Mads Mikkelsen is perhaps best known for playing villains in "Casino Royale," "Doctor Strange," and the television series "Hannibal," but he’s also been called the "face of the resurgent Danish cinema,” culminating with his Best Actor win at Cannes for his work in Thomas Vinterberg's "The Hunt." In this half hour, he talks about performing some physically and emotionally wrenching scenes in two new movies he currently stars in, the pure survival film "Arctic," and the live action adaptation of the popular graphic novel "Polar." Warning: Spoilers abound. "Arctic" is in select theaters now. "Polar" is on Netflix.
