Noomi Rapace

Born in Hudiksval in 1979, Noomi Rapace began a career in film and television from an early age. Her first role was an uncredited part in Hrafn Gunnlaugsson's 1988 film 'I Skugga Hrafnsins' ('In the Shadow of the Raven').

She enrolled in film school in Sweden at the age of fifteen, gaining her first television role two years later; playing the part of Lucinda Gonzales in TV4's soap opera 'Tre Kronor'. She stayed with the show for a year before moving on to play parts in a number of other mini series and TV movies; including 2004's 'Älskar, älskar och älskar'.

'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' was her first major film role, bringing her worldwide acclaim, including two Scandinavian film awards for Best Actress and a corresponding nomination at the European Film Awards.
