In Denmark, Mads Mikkelsen has been called \u2018The face of the resurgent Danish cinema\u2019, and in international terms, he has already reached superstar status.<\/p>\n<p>Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and\u00a0<em>Star Wars<\/em>\u00a0will instantly recognise him as villain <strong>Kaecilius in Marvel\u2019s <\/strong>blockbuster movie<strong> Doctor Strange<\/strong> and as Death Star scientist\u00a0<strong>Galen Erso<\/strong> in <strong>Rogue One: A Star Wars Story<\/strong>. Both of those movies released in 2016, so it\u2019s safe to say that it was a \u2018golden year\u2019 for Mads Mikkelsen and movie fans in general.<\/p>\n<p>Mads Mikkelsen will also forever be remembered as\u00a0<strong>Le Chiffre in Casino Royale<\/strong>, the main villain in this\u00a0<strong>James Bond movie. <\/strong>Because of this man\u2019s icy bluffs and spine-chilling stares, poker nights will never be the same again.<\/p>\n<p>But even more spine-chilling than that was Mads Mikkelsen\u2019s portrayal of <strong>Dr. Hannibal Lecter in <\/strong>the recent TV series<strong> Hannibal<\/strong>. Together with ex-FACTS guest Gillian Anderson, he managed to give the audience an uncomfortable mix of dread and respect for the\u00a0serial killer. A great achievement indeed!<\/p>\n<p>His list of epic roles and performances doesn\u2019t stop there. He was Draco in the 2010 film\u00a0<strong>Clash of the Titans,<\/strong>\u00a0Lucas in the excellent 2012 thriller<strong> The Hunt<\/strong>,\u00a0Tristan in Jerry Bruckheimer\u2019s version of <strong>King Arthur<\/strong>,\u00a0and a star in a plethora of other series and movies since 1996.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"DOCTOR STRANGE - Strange VS Kaecilius - Movie Clip (Movie HD)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/au_dWaJum_Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Best known as Galen Erso in <strong>Rogue One: A Star Wars Story<\/strong>, as Kaecilius in <strong>Doctor Strange<\/strong>, as Hannibal Lecter in the <strong>Hannibal<\/strong> series and much, much more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3229,"template":"","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_company_name":"","_job_title":"","_visit_me":"","_email":"","_linkedin":"","_twitter":"https:\/\/twitter.com\/theofficialmads","_facebook":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/theofficialmads\/","_instagram":"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/theofficialmads","_youtube":"","_imdb":"","footnotes":""},"edition":[],"guest_type":[78],"work":[31,32,33,34,35,36],"class_list":["post-4340","guest","type-guest","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","guest_type-actors","work-doctor-strange","work-hannibal","work-james-bond","work-polar","work-rogue-one-a-star-wars-story","work-star-wars"],"_cover_image":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.facts.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/guest\/4340","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.facts.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/guest"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.facts.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/guest"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.facts.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/guest\/4340\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17068,"href":"https:\/\/www.facts.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/guest\/4340\/revisions\/17068"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.facts.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.facts.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4340"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"edition","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.facts.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/edition?post=4340"},{"taxonomy":"guest_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.facts.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/guest_type?post=4340"},{"taxonomy":"work","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.facts.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work?post=4340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
