BIOGRAPHY OF MICHIEL HUISMAN

Michiel Huisman was born on July 18, 1981 in Amstelveen, Noord-Holland, near Amsterdam. Before Game of Thrones (2011), Huisman had a role in Paul Verhoeven’s famous Black Book (2006), and he played Rudolf Nureyev in the BBC TV movie Margot (2009) about prima ballerina Margot Fonteyn.

Before becoming ubiquitous on television, Huisman also played in a band called Fontaine who wrote music for soundtracks. (Huisman released a solo album in 2005.) Huisman combined his acting and musical talents on the show Treme (2010), where he played drug-addicted musician Sonny. Then came Huisman’s big break in one of cable’s hottest shows, Game of Thrones (2011), where he reprized the role of Daario Naharis.

Huisman was given plenty of leeway to approach the character and reinterpret Daario in his own way. The creators of Game of Thrones (2011) felt that viewers would adapt well to the cast transition, and Huisman was indeed accepted by fans of the show.

Huisman had the distinction of being on three major shows at the same time, namely “Thrones,” the country music drama Nashville (2012), where he played producer Liam McGuiniss, and the sci-fi series Orphan Black (2013 ), where he played Cal Morrison, a human interacting with clones. Huisman has also worked regularly in films such as Brad Pitt’s World War Z (2013) and the hit adaptation Wild (2014), starring Reese Witherspoon.

MICHIEL HUISMAN GOT

Michiel Huisman is a Dutch actor who portrays Daario Naharis from the fourth season and beyond of Game of Thrones. Huisman replaced Ed Skrein, who played the character in season three. Huisman originally joined season 4 as a guest star, but was promoted to the main cast for the fifth season, even before season 4 aired in 2014.

He was part of the main cast for the sixth season. Huisman’s interpretation of Daario was a more traditional ‘lovable rogue’ type character than Skrein’s more esoteric portrayal. Huisman made several appearances in Dutch films before moving to the United States. He appeared with Carice van Houten in the film Black Book (2006).

He starred in the HBO series Treme (2010-2013) and had recurring roles on the ABC series Nashville (2012-2014) and the BBC America/Space series Orphan Black (2014-2015). Huisman also had supporting roles in several American films like The Young Victoria (2009), World War Z (2013) and Wild (2014). He played the lead role in the fantasy romance film The Age of Adaline (2015), which marked Huisman’s first starring role in a Hollywood production.

Huisman was originally supposed to star in the upcoming 2016 horror film The Forest with his Game of Thrones co-star Natalie Dormer, but had to pull out of production due to scheduling difficulties. His role in the film was eventually replaced by American actor Taylor Kinney

Huisman has been cast in a Discovery Channel limited series called Harley and the Davidsons with Game of Thrones co-star Robert Aramayo. The series will focus on the founding of motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson, where Huisman will play Walter Davidson and Aramayo as William S. Harley.

She goes to visit him, but he says he doesn’t talk about “moms and SUVs.” She returns the next day and impresses with some knowledge of her music, despite being a mom with an SUV. He invites her over and persuades her to drink.

The next day, she doesn’t remember what they did that night. He told her it had been magic. What kind of magic, she wondered. The right kind: He had made a video of her singing with the new sound she hoped he would help her find.

MICHIEL HUISMAN WORLD WAR Z

World War Z is a 2013 American apocalyptic action horror film [7] directed by Marc Forster. The screenplay by Matthew Michael Carnahan, Drew Goddard and Damon Lindelof is from a screenplay by Carnahan and J. Michael Straczynski, based on the 2006 novel of the same name by Max Brooks. The film stars Brad Pitt as Gerry Lane, a former United Nations investigator who must travel the world to find a way to stop a zombie pandemic.

Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment secured the film rights in 2007, and Forster was approached to direct. In 2009, Carnahan was hired to rewrite the screenplay. Filming began in July 2011 in Malta, with an estimated budget of $125 million, before moving to Glasgow in August 2011 and Budapest in October 2011. Originally slated for a December 2012 release, the production suffered some setbacks .

In June 2012, the film’s release date was pushed back and the crew returned to Budapest for another seven weeks of filming. Damon Lindelof was hired to rewrite the third act, but did not have time to complete the script, and Drew Goddard was hired to rewrite it. The retakes took place between September and October 2012.

World War Z premiered in London on June 3, 2013 and was chosen to open the 35th Moscow International Film Festival. The film premiered in New York and Los Angeles on June 14, 2013, and was released everywhere on June 21, 2013, in the United States, in 2D and RealD 3D.

The film received positive reviews for Brad Pitt’s performance and as a realistic revival of the zombie genre, but received some criticism for the anti-climax and outdated CGI. Regardless, the film was a commercial success, grossing over $540 million against a production budget of $190 million, becoming the highest-grossing zombie film of all time. A sequel was announced shortly after the film’s release and is currently in production.
