Peter Stormare

Rolf Peter Ingvar Storm , known professionally as Peter Stormare , is a Swedish actor, voice actor, theatre director, playwright, and musician. He is probably known for playing Gaear Grimsrud in the 1996 film Fargo. He is also well known for his role as John Abruzzi in the Fox series Prison Break.

Stormare was born in Kumla, Nrke, Sweden and grew up in Arbr, Hlsingland. He changed his surname when he discovered that he shared it with a senior student at an acting academy. Like storm , stormare is a Swedish word, meaning stormer. Before settling on Stormare, he briefly contemplated changing his name to Mrots Retep, which is simply Peter Storm backwards.
