Anastasios Soulis is a Swedish actor born on 8 January 1987 in Stockholm, Sweden. He is the son of a Greek father, Georgios Soulis, and a Finnish mother, Katariina Nerg, giving him a multicultural heritage that has often informed his diverse role choices. From a young age he showed a passion for performance, landing his first screen credit at the age of thirteen in the 2000 family film Den bästa sommaren. Over the next few years he built a steady résumé, appearing in popular Swedish productions such as Hem ljuva hem (2001) and the teen‑drama Gryningsland (2001), demonstrating an early versatility that would become a hallmark of his career. Throughout the 2000s Soulis broadened his range with roles in crime dramas like Beck – Det tysta skriket (2007) and the gritty Johan Falk series, where he contributed to multiple installments between 2009 and 2012, showcasing his ability to handle complex, morally ambiguous characters. His performances in Les Grandes Personnes (2008) and the romantic comedy Bröllopsfotografen (2009) further highlighted his capacity for both dramatic depth and comedic timing, earning him recognition among Swedish audiences and industry peers alike. In the 2010s, Soulis continued to expand his portfolio with appearances in television series such as Maria Wern – Alla de stillsamma döda (2010) and the internationally co‑produced thriller Rendez‑vous à Kiruna (2013). He also ventured into more experimental cinema with the noir‑style Crimes of Passion (2013) and the holiday‑themed En underbar jävla jul (2015). More recently, he gained visibility in the Netflix series State of Happiness (Lykkeland, 2018) and the cyber‑thriller The Machinery (2020, 2022), as well as starring in the psychological horror film Red Dot (2021). Beyond his on‑screen work, Soulis is noted for his fluency in multiple languages, which stems from his Greek and Finnish roots, and for his ongoing commitment to supporting emerging Scandinavian talent through workshops and mentorship programs. His career, now spanning more than two decades, reflects a steadfast dedication to craft, an adaptable artistic vision, and a continual presence in both mainstream and niche projects across the Nordic film landscape.
