What a stud, I bet the women are all over him.
He is not born in Kumla he is born in Arbrå, Sweden.
He has played a German, (The Big Lebowski (1998)), a Frenchman (Chocolat (2000)), three Russians (Bad Boys II (2003)), Armageddon (1998) and Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 (2008) (VG)), an Italian (“Prison Break” (2005)), a Dane (Ekko (2007)), a Norwegian (Switch (2007/I)) and a Swede (Minority Report (2002)).
So I always thought this fella looked rather atypical for a Swede but then again I’m not too keen on the Scandinatians so I could just be absolutely wrong, i do think he’s somewhat ambiguous
His look isn’t really uncommon in Sweden or even Denmark.
