A Scandinavian actor known for Corridor (2012) Ego ( 2013 ) and Guidance ( 2009 ). He grew up in Botswana, Africa with five elder siblings, and parents working as doctors.

Coming back to Norway as a teenager, Emil started to pursue his acting career, and he left for New York City and Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute.
