Biography

After several years of employment at the theatre, he established himself as a freelance actor.

Lars Lunøe was the son of a district court prosecutor and considered studying law before choosing the theater path.

Lars Lunøe has been since the 1960s one of the biggest villains in Danish film.

"The villainous and demonic lies before him. There is a strange mixture of cynicism and melancholy in the sunken gaze, his cultured diction often has an undertone of the satanic or sardonic, and his body can appear both menacing and strangely old man-like, even in his early roles. A handsome man with a powerful radiance of something slightly decadent", wrote film reviewer Morten Piil about Lunøe in 'Danish Filmskuespillere' from 2003.

He graduated from Aarhus Theater's student school in 1960.
