Lisa Carlehed

Lisa Carlehed, born smack in the middle of July 1979, straight outta Gothenburg, Sweden—yeah, that city with all those canals and trams—has been making some serious waves in the acting world. If you've watched any Scandinavian cinema in the last few years, odds are, you've caught her doing her thing. She’s not just some background extra, either; Lisa's been front and center in some pretty heavy-hitting films. Remember "Quisling" from 2024? That’s her. She was also the heart and soul of "The Emigrants" (2021)—that film that made everyone consider moving to the countryside and growing potatoes. And don’t forget "Tack för senast" in 2022, which, if you ask anyone who’s seen it, was basically a masterclass in awkward, deeply relatable comedy. Off-screen, Lisa’s got her life pretty dialed in, too. She’s married to Nicolei Faber—yeah, that Nicolei Faber, who’s got his own following—and together they’re raising two kids, managing to juggle family stuff with the unpredictability of film shoots and press tours. Honestly, it’s impressive she can keep it all together, considering the circus that is show business. Gothenburg might be her hometown, but her talent’s clearly got international reach. People in the industry talk about her versatility—she can pull off drama, comedy, whatever you throw at her, with that low-key Nordic coolness that’s hard to fake. Not a bad gig, if you can get it.
