Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, the Danish actor best known for playing the conflicted, sardonic Jaime Lannister on HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” was eager for his latest film to premiere at South by Southwest last March. In “The Silencing,” Coster-Waldau portrays a solitary hunter who lives in the woods, grappling with the disappearance — and likely murder — of his daughter.
But just a few days before the premiere, the film festival in Texas was canceled as coronavirus cases swept through the United States. Later in the spring, Coster-Waldau was scheduled to be onstage in Los Angeles, in an adaptation of “Macbeth” at the Geffen Playhouse. Instead, he’s been in self-isolation with his family in Denmark, working on his new company — Ill Kippers Productions, with writer Joe Derrick — and taking a break from his 30-year career as an actor.
Coster-Waldau talked to Variety about “The Silencing,” which opens in select theaters and on VOD on Aug.
