Mads Mikkelsen has established himself as an irresistible character actor. On one hand, through his appearances in Danish auteur films such as PUSHER by Nicolas Winding Refn, ADAM'S APPLES by Anders Thomas Jensen and THE HUNT by Thomas Vinterberg. But he has also made a name for himself in Hollywood and has inspired a wide audience - including in STAR WARS ROGUE ONE, INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY and the 007 adventure CASINO ROYALE. At the ZFF Masters, Mikkelsen presents his new film THE KING'S LAND and talks about his long career.
