Actor Joel Kinnaman has a packed schedule, with recent launches and ongoing projects across major streaming platforms. He stars as corrupt cop Tom Waaler in Netflix's 'Detective Hole,' a role that has inspired him to commit to at least one Swedish-language project every 18 months.
Kinnaman also headlines Prime Video's 'Bishop,' portraying a detective tracking a serial killer, and executive produces TNT's 'High Value Target.' This Iraq War drama, formerly 'Debriefing the President,' sees him as CIA agent John Nixon, who interrogated Saddam Hussein, offering a timely reflection on the war's origins.
Further adding to his diverse roles, Kinnaman has taken on projects for Apple TV, including 'Imperfect Women' and the fifth season of 'For All Mankind.' The latter series explores themes of Martian independence, class struggle, and immigration on the Red Planet.
He also features in A24's 'The Husbands,' a high-concept series where he plays one of Juno Temple's numerous spouses, each representing an alternate timeline. Kinnaman also expressed interest in directing future projects.
