctive and charming voice that helps to create Hikkens personality more than it's common in dubbing. Another fine feature is the Norwegian dialects that also add to the personality of the character gallery, characters that are pretty much funny and made with wonderful personality."

 ✔ Voice actor 2.

Alexander gave the Norwegian voice to Moomin, the main character of the stereoscopic 3D-animated movie “Mummitrollet-kometen kommer" (Moomins and the Comet Chase)  

Released in Norway on the 16th of  February 2011.
