Fares Fares

Fares Fares is a wonderful example of an actor whose multicultural background became his greatest asset. Born 1973 in Beirut and raised in Sweden, he moves seamlessly between Swedish, Danish and English-language work, and you have probably seen him in Chernobyl or The Wheel of Time. The awards back the instinct: a Guldbagge for Best Actor and two Robert Awards for supporting roles. His collaborations with director Tarik Saleh are where I find him most magnetic, doing tense, restrained, morally murky work. Actors who can carry that Middle Eastern and Nordic duality have a register others simply cannot reach. He is one of the most quietly versatile working today.
