Lars Mikkelsen

I had to spend a few years learning how to do movies. I wasn't really good at that. I was a theatre actor first and foremost. So I took my time learning that.

I was in the military, and then I went to university to study biology.

Denmark is, like, the flattest country on Earth.

I didn't really understand what you did when you went in front of the camera. And then suddenly I just understood it. When you're in a play, you carry the story, but you don't have to do that in film.

Here in Denmark, you can easily just be left alone. This is my 'hood, and people leave me alone; it's nice.

I think you could find some waves on the west side of Denmark, but I never tried it.
