Swedish actor who I discovered from AMC's The Killing, where he did a fabulous job playing one of the lead detectives, Stephen "Holder". Just landed the lead role in the remake of Robocop, so hopefully his star is on the rise.

He's fantastic in The Killing and I knew it would only be a matter of time before he hit it big. One of the best and most interesting actors on TV right now.
 
Joel Kinnaman Lastest to Join Terrence Malick's 'Knight Of Cups'

At this point it feels like we should be reporting on who isn’t joining the ensemble of Terrence Malick‘s Knight of Cups, but nonetheless another actor has decided to join in on the fun. While their films squared off last month with Easy Money and The Dark Knight Rises, Joel Kinnaman will now join Christian Bale in the upcoming feature. The RoboCop remake lead confirmed his involvement in an interview with the Swedish outlet Svd, where he will play “a rich playboy” alongside’s Bale’s “depressed writer” character. Nothing else is known and suprisingly no set pictures of The Killing actor have surfaced, the major way we’ve learned much of the cast have joined; and those members include, but are certainly not limited to Cate Blanchett, Wes Bentley, Freida Pinto, Isabel Lucas, Imogen Poots, Teresa Palmer, Joe Manganiello and Ryan O’Neal.

We’ve also got confirmation of Antonio Banderas‘ involvement in the film, after some early rumors, as extra Brett Anderson shared he has scenes with the star, as well as Bale. He also mentioned a June 2013 release date for the film, which is of course far from confirmed considering the lack of distribution and Malick’s usual work routine. Plus, actors seem to be the last to know when their film will actually hit screens.

In fact, his next film To the Wonder, which is set to premiere in just a few weeks at Venice also has yet to get acquired, so hopefully we’ll get word on that, as well as more info on this one soon. In the meantime, this Knight of Cups shoot has pretty much resulted in a free-for-all when it comes to reveals of Malick, so see some photos below thanks to One Big Soul, also featuring other cast members such as Bale, Pinto and Lucas.

Joel Kinnaman's Super Swede Life

The handsome star of The Killing gets candid about staying humble in Hollywood






Joel Kinnaman was 10 years old the day he soured on fame. He was the goalkeeper on his youth soccer team in Sweden and had just allowed the opposing team to score. “I was so pissed at myself,” he recalls. The whole stadium started chanting a name, but it was not his—not exactly. It was his television alter ego’s. Kinnaman spent the previous year acting on a Swedish soap, and in a country with only two television channels, he’d become something of a star. “I was so embarrassed,” he says. “And I felt, This is wrong.”

After that, Kinnaman took a long break from acting. He spent his twenties working jobs in construction, insurance, a bar in the French Alps and a factory in Norway. He’d work double night shifts for months in order to take off and travel for four or five months at a time—alone. As one of six children—and the only boy—Kinnaman says he’d always had trouble being by himself and saw that “as a weakness” (though he admits he’d occasionally give in and “find a girl” to travel with). “For a long time, I had a life aside from acting,” he says. “I lived my life. I had my heart broken and loved again before any of this happened.” (His new love is actress Olivia Munn, by the way.)

But traveling the world is a younger man’s sport, and in 2005 Kinnaman returned to Sweden to study acting at the Swedish Academic School of Drama. Following a number of high-profile roles back home, Kinnaman, now 32, has become a fan favorite in the States for his portrayal of badass cop Stephen Holder on AMC’s The Killing, and for small but memorable parts in thrillers The Darkest Hour and Safe House.

Next he re-creates an iconic ’80s cyborg in the highly anticipated remake of RoboCop, alongside Gary Oldman and Samuel L. Jackson. To keep himself grounded, so to speak, with the Hollywood of it all, he’s taken up the local pastime: surfing. “When I catch that wave, I feel like, I’m doing it!” he says. “Nothing is more powerful than the ocean.” Not even fame.

Oh wow I didn't know he had a thread here. He's such a cutie.

I too was not happy when I found out he was dating Olivia Munn. She seems like such an airhead.
