Jesper Christensen was initially offered the role as Him - the male lead - but due to scheduling conflicts he had to turn down the role. However, three months later he got to appear in the film, though only as a voice, as he did the narration of the Hia Sun legend.
The role of Him, the film's male lead, was written specifically with actor Jesper Christensen in mind and once approached about the project he expressed interest in doing the film. Due to his busy, international schedule he later had to back out. Producer-director Anders Helde had tried to cast Stig Hoffmeyer in 'KIRKEN' in 2006, the director's last film before 'NEXUS' but back then Stig Hoffmeyer was unable to take on the role due to a busy schedule. Fortunately, Stig Hoffmeyer was able to take on the role of Him in 'NEXUS' and 2 months after principal photography ended, Jesper Christensen got to be in the movie after all when he came in and did the narration of The Hia Sun Legend.
