Mini bio
Thure Frank Lindhardt was born 24 December 1974 in Copenhagen, Denmark. At 12, he was cast as the role of the mailman in Negerkys og labre larver (1987), and later that year, he acted as a classmate in Bille August's film Pelle the Conqueror (1987), which, in 1988, won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. In 1989, he played the lead role in the "The Neverending Story" by Michael Ende in Roskilde, Denmark. But it was a children's play. After the few small roles Thure had played, he realized that he wanted to become a real actor.

Lindhardt graduated from Odense Theatre School in 1998. In 1999, Thure was named recipient of the Reumert Award for Best New Talent. He had roles in two TV productions showing the year 2000, Denmarks Radios Edderkoppen (2000) a TV series where he played the poor boy Billy and in the Lars von Trier-produced family saga Morten Korch - Ved stillebækken (1999).

His first notable role was that of Brian in A Place Nearby (2000), directed by Kaspar Rostrup, written by the novel of the same name of 'Martha Christensen' and produced byTina Dalhoff. The film featured in the official selection at the 50th Berlin Film Festival. He played the lead as an autistic boy who is suspected of murder, and he received rave reviews for his performance and was named Shooting Star at the festival. This was followed by Shaky González's film One Hell of a Christmas (2002) where he played the part as the young cool criminal Mike. Later in the year 2002, he got the offer to play Slim in the Ballerin brothers' very special modern film Slim Slam Slum (2002). But the film really tested very poorly with the young audiences, and it became a Danish, bottom-10 comedy film. But in 2004, he did an outstanding job in the role of Hans in the German movie Love in Thoughts (2004)--the latter of which brought him to the public's attention.

He is now one of the most critically acclaimed actors of his generation and portrays the weird junkie boy Steso in Ole Christian Madsen's fantastic film Nordkraft (2005).

Personal Quotes

"For me the role was a large challenge, because Hans is very physical and spontaneous. Hans is a unbekuemmerter type, which says, what he means, and does which he wants. It is not common or calculating, but he follows simply his feelings and takes themselves, according to which he is." -About his character Hans in Was nützt die Liebe in Gedanken.
"On the one hand it means much that this is a true history. I took that from the outset very seriously, because I would like to render the necessary respect to the person, whom I represent, with my representation. I read much over the time, in which the five lived, because I find, in order a figure, their motives and reactions to understand, one must understand also their time. On the other hand film is an art form, and also its one must be conscious." - About his preparation to Was nützt die Liebe in Gedanken.
"I knew the cartoon comic, before I heard anything about the film. And at the time I wore doing another film-project with Wise Guy Productions. I think it's a quite of a funny environmental part of life to show in a Danish movie. It's obviously not like the same stuff as in the USA. I really think that the Danish people need a lot more movies like this kind of a film, with an audience target like 17-23, and not movies like a boy which meet a girl and then just love." About what he thinks of the film Slim Slam Slum (2002).
Berlin was a very good thing for me in many ways. It opened up my mind to the world" - speaking of his experience as a Shooting Star in 2000
