Biography
Michiel Huisman is a Dutch actor, musician, and singer-songwriter born in Amstelveen on 18 July 1981. His dual career began with music: he sang and played guitar for Fontane, a Dutch band that released singles and appeared on film soundtracks in the early 2000s before splitting. He then released a solo album and singles, establishing himself as a working musician.
His acting debut came via the Dutch soap opera Goede tijden, slechte tijden in 1998. Throughout the 2000s, he built a domestic profile in Dutch cinema—Costa! (2001), Phileine Says Sorry (2003), and the acclaimed Black Book (2006)—and television series De co-assistent (2007–10) and Bloedverwanten (2010). International breakthrough arrived in 2006 with a guest role on the British series Dalziel and Pascoe.
His Hollywood footprint expanded significantly: he played Sonny in HBO's New Orleans-set drama Treme, then replaced Ed Skrein as Daario Naharis in Game of Thrones as a series regular. Subsequent film roles included Wild (2014), The Ottoman Lieutenant (2017), and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (2018). He appeared in the Netflix limited series The Haunting of Hill House (2018) and the HBO Max comedy-thriller The Flight Attendant (2020), followed by a leading role in the Discovery Channel military drama Echo 3 (2022). As an actor, he performs across stage and screen, inhabiting character work that spans indie dramedy to large-ensemble prestige television.
