  • Trivia

  • Quotes
    "I grew up in northern Sweden in a very small village and this is exactly the same. It's very strange. It's two hundred small villages linked together. Living here as compared to living in Tokyo, where I lived, or in London or New York, this is so much more like living in the country. You go to bed early and you get up early, even if you're not working. You get up early with the sun and go to bed with the sun. That is much more rural kind of living and it suits me so much better than New York." - On Los Angeles.
    • Known for playing different nationalities: an American in The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997), a German in The Big Lebowski (1998), an Italian in The Brothers Grimm (2005) and Prison Break (2005), a Frenchman in Chocolat (2000), and a Russian in Armageddon (1998), Bad Boys II (2003), Deadly Code (2013), John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017) and American Gods (2017)
