show all Thure Frank Lindhardt was born 24 December 1974 in Copenhagen, Denmark. At 12 he was cast as the role of the mailman in "Negerkys og labre larver (1987)", and later that year he acted as a classmate in Billie August's film "Pelle erobreren (1987)",which in 1988 won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. In 1989 he played the lead role in the "The Neverending story" by Michael Ende in in Roskilde, Denmark. But it was a children's play. After the few small roles Thure had played he realized that he wanted to become a real actor. Lindhardt graduated from Odense Theatre School in 1998 and received his professional debut in Shopping and Fucking at Caféteatret that year. In 1999, Thure was named recipient of the Reumert Award for Best New Talent. He had roles in two TV productions showing the year 2000, Denmarks Radios _"Edderkoppen" (2000)(mini)_ a Tv series where he played the poor boy Billy and in the Lars Von Trier-produced family saga "Morten Korch - Ved stillebækken" (1999)". His first notable role was that of Brian in "Her i nærheden (2000)", directed by _Kaspar Rostrup_, written by the novel of the same name of Martha Christensen and produced by Tina Dalhoff. The film featured in the official selection at the 50th Berlin Film Festival. He played the lead as an autistic boy who is suspected of murder, and he received rave reviews for his performance and was named Shooting Star at the festival. This was followed by _Shaky González_'s film "One Hell of a Christmas (2002)" where he played the part as the young cool criminal Mike. Later the year 2002 he got the offer to play Slim in the Ballerin brothers very special modern film Slim Slam Slum. But the film really tested very poorly, with the young audiences, and it became a Danish, bottom 10 comedy film. But in 2004 he did a outstanding job as the role as Hans in the German movie "Was nützt die Liebe in Gedanken (2004)" - the latter of which brought him to the public's attention. He is now one of the most critically acclaimed actors of his generation, and portrays the weird junkie boy Steso in Ole Christian Madsen's fantastic film "Nordkraft (2005)".
