My Take
Pilou Asbæk has a magnetism I keep returning to. He earned his stripes at home first, sweeping both the Bodil and Robert best-actor awards in 2011 for his work, including the sharp-tongued spin doctor Kasper Juul in Borgen, before global audiences met him as the brutal Euron Greyjoy in Game of Thrones. There is a danger and a sly charm to his villains that makes them impossible to look away from. I respect how he broke out of a small national film scene into major international productions, and his range, including voice work, suggests an actor who is only getting more interesting.
