I'm Jonathan Thomas Tufvesson Larsson, born in the winter of 1988 in Gothenburg, Sweden. I'm an actor who proudly hold dual citizenship in both Sweden and Norway. My journey in the entertainment industry has unfolded over two decades. It began during my early teens, where I found my place both on the stage and in front of the camera. Over the span of eight years, I dedicated myself to honing my craft, attending three different drama schools in Sweden while simultaneously contributing to various productions. Now I've built a strong resumé spanning everything from theater to motion pictures, TV, musicals, motion capture, concerts, voice-overs, and beyond. As a charismatic character I've also represented major brands worldwide and in Scandinavia. (See Commercial Reel & Showreel).
My most recent international film lead role took center stage in the feature film "They Talk" on Prime Video. Following that, I had the privilege of acting in and co-creating the award-winning music video "Övergivenheten" for Soilwork. My most recent roles includes the antagonist Karl in "Anna i ødemarka" and Harry in "The One" by VIcky Jones, two Norwegian stage productions. This summer I'm starring as Niklas in "Elden", one of Norways biggest theatre productions.
I have a diverse skill set and a physical foundation that stems from a long background in elite gymnastics and dance. I'm a strong singer of musical, classical music to rock and pop culture. As an ever-evolving talent, I embrace my role as a skilled craftsman, capable of painting with countless colors. I stand as a force among the up-and-coming new generation of actors, ready to make my mark on the ever-evolving landscape of entertainment.
