Biografi
A Danish-American actor and writer born to a diplomat couple in Prague, Erik Svane lives (and works) between Paris and Rio de Janeiro. Beside being fluent in (American) English, French, and Danish, he has a good understanding of Portuguese, German, and Italian, and integrates foreign languages and dialects effortlessly. His training includes three workshops with Jack Waltzer of the Actors Studio, l'École Nouvelle du Théâtre (both in Paris), and classes at Southern Methodist University (Dallas, Texas). He is proficient in horseback riding, speed-climbing, dancing, karate, and numerous nautical sports, and performs his own stunts. From 2002 to 2003, he spent six months in the Caribbean, playing the lead role in a musical comedy he helped write for a theater on the island of Saint Martin.
Besides his acting career, Erik Svane has written a book, "La Bannière Étalée," as well as the script for a graphic novel series (drawn by Dan Greenberg), "Général Leonardo" (two volumes so far: "Au Service du Vatican" and "Croisade vers la Terre Sainte"). He has written the graphic novel biography of Denmarks's Queen H.M. Queen Margrethe of Denmark with artist Thierry Capezzone, "Daisy--En Prinsesse i Danmark", and he is working on several screenplays, including a western, a biography of Abraham Lincoln, a romantic action movie set in 19th-century Brazil, and a fictional account of an American unit in Afghanistan after 9-11.
