It's been a good year for Denmark's finest actor. In May he won Cannes' Best Actor Award and was recently recruited by NBC to star in the upcoming Hannibal TV series.

What a great series Hannibal has turned out to be! I'm currently re-watching the first two seasons and look forward to season 3 very much. It really has exceeded my expectations.

Mads was great in last year's "The Hunt"...should have received a Best Actor nomination, in my opinion.

Yes, I saw that too, very good. I also saw him in Pusher (1996), but that was a long time ago and one I need to watch again.

Didn't he play the villain in the remake of Casino Royale?

Yes, his role as Le Chiffre in the "Casino Royale" remake with Daniel Craig is probably the first exposure many Americans had to Mads Mikkelsen.

Ady, those first two Pusher films where he plays Tonny are very good. He also did a terrific job portraying Stravinsky in 2008's "Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky". Also recommended are "Flame & Citron", "Open Hearts", "A Royal Affair", and "Prague"...and any of his early Danish film or television work you can find.

Along with Daniel Auteuil, Michel Blanc, and Javier Bardem, Mads Mikkelsen is among my favourite foreign actors of recent vintage.
