In the series Lilyhammer[]

Frank Tagliano wants to relocate to Lillehammer, because the Olympic Games was there in 1994 and he enjoyed watching it on TV. The show is deliberately called "Lilyhammer", because many people from the US probably speak it that way - and of course, Lily was also the name of Frank's dog, who caught a deadly shot in his bar in New York.
