From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Peter Stormare [â–¶]help (born August 27, 1953) is a Swedish-born film actor. With his fluency in English and his skill for mimicking accents he has become much in demand in Hollywood productions, where he usually plays Europeans of varied nationality and often of dubious (or nonexistent) morality.
He was born as "Peter Storm", but since a senior student at the acting academy also was named Peter Storm he had to change his name. His original choice of name, Retep Mrots, was rejected. He is the godfather of Gustaf Skarsgård and plays in a band called Blonde From Fargo. In Constantine (2005), Peter Stormare played a particularly loathesome and memorable version of Satan. He was critically praised for his role as a quiet and ruthless villain (with Steve Buscemi) in Fargo (1996), and played a sleazy unlicensed "eye doctor" ("Solomon Eddie") in Minority Report.
