The Danish ‘Fantastic Beasts' star explains how he's mastered playing franchise villains in Hollywood, gives insider details about his role as Grindelwald and talks the long-awaited 'Indiana Jones 5.'
“Often when it comes to the villain, I think that the more we can persuade the audience to listen and make a fraction of what the character is saying make sense, the more interesting the character is to look at,” the 56-year-old Mikkelsen explains during a Zoom call from Copenhagen, where he is dressed in casual loungewear and smoking a cigarette.
The son of a nurse and a bank teller, Mikkelsen became a gymnast and then a professional ballet dancer before he switched to studying acting at the relatively late age of 31. He has said he was more in love with the drama of dancing than the act of it. Those years spent rolling, leaping and pirouetting have affected him as an actor. “Dancing has helped when it comes to my awareness in a room — how heavy or light is a character, slow or fast — but I rarely think about it,” he says.
