Happy Birthday: Michael Nyqvist

Michael Nyqvist

Born: November 8, 1960 in Stockholm, Stockholms län, Sweden

What Stieg Larsson was up to – it was the Swedish guilt over World War II. All of our neighbors had the most terrible experiences with the bad forces, but Sweden didn’t. I think we use the thrillers in a different way. We never write a thriller like ‘Who is the murderer?’ The big question in most of our thrillers is… ‘Why?’
