Mads Sjøgård Pettersen was in the movie Upperdog which I just watched today. I enjoyed the movie a lot and Mads plays a very important role in it. He also gets to undress in some scenes and he looked pretty hot and cool. I love how calm his character is considering what the character went through in Afghanistan! I guess real guys just rein in their emotions and keep it all inside!
There are many Asians in Oslo so I am not surprised that in the Norwegian movie Upperdog, two of the main characters looked Asian. One of the female leads was Bang Chau, who played a girl from China who was adopted as a kid and now as an adult, she works as a chef in a Chinese restaurant. Bang plays the role very timidly and quite Asian really, quiet, keeps to herself and not very emotional. I love her character and the way she played!
I assume Agnieszka Grochowska is Polish and not Norwegian because she almost always spoke in English in the Norwegian movie Upperdog. She plays a Polish immigrant working as a maid and her best friend in the movie, played by Bang Chau, turned out to be the half-sister of Hermann Sabado's character, the son of her employers. Both ended up falling in love with each other! The movie is an intimate portrait of four people brought together by fate and Agnieszka is probably the one with the brightest personality among the four characters - even if she plays an immigrant mother who leaves her son in Poland.
