Cloud Mountain, Jonathan Tufvesson, VJUS,

 Nordic Actor and Singer

Working where physical storytelling, music and emotional truth meet. 

 Based in Scandinavia, Sweden–Norway, I work across stage, screen and music.

 Bringing over twenty years of professional experience to each role. 

​

I was born in the winter of 1988 in Gothenburg, Sweden, and I hold dual Swedish and Norwegian citizenship. My passion for acting started in my early teens and led me into both television and short films at a young age. Over the following years I immersed myself in training, studying at three respected drama schools in Sweden - including a Bachelor in Acting and Musical Theatre from the Academy of Music & Drama in Gothenburg - while actively performing in productions on stage and in front of the camera.

​

My career now spans theatre, film, television, musicals, motion capture, concerts and voice-over work. On screen, I play the lead role of Alex in the feature film “They Talk”, available on Prime Video, and I have appeared in projects ranging from Nordic TV series and award-winning horror films to cinematic music videos. On stage, my roles include Niklas in “Elden”, one of Norway’s largest theatre productions, Jesus in “Godspell: Sweden Tour”, and Harry in the Norwegian premiere of “The One” by Vicky Jones. I also co-created and starred in the multi-award-winning music video “Övergivenheten” for Soilwork.​

Selected highlights:

​

• Lead role Alex in the feature film “They Talk

(Prime Video).


• Niklas in the large-scale Norwegian outdoor production “Elden”.


• Antagonist Karl in the play “Anna i Ødemarka”.


• Harry/Rune in the Norwegian premiere of “The One”

by Vicky Jones.


• Lead and co-creator of the multi-award-winning music video “Övergivenheten” for Soilwork.


• Title role in the Swedish tour of “Godspell” - nominated for Best Actor in a Musical (BroadwayWorld Sweden).


• Motion capture performance as Conan the Barbarian in a Funcom video game adaptation.
 

With a background in elite gymnastics and dance, I bring a strong physical presence and movement-based approach to my work. As a singer, my range spans musical theatre, classical, rock and pop, allowing me to move freely between different genres and storytelling styles. Beyond acting and singing, I have experience as a creative producer, drama teacher and consultant, which gives me a broader understanding of the full creative process – from first idea to finished performance.

As an artist I am drawn to projects that challenge me – physically, emotionally and creatively. I am interested in complex characters, strong visual storytelling and meaningful collaborations. Whether on a small intimate stage or in front of the camera for an international audience, my goal is always the same: to be truthful, present and to create work that leaves a lasting impression.

Education

2011-2014

The Academy of Music & Drama (Aka. Artisten)

Bachelor 180 p - Gothenburg University

Acting, Singing & Dance - Musical Theatre

Acting training rooted in the Stanislavski tradition and the Yat–Malmgren/Laban system, with a strong focus on text analysis, physical action and character work.  My bachelor’s thesis explored different approaches to acting psychology and theatre vs. screen acting. Voice and speech training drew from both classical and modern techniques, and I received extensive coaching in musical theatre repertoire. 

Dance training included ballet, jazz, contemporary and tap, building a strong foundation in musical staging and movement-based storytelling.
 

​

2009 - 2011

Wendelsberg Theater School

Folk High School

Acting, Singing & Certified Drama Pedagogue

One of Sweden’s oldest theatre folk high schools, Wendelsberg gave me a thorough, hands-on grounding in ensemble work and stagecraft. 

The programme combined acting, singing and drama pedagogy, and all students were involved in every part of the theatre process - from directing and devising to building sets and props. 

This period shaped me both as an actor and as a teacher, and gave me practical experience of working in a fully equipped theatre environment.
 

2004-2007

Mimers Hus Gymnasium

Upper Secondary School

Acting, Singing & Aesthetic Orientation

 This is where I first developed a daily stage practice, portraying a wide range of characters for my age. 

We worked with musicals, devised performances, cosplay-inspired projects and yearly Christmas shows, which sparked my long-term commitment to both acting and singing.

Soilwork, Övergivenheten, Jonathan Tufvesson, Actor, Foto by Johan Kuurne

My most recent work as a creative producer was on Anna i Ødemarka, where I led the development of the production’s trailers (see “Work” for details). Övergivenheten and Cloud Mountain are also key projects where I was involved from the very beginning – not only as a leading actor, but as an integral part of the production team, collaborating closely with directors and directors of photography.

Throughout my career I have taken on roles such as directing, scriptwriting and concept development. From shaping characters and costume design to crafting colour palettes and defining cinematic language, I thrive on solving creative challenges and bringing stories to life. My focus is always on high-quality, story-driven content that resonates with audiences.

​

Beyond my work as an actor and singer, my background spans several fields:

  • Teaching & Coaching - Drama teacher and vocal coach, leading masterclasses and mentoring private students.

  • Sales & Business Development - Experience in both B2B and B2C sales, including serving as a Key Account Manager in the Nordic media industry.

  • Athletics & Training - Former elite gymnast and gymnastics coach, with a strong foundation in movement and physical performance.

  • Consulting - Freelance consultant helping companies and individuals with strategy, communication and creative development.

​

Being able to merge artistic vision with clear strategy has helped me navigate multiple industries. Whether I am on stage, in front of the camera or supporting a project behind the scenes, my goal remains the same: to inspire, to create and to elevate the work.
