Mads Mikkelsen Reflects On His Career, Wants To Work With Meryl Streep, Robert De Niro
etcanada.comMads Mikkelsen reflected on his career at the Sarajevo Film Festival in Bosnia And Herzegovina over the weekend, discussing his lengthy career and which three actors he dreams of working with next.
The Danish film and TV star was this year’s recipient of the Honorary Heart of Sarajevo Award for his outstanding contribution to the art of film.
During a conversation in front of fans, Mikkelsen, 56, was asked to name his top three actors — a question that truly stumped the “Hannibal” star. “I will only have three friends if I answer that question, and I will get a thousand enemies, right?” he joked. “There are so many fantastic actors that I’ve worked with a lot back home, and there are many more out there.” Changing the topic slightly to include the three actors he would like to work with next, Mikkelsen said, “One guy I’ve always wanted to work with is a French actor called Vincent Cassel.
I think he’s amazing. I grew up with Robert De Niro, and if I could have Meryl Streep on the team, well, that would be great.” READ MORE: Mads Mikkelsen Admits He’s No Fan Of Method Acting: ‘It’s Bulls**t’ A staple in Danish films, Mikkelsen’s English-language breakout role came as the villain Le Chiffre in 2006’s James Bond movie “Casino Royale”.
