Jonathan Thomas Tufvesson Larsson
I was born in the winter of 1988 in Gothenburg, Sweden, and I hold dual citizenship in Sweden and Norway. With over two decades in the entertainment industry, my passion for performance ignited in my early teens, leading me to immerse myself both on stage and in front of the camera. Over the course of eight years, I honed my craft at three distinguished drama schools in Sweden while actively contributing to various productions.
​
My career spans theater, film, television, musicals, motion capture, concerts, and voice-over work. As a front-facing figure, I have represented major brands across Scandinavia and globally. My most recent international lead role as Alex in the feature film "They Talk" is available on Prime Video. On stage, I portrayed Niklas in "Elden", one of Norway's most significant theater productions, the antagonist Karl in "Anna i Ødemarka", and Harry in "The One" by Vicky Jones. Additionally, I co-created and starred in the award-winning music video "Övergivenheten" for Soilwork. (See "Work" for more.)
​
With a background in elite gymnastics and dance, I bring a strong physicality and movement-based approach to my performances. My vocal versatility spans musical theater, classical, rock, and pop genres, allowing me to adapt seamlessly across styles and storytelling formats.
As an artist, I continually push creative boundaries, embracing new challenges and embodying a diverse spectrum of characters and emotions. I am committed to making a lasting impact in the ever-evolving landscape of entertainment.

My most recent endeavor as a creative producer was on Anna i Ødemarka, where I spearheaded the development of the production’s trailers (see "Work" for details). Övergivenheten and Cloud Mountain are also recent projects where I was involved from the very inception, contributing not only as a leading actor but also as a core part of the production team, collaborating closely with Directors of Photography and Directors.
Throughout my journey, I have taken on roles such as directing, scriptwriting, and concept development. From shaping characters and costume designs to crafting color themes and defining cinematic language, I thrive on solving creative challenges and bringing stories to life. My commitment lies in creating high-quality, story-driven content that resonates with a global audience. Drawing from extensive experience across multiple domains, I offer strategic expertise to help clients achieve their goals, foster growth, and unlock their full potential.
