Daniel Lundh

Daniel Lundh is a Swedish actor, writer, director, journalist and artist. A multilingual in English, French, Spanish, Swedish and Italian, he often works internationally. After years in the theatre, directors Norman Jewison and Elie Chouraqui gave him his first break, respectively in 'The Statement' (2003) and 'O Jerusalem' (2005). In 2007, Daniel gathered a nomination in the Best newcomer category at the French Césars, for his breakthrough role as a troubled youth in search of his father, in critically successful 'Délice Paloma'. The following year, he appeared in HBO and BBC joint venture, 'House of Saddam'. A mini-series directed by Alex Holmes, headed by an international cast, that explores the inner workings of Saddam Hussein's family. That year, he was also part of the French ensemble of 'Les Héritières', a period adaptation of William Shakespeare's 'King Lear', set in Corsica at the end of WWII. There, he played angelic, yet vengeful, bastard son Massimo, equivalent of Edgar's character in Lear. In 2010, he starred opposite Jean Reno as a Marseille mob villain, in thriller '22 Bullets', directed by Richard Berry, and brought to the screen by Luc Besson and the producers of Taken. In 2011, Woody Allen cast him as Spanish bullfighter Juan Belmonte, in 'Midnight in Paris', having him perform all his scenes in Spanish, in an otherwise all-english production. This was followed up by roles in French/German/Canadian TV production 'Jack of Diamonds' and 'Interpol', a French police investigation series, whose action is set around Europe. In 2015, Daniel appears in Ian Edelman's (creator of HBO show 'How to Make It in America') wild comedy 'Puerto Ricans in Paris'. Show less «
