Pilou Asbæk

Pilou Asbæk, born 2 March 1982, is a Danish actor whose versatile screen presence has marked him as a fixture in both television and film. From his menacing portrayal of Euron Greyjoy in "Game of Thrones" to his supporting roles in high-profile Hollywood productions like "Ben-Hur," "The Great Wall," "Ghost in the Shell," and "Overlord," Asbæk demonstrates a knack for playing morally ambiguous characters. His performance as a spin doctor in the political drama "Borgen" further underscores his ability to navigate complex narrative landscapes. Notably, he received the Shooting Stars Award at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2011, and in 2014, he co-hosted the Eurovision Song Contest in Copenhagen, though the event was marred by baffling humor that drew criticism from viewers.
