Peder Lindell is an American actor and commercial pilot who began his professional career at age eleven as Billy Ray in The Jungle Theater's production of On Golden Pond. Bain Boehlke and Wendy Lehr inspired a triple threat career which soon led to debuting in Broadway Reimagined's Gypsy at the Pantages Theater. Broadway World claims him to be "a fine young actor, he does a fabulous job on stage," the St. Paul Pioneer Press describes his acting as "impressive naturalism," whereas the Star Tribune says he has "the chops and charisma to keep us on his side."
Lindell is more than your typical actor. At age 16, he began his flight training and is now an instrument-rated multi-engine commercial pilot. His adventurous personality is credited to an extensive athletic background and curiosity of the world. As a multi-sport varsity athlete, he has experience in hockey, soccer, wrestling, diving, baseball, skateboarding, snow sports, water sports and is also an advanced certified scuba diver. His daredevil personality has led him into parkour, combat, and stunt training. One of the leading Theatrical Sword Experts in the world, Gregory Hoffman, has personally trained Peder in the use of different swords. Peder takes after idols such as Jackie Chan and performs his own stunts.
Peder has had a very unusual beginning. Growing up in the small artistic college town of Northfield, Minnesota, Peder developed his creative sensibility very young. At the age of five he auditioned for his first choir, by six, he was in The Northfield Youth Choir. Peder's vocal abilities caught the attention of The American Boychoir; he was asked to audition and later was accepted. Instead of attending boarding school, Peder chose to pursue his talents onstage. He brought his passion for singing into the opera. He was selected for the opera La Bohéme which led to several other classics including A Midsummer Night's Dream, Hansel und Gretel, Gianni Schicci, and more. As a young person, Peder was fortunate to have the opportunity to travel internationally and tour throughout Norway, England, and the United States performing in locales such as the Canterbury, Southwark, and Nidaros Cathedrals as well as Carnegie Hall; he returned to Carnegie 10 years later.
Peder's career quickly progressed. He developed a great passion for theater and opera and started to understudy and swing several major productions. His dedication was unmatched, in Gypsy, he would perform the show backstage while the live show was happening. His hard work caught the attention of the director, Peter Rothstein, who later cast him in Annie as well as one of the show stars, Tyler Michaels, who cast him as the lead in his production company's premiere of The Boy and Robin Hood. He began to build a name for himself in the Minneapolis theater scene. Peder's performance as ensemble, dance captain, and stunt double for the world premiere of hockey musical, The Abominables at the Children's Theater Company in Minneapolis received great notices, including from the New York Times. He returned as Who Boy and Young Max in Dr. Seuss's, How The Grinch Stole Christmas!, directed by Peter Brosius. Peder quickly got noticed by a talent agent in Minneapolis who proved to be vital in building his film career, casting in commercials and print work. Peder took hold of his career and starred in and helped produce the short film, Out Of My Hands (Catalina Film Festival), he returned to the festival in 2022 with Down The Drain, received a supporting actor nomination for his performance in Dead Cell, fought in the medieval fantasy series Hidden Falls, and more. Peder made the challenging move to Los Angeles to study Theatre Arts at Loyola Marymount University. He recently got the attention of Gerald Chamales, executive producer of The Irishman, who has been a great inspiration. He was also honored to have the opportunity to speak with and receive career advice from Liza Minnelli, Ben Vereen, and Wayne Brady after their standing ovations and encouraging exclamations of his performance as Bobby in Cabaret.
The possibilities are endless for his future which will definitely reach the sky.
