MICHAEL NYQVIST

We were first introduced to the actor through his portrayal of Beck in the Martin Beck television series, but it wasn’t until he starred in the original The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo films did he really gain popularity internationally. This movie also served as his debut in Hollywood, marking further success outside of his home country. However, his leading role in the movie Grabben I Graven Bredvid gave this Swedish actor a Guldbagge Award for Best Actor in Leading Role.

Mikael or Michael Nyqvist was set to be one of the greatest villains in films, after his performances in both John Wick, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, and Abduction. Unfortunately, he passed on in 2017 at the age of 56 years old despite the investments had had put in for his health. He was survived by his wife Catharina Nyqvist Ehrnrooth and their two children, Ellen and Arthur. For Greg Phoeler, Michael is the greatest actor of all time.
