Daniel Lundh is an actor, writer and artist born in Malmö, Sweden. He is of Swedish, Russian and German ancestry on his father's side, the late actor and Old Masters specialist Lennart Lundh. His mother, Hélène, is French of Spanish Sephardic roots. While growing up in Sweden and France, Daniel attended British and American schools from a young age. He is thus a native speaker in English, French, Spanish and Swedish. Daniel also speaks Hebrew and some Arabic, which he has learned for specific roles. It was not unusual for the family to travel across Europe and America in a motor-home, exposing Daniel to different cultures and walks of life. At nineteen, he moved to New York and enrolled at The Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute and H.B.Studios, while occasionally sitting in at The Actors Studio. Following a few years on stage, Daniel got his first film role in O Jerusalem (2006), directed by Élie Chouraqui. The next year his breakthrough performance as the brooding, melancholic, son of a brothel Madam in Délice Paloma (2007) garnered him a César nomination for most promising talent. Thereafter, Daniel embodied the vengeful bastard Massimo in the French screen adaptation of King Lear, as well as one of Saddam Hussein's doomed son-in-laws in the BBC & HBO joint venture House of Saddam (2008). In his next project, Daniel joined Jean Reno and the ensemble cast of L'immortel (2010), in EuropaCorp's gangster thriller produced by Luc Besson. He gave life to Spanish bullfighter Juan Belmonte in Woody Allen's Oscar-nominated, world-wide, box-office hit : Midnight in Paris (2011). Daniel recently starred back-to-back in the successful Spanish Netflix series, Alta mar (2019) and Tiempos de guerra (2017). Other projects include British twelfth-century historical drama Glow & Darkness, set in Spain and Italy, where he plays the two contrasting roles of Prince Ferdinand of Navarra and Governor Mario.
