History Creator / PeterStormare

* AwesomeDearBoy: Peter Stormare cameos in the music video for Music/{{Sabaton}}'s song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzeNBRbWXpI "Uprising"]] as the unnamed German Army officer leading the crackdown on the Polish Resistance. According to bassist Pär Sundström, Stormare found the offer in a pile of offers he got from his agent when he was looking for his next gig, and just thought the idea was really cool.

Rolf Peter Ingvar Storm (born August 27, 1953), better-known by his stage name Peter Stormare, is a [[UsefulNotes/{{Sweden}} Swedish]] character actor with supporting roles in film, live TV and video games and animated shows. Dude showed up in Nickelodeon's ''Ninja Turtles'' of all places.

He made his name playing one of the StupidCrooks in ''Fargo''. Americans may also recognize him as one of the dino-hunters in ''Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark''. Apart from that, this guy always gets [[PlaysGreatEthnics typecast as Russians or Ukrainians.]]

Oddly, the smaller the role, the more memorable his characters tend to be. Peter Stormare (a devout Christian in real-life) is one of the best depictions of {{Satan}} in cinema....and it's in ''Film/{{Constantine|2005}}''? (Implying that Creator/KeanuReeves and Creator/ShiaLaBeouf didn't turn in powerhouse performances.) He literally [[OneSceneWonder shows up in the last 10 minutes and steals the movie]]. Easily one of his best; maybe ''the'' best.

[[AC:Video games]]

* ''[[VideoGame/LEGOAdaptationGame LEGO]] Film/JurassicWorld'' (2015) as Dieter Stark

* ''Film/{{Armageddon}}'' (1998) as Lev Andropov

** And of course the Russian astronaut in ''Film/{{Armageddon}}''.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: He was born with one of these, and his current one, although a slight variation, is no less awesome.

* StageNames: Arguably one of the few actors whose real name (''[[AwesomeMcCoolname Rolf Ingvar Storm]]'') is cooler than his stage name.

* ''Film/BadCompany2002'' (2002) as Adrik Vas

* ''Film/{{Constantine}}'' (2005) as Lucifer

Even in Sweden he was not allowed to use his real accent for a role until ''Varg'' in 2008. Nowadays, he only accepts Swedish roles where he is allowed to use his real northern Swedish accent.
