Early life[edit]

Lucas Lynggaard Tønnesen was born in Copenhagen, Denmark. He has a younger sister, who is an acrobat. At the age of nine, he enrolled in a singing school in Copenhagen, joining a choir and travelling the world.[6] In the summer of 2012, his father sent a recording of him singing to an audition, which landed Tønnesen the leading role in a theatre play called Cirkus Summarum. Following this, Tønnesen expressed a deep interest in acting.[6][7]

Tønnesen began his career in film in the Danish comedy Player.[1] He went on to appear in the film The Keeper of Lost Causes.[8]

In 2014, he made his way into television by playing a regular role in the Danish series Tidsrejsen.[3] In 2015, he starred as Oliver in the short film I Stykker. He resumed his foray into acting in 2018, taking on the role of Rasmus Andersen in the first Netflix Danish series, The Rain at the age of sixteen.[2] The series ran for three seasons, until 2020.[2][3][4][9][10]

Tønnesen went on to star in multiple short films in subsequent years. In 2022, he took on a recurring role in a Netflix co-production series, Borgen – Power & Glory, as Magnus Nyborg Christensen.[5][11] He later starred in the multilingual Netflix mystery-horror series 1899, created by Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese.[12][13][14]
