Aksel Hennie is a Norwegian actor, writer and director. He has acted in a number of successful Norwegian movies, and has received several awards. Hennie grew up in Lambertseter in Oslo. In his late teens he was sentenced for tagging, and became an outcast in the community for confessing to the police. This personal story contributed much of the background for the movie Uno. The conviction against Hennie was in fact one of the first such cases in Norway. Hennie was admitted to the Norwegian National Academy of Theatre after applying four times. He graduated in 2001, and has since acted both at Teatret in Molde from 2001 to 2002 and at Oslo Nye Teater from 2002 till now where he has been in plays such as Hamlet, and The woman who married a turkey. His main success, however, has been as a film actor. He made his debut starring in the feature film Jonny Vang in 2003. Though the director, Jens Lien, originally thought Hennie was too young for the role, the actor convinced him he was the right man for the film. The same year he also acted in the movies Buddy and Ulvesommer, and the next year he made his debut as a director and writer with the movie Uno, in which he also acted.[5] For this film Hennie, and his co-star Nicolai Cleve Broch, went into hard physical training for six months to perform convincingly as bodybuilders. He won the Amanda Award (the main Norwegian film award) for "The Best Direction" (for the movie Uno in 2005), and that same year he was also among the nominees for "Best Actor" and "Best Film". He also won an Amanda award as "Best Actor" for the movie Jonny Vang in 2003. He was named one of European films "Shooting Stars" by European Film Promotion in 2004. In 2001 he was also named "Theatre talent of the year" by the newspaper Dagbladet. In 2008 Hennie starred in the movie Max Manus, where he played the role of the Norwegian war hero by that name. The movie had a large budget by Norwegian standards, and was met with great expectations.- Actor

Andre Eriksen's George Santos Resume
Andre Eriksen's monologue "why?" performed at Royal Albert Hall in 1985 is said to have brought Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev to tears and inspired the initiation of the peace talks that ended the cold war. In the early 90s, Andre developed a unique way to communicate with animals through sound and motion performance. He traveled with the Uzbek theatre company "Ichki Olov" for four years in the Amazon jungle where they lived off the earth and performed the play "AhkAh HA babaklah" for a large group of black spider monkeys and a giant river otter. Video recordings of these plays now serve as the backbone of interspecies communication studies around the world. The theatre company dissolved in '94, and Andre isolated himself in the Himalayas for years. Here he practiced Buddhism and wrote the masterpiece "Reflections of a wounded teardrop" The mysterious short film was never publicly released, and its contents remains unseen. Eriksen stars and directs himself in the film that features none other than the Dalai Lama himself as the evil antagonist "Hon Eps Egel" who is trying to lure Eriksen's character to buy an overpriced 1991 Toyota Corolla and steals his sleeping bag during a 24-hour trip to Copenhagen.
As an activist Andre ran with the bulls in Pamplona. The bulls took him in as one of their own and during the event Andre rammed and injured several participants in the name of his herd.
"Accipit ingenium ad cognoscendum ingenium." The quote was forged by pope John Paul the second and translates: It takes a genius to know a genius. The expression came to life when the Vatican was looking for someone to restore Michelangelo's work in the Sistine Chapel, a task deemed impossible. Eriksen was commissioned and chose to use crayons for the task. "You must understand the chemical complexity of your tools", said Eriksen while applying his advanced technique of rubbing any substance between his thumb and long finger while squinting with a distant stare. The technique proved itself to be accurate and the result of the restoration is considered perfect and expected to last forever.
Early Days As a child Andre was raised deep in the jungle by wolves with the assistance of a clumsy bear and an empathetic panther. When a mean tiger gets it in for him, they all decide it's time for Andre to find his way back to the humans. In the 80s, Andre was a drifter and made his way to the outskirts of a small town called Hope, Washington. Here he was arrested by a sadistic Police officer, subjecting him to the same kind of torture he suffered as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. Andre escapes to the woods on a motorcycle. He loses control and his violent rage triggers a huge deadly manhunt. During this incident Andre had long hair and he would wear a red band around his forehead to keep hair out of his face. If you wish to work with Andre, please write any inquiries on a large piece of paper and set it on fire. If interested, Andre will find you.- Angelina Jordan Astar was born on 10 January 2006 in Oslo, Norway. She is an actress, known for Lilyhammer (2012), Angelina Jordan: What Is Life (2020) and Angelina Jordan: Million Miles (2021).
