Lars Mikkelsen

Lars Mikkelsen is not inferior in diligence to his star brother Mads Mikkelsen. During his acting career, he starred in action-packed political dramas and ratings projects from Netflix.

Lars Dittmann Mikkelsen was born on May 6, 1964, in the small Danish town of Gladsaxe, near Copenhagen. He was the eldest child of a nurse and a bank employee. Less than two years later, the future star had a brother Mads, famous for his starring role in Hannibal.

The boy spent his childhood in the working district of Nherrebro, where he studied to play handball and sang in the school choir. When the studies ended, the young man went to military service in the infantry regiment of the Royal Guard. Lars soon realized that he did not want to make a career as an officer, and enrolled at the University of Copenhagen, where he studied biology. During this period, the young man continued to look for his place in life.

The result of the search was the work of a street artist, for which Mikkelsen dropped out of college. He enrolled in a juggler school, and then began to give performances, entertaining the audience with pantomime and fiery shows. In the company of friends, the guy toured the world and visited Paris, Moscow and Warsaw. Then Lars clearly realized that he wants to engage in creativity and receive rave reviews of the audience.

He soon enrolled at the Statens Teaterskole State Theatre School in Copenhagen, where he studied acting for 5 years. In his youth Mikkelsen was a sought-after stage artist, he made his debut in the production of "Dracula" and eventually participated in more than 40 plays.

Despite her love of theatre, Larsa was haunted by the fame that was given to the screen. He began his film career with small roles in Danish TV series and films, but soon began receiving invitations to foreign projects. The artist did not have problems with a foreign language, because he knew German and Swedish well. During an interview with The Independent, the actor revealed that he had studied English while listening to recordings of the monty Python comedian's performances with his brother.

After a string of episodic roles in television series, the man joined the main cast of the action drama "Murder", where he played the role of a candidate for mayor of Copenhagen, Truls Hartmann. The events unfold around detective Sarah Lund, who investigates crimes committed in the Danish capital.

The next acclaimed project, which was supplemented by the filmography of a celebrity, was the series "Government". The picture tells about the principled and honest Birgitte Nyborg, who was entrusted with the formation of the Danish parliament. The heroine has to choose between their own moral foundations and the desire to preserve the reputation of the Cabinet of Ministers, in addition, against the background of events, she is trying to establish a personal life. In this convoluted story, Lars played the role of Soren Ravno, who became a character in Season 3.

After that, the artist managed to participate in the filming of the cult British drama "Sherlock" with Benedict Cumberbatch in the title role. The plot is based on the books of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who describes the biography of the talented detective Sherlock Holmes, but the action is transferred to the modern world. In the 3rd part of the series, Mikkelsen had to embody the image of Charles Augustus Magnussen - a businessman and blackmailer who uses the same technique of memorization as the main character, and can store in his head information without printed copies and electronic media.

When the episodes of "Sherlock" with Lars came to the screens, he attracted the attention of the creators of the political thriller "House of Cards", who offered the star to play the role of the fictional Russian president Viktor Petrov. The prototype of the hero was Vladimir Putin, but in an interview for the Independent, the man admitted that observing the behavior of the head of the Russian Federation did little to help him in preparation for the shooting because of the difference between them. First of all, he pointed out the differences in the composition, because the actor, whose height is 192 cm, above the policy by almost 22 cm. In the same conversation, Mikkelsen added that the hardest thing was to portray a Russian accent.

In between filming in "House of Cards" the man participated in the creation of the drama "The Day Will Come." This is the story of brothers Eric and Elmer, who became pupils of a children's boarding school, which is run by the cruel and cynical director Frederick Heck, played by Lars. For this role he received the awards "Body" and "Robert" as the best supporting actor.

In 2019, the artist again appeared before the audience in the form of a negative character. He joined the cast of Netflix's "The Witcher." Mikkelsen's hero - the sorcerer Strygobor, who opened the hunt for mutant girls. The character is shown as a cunning, calculating and cruel manipulator. Lars's colleagues were Henry Cavill, Freya Allan, Joey Bathe and Anya Chalotra.

Mikkelsen met his wife, actress Anette Stovelbeck, long before worldwide fame. The couple had two sons, Lowe and Thor.

2020 was a fruitful year for the artist. He starred in the mini-series Gr'nseland and began working on such projects as The X-Gene Project, The Knife Thrower and The Boy Who Stole the World.
