The conversation shifts to a broader discussion on the role of women in film, both in front of and behind the camera, as Mikkelsen calls for greater utilization of the immense female talent pool sidelined by the industry. He also recounts his early career, from auditions where his words were less important than his energy to the ethical considerations of role selection. Mikkelsen concludes with thoughts on the importance of empathy in portraying complex characters and the need for nuanced storytelling that reflects the shades of humanity. His interview offers a glimpse into the mind of an actor who masterfully traverses the cinematic landscape, from the icy isolation of "Arctic" to the intoxicating dance of "Another Round".
