De Morgen (BE) - "Where do series from West Flanders keep getting their actors?" - (mention Yves Degryse and Patricia Kargbo)

"Therefore that accent was one of the very first things on the checklist when casting. An identity check was a lot lower on the priority list. A windfall for Yves Degryse who, despite living all his life in Oudenaarde in East Flanders, managed to land the role of the flawless West Flemish-speaking mayor of Loveringem. (...) Patricia Kargbo, for example - was initially supposed to feature in one of the first episodes, as one of the causes of an out-of-control neighbourly dispute. But ‘she made such an impression during her audition that it would have been a shame to give her only a small supporting role’."
