Re: Lars Mikkelsen Appreciation Thread
I've seen all of "1864" even if it lost most of it's viewers here...
Lars played a very 'soft' character in it... such a warm, loving man. He was the dirt poor farmer, and father of the two main characters.
He was very believable and again it's hard to believe it's the same man who disgusted me as Magnussen

That´s the magic of a good actor.

I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

Re: Lars Mikkelsen Appreciation Thread
Hehe… 'yes' to all of your comments. What "type"? 
I haven't seen him in a 'nice' role yet (even though he wowed me with being not-nice), but can just picture that 1864 thing. Sounds nice. And oddly, yes… he's one of those guys who looks good with some hair, huh? Have another?

Aaw, what a great pic! That really puts a huge smile on my face.

Re: Lars Mikkelsen Appreciation Thread
Doesn't it, though? Loving his expression, beard, and the moment it was shot in.

Re: Lars Mikkelsen Appreciation Thread
Yeah, absolutely. I also love the colours... the green, blue and orange are a perfect combination. And yes, his expression is just... gorgeous.

Re: Lars Mikkelsen Appreciation Thread
I know. Whether all of that was planned or not, love well-done pictures like that. Oh, and hair? You wanna talk about crazy different hair?? 
When I was scrolling through too many image-search pics again to see other stuff he was in, I found this little gem. Let me just say it's so neat and well-rounded how Europe/U.K. have a tendency to have theater plus tv/movie roots and vary it, but sometimes you have no idea actors you like on the screen did more stage stuff when they were younger. Such as doing a double-take while scrolling, half-recognizing a certain much younger someone in Shakespearean garb… 
Love it. Lars as Orsino in Helligtrekongersaften (Twelfth Night, 2004)

Re: Lars Mikkelsen Appreciation Thread
I wouldn't have recognised him if you hadn't posted it in this thread. But the cheekbones haven't changed!

Re: Lars Mikkelsen Appreciation Thread
That is amazing, Russell, what a great find! And I agree with Liberty, I wouldn't have recognized him at all. That hair is great, reminds me of David Tennant with his hair extensions for "Richard II". Which sort of leads back to what you mentioned about actors doing a lot of theatre in younger years... I had absolutely no idea how much theatre for example David Tennant had already done before he became The Doctor.

Re: Lars Mikkelsen Appreciation Thread
I know!!! 'Yes' to barely recognizing, sans cheekbones and taking closer look at other features. And 'yes' to crazy interesting theatre roots of quite a few of our favorites we didn't know of until seeing elsewhere (heck, and many of them returning to theatre!) - natch for similarity with David Tennant. I mean… just look at him! That hair… and face…!
