Rudi Køhnke was born on May 10th in 1977 by a Danish painter and sculptor. He was brought up in the name of art and he always knew that he wanted to be an actor. He went to various schools to explore his creative thinking.

He is a well-established actor in Denmark with a huge international potential.
His latest work consists of several leads in feature films. Among them is "The Birdcatcher's Son" which premiered in 2019 in 95 theaters in Sweden.
