Kristoffer Joner: My Dreamboat and Probably the Best Actor You Have Never Heard Of

Most American women think that Johnny Depp is the most versatile and the most beautiful actor in cinema today. I am going to challenge that idea by introducing you all to a gorgeous Scandinavian. Unless you watch an unhealthy amount of foreign cinema ( like me) then you probably don't know who the hell Kristoffer Joner is. Well, YOU SHOULD! Born on September 19, 1972 in Stravanger, Norway, this guy can make you laugh until you start choking on your salty snack, cry when really don't want to, and shock you into mild paranoia. Plus, he has that certain je ne sais quoi that is really sexy ( kind of like Willem Dafoe).
All of his films are in Norwegian, so you are going to have to read subtitles, but it is worth it. Before I get into some of my favorite performances of his I just want to say that depending on what movie you watch first, Kris might take some getting used to. When I first saw him in Next Door (2005) I was a little weary because the constant confusion of his character was done really well. I really thought he was that character. Of course like every good actor that was what he supposed to do as I learned by watching him  in Tomme tonner (2010), a comedic crime film. The scene involving him having a conversation with a bird is genius. The role that really sealed my admiration for this Norse beauty was his role as Kai in 2005's Kissed by Winter. His character is trying to deal with responsibility and guilt as well the accepting good fortune after journeying through a traumatic event. You will absolutely melt after seeing him in this film. He panders to the desire to heal the emotionally wounded good looking guy crowd. Even if you don't think you are part of that crowd in the end you will be. He somewhat goes with that thought in a different direction in Hidden (2009). He comes off as a victim who can't deal with his past, we find out there is more to the story than we had originally thought. The movie isn't the best, but he is worth the rental fee. I This list is really only the stem of his career. I go on and on about how much I adore him, but I want you to see for yourselves. After watching some of theses you will saying "Johnny who?" I'll keep trying to introduce more new faces for y'all as this blog continues. Until here's more Norwegian eye candy for you.

Yummy!

That's some sexy bedhead.

Ain't he a good lookin' boy?
