Rudi Køhnke, a Danish painter and sculptor's son, was born on May 10th, 1977. From a young age, he was surrounded by the world of art, which instilled in him a passion for creative expression. This passion led him to pursue a career in acting, and he attended various schools to hone his craft and explore his creative thinking.
Rudi's big break came in the summer of 2005, when he appeared in the Danish feature films "Angels in Fast Motion" (Nordkraft) and "Easy Skanking" (Fidibus). Since then, he has had a successful career in film, television, and short films, establishing himself as a well-known and respected actor in Denmark.
In recent years, Rudi has focused on feature films, with several lead roles in productions such as "The Birdcatcher's Son", which premiered in 95 theaters in Sweden in 2019. The film is set to be released internationally and has already received critical acclaim. Another upcoming project is the stylish horror-thriller "Victim of Love", a Danish-American feature film directed by Jesper Isaksen, which is currently in post-production and expected to premiere in 2019.
Short films have always held a special place in Rudi's heart, and he has been involved in numerous award-winning productions. In 2016, he won "Best Male Actor" at the prestigious Ekko Shortlist Awards for his role in "Ødeland", and in 2015, he won the same award for his performance in "Heavyweight" (Sværvægter) at the Filmkraft Film Festival.
Rudi has also made a successful transition to the stage, announcing his comeback at the Ekko Shortlist Awards in 2016. With a strong work ethic, physical training, and the support of the Panorama Agency, one of Denmark's most prestigious and well-established agencies, Rudi is poised to take his career to the next level and become a household name internationally.
