Talk:Peter Stormare

Nationality

Since when is he an American citizen? Source? I thought the USA didn't allow dual citizenship for naturalised citizens since they have to swear an oath of loyalty. Dual citizenship is only recognised if you're born with dual citizenship or if you get a second citizenship as a US citizen (and keep quiet about it). So what's going on here? Do they make exceptions for famous people? --Lilyserbia (talk) 22:54, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

I checked with the official Swedish population registry. It currently lists him as a Swedish citizen. But it also lists him as emigrated to USA.

The peoples register does not and I think would not indicate if he has any additional citizenships than Swedish. I know from experience that it is perfectly possible that he today is a US citizen but simply has forgotten to update his data in the Swedish population registry. That is pretty common. Most countries don't inform your old country when you become a citizen.

So unfortunately my check with the Swedish population registry doesn't prove anything. But anyway, what citizenship he has isn't very interesting to know, and the article currently doesn't say anything about it so that is okay.

My understanding of citizenship rules is that while you are required to swear an oath, that's not the same as formally filling out the paperwork to formally renounce your citizenship in another country. My grandfather became a US citizen, for example, but he never formally STOPPED being a Canadian citizen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AndrewThespis (talk • contribs) 15:03, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Other

He plays Lucifer/Satan (Lou - as Constantine calls him). Satan's son is a computer generated thingie...

TNT Movie Purgatory

Peter is in the TV movie "Purgatory" as Cavin Guthrie. He's fourth-billed behind Sam Shepard, Eric Roberts, and Randy Quaid. I don't see it listed anywhere. I'd change the page if I knew how.

unpimp my ride

This is rather insignificant, but I think the phrase "German engineering in da house, y'all" might be in da house, ja

you're right

it is, ja.

das ist gut, mein herr ^_^

Slippery Pete

No mention of his appearance on Seinfeld?? ---i just added it in..just watched the frogger last night - pirate16

VW commercials

i thought his name was V Dub...not "Wolfgang"

I don't know about the TV ads, but the in radio ads, there's a character named "Wolfgang". He goes to a car dealer, takes a car for a test drive, gets dissatisfied with the car, then demands "Take me to a Volkwagen dealer."

Place of birth

It should be noted that the Swedish Film Industry website (which I would consider a superior source for a Swedish actor; compared to the likes of IMDb, Hollywood.com, etc.) gives Kumla as his place of birth, as does Swedish Wikipedia; both state that his family soon moved to Arbrå, where he spent most of his childhood (links in Swedish, but this should be apparent enough). --Anshelm '77 01:12, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

The SFI site also gives his entire birth name as Rolf Peter Ingvar Storm (note that IMDb has the names in a different order). --Anshelm '77 20:17, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

I checked with the official Swedish population registry. As far as I can see the current data in the article is correct, apart from his parents' names which were very wrong. Here's the details:

There is currently registered a "Rolf Peter Ingvar Stormare" born 27 August 1953 in Kumla, Sweden. He is currently a Swedish citizen. The population registry lists him as emigrated to USA.

He is the only person with the family name "Stormare" in the Swedish population registry and most of the other data agrees, so that should be the right "Peter Stormare".

The official order of his given names are currently "Rolf Peter Ingvar". "Peter" is registered as his main forename.

The official population registry does not indicate if and when he changed any of his given names or family name, that info is kept in other registers. But his father's family name is registered as "Storm".

In the article his mother had an Italian given name and family name, and his father had an Italian given name. That is incorrect, both parents have very Swedish given names. I will remove both parents' names from the article and not add the correct names since I think that is unnecessary data.

The peoples register does not and I think would not indicate if he has any additional citizenships than Swedish. I know from experience that it is perfectly possible that he today is a US citizen but simply has forgotten to update his data in the Swedish population registry. That is pretty common. Most countries don't inform your old country when you become a citizen.

Since he was born before the peoples registry was computerised they could not see when he moved from Kumla. For that we would have to dig manually into old paper registers.

Million Dollar Hotel

He also played "Dixie" in "Million Dollar Hotel" (2000)--quite possibly his best acting job to date--a must-see (as a film, but particularly to see Stormare!

Prison Break Spoiler

No spoiler warning on the prison break revelation, thanks a bunch... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.42.169.206 (talk) 20:02, 28 January 2007 (UTC).

Jurassic park

Just a thing that could be put in the trivia section. When Peter Stormare leaves the rest of the group in J.P. for a toilet visit. He looses his balance in the djungel, he then says a phrase in swedish. I don't remeber exactly what.

Yeah he says: Fan i helvetes jävlar.

This guy looks so much like Massimo Ambrosini Mallerd (talk) 12:01, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

TV Shows Listed Under Movies

Somebody needs to go through and move the tv series to their appropriate list. I quickly saw Entourage and Tim and Eric Awesome Show under "Films". --greek lamb (talk) 07:29, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Stormare (citation needed)?!

I'm not really sure on the english grammatical terms, but that "-are" is indefinate ("one who" not "the one who") and causative("storms" rather than "will storm" or "has stormed") is just a fact of Swedish grammar. I'm not sure if they want that citation to be to something like http://www.lysator.liu.se/language/Languages/Swedish/Grammar.html or if they're just messing around with that one..? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.96.129.215 (talk) 07:23, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

I agree, that doesn't need a reference. I will remove the [citation needed] tag.

Swedish is my native tongue, and I also speak fairly good English. Swedish "stormare" translates exactly to English "stormer", and that is obvious to anyone who speaks both languages. The translation is correct both in grammatical form and in meaning of the word. (But just to make sure I did some checking in some dictionaries, it checks out as correct.)

For comparison, here are some different grammatical forms (English = Swedish):

• Storm = Storm
• A storm = En storm
• The storm = Stormen
• To storm = Att storma
• Have stormed = Har stormat
• Storms = Stormar
• He/she/it storms = Han/hon/det stormar
• Several storms = Flera stormar
• The storms = Stormarna
• Stormer (one who storms) = Stormare (en som stormar)
• A stormer = En stormare
• The stormer = Stormaren
• Several stormers = Flera stormare

Note that "storms = stormar" has at least three meanings I can think of: That it currently blows hard, or several storms, or currently attacking a stronghold. It has those three meanings in both Swedish and English. In the form "stormer = stormare" it means "one who attacks fiercely".

Stormare's role in Lindemann?

Peter Stormare has now appeared in two music videos for the metal group Lindemann. Furthermore, it is possible that he is a performing musician for the group, as he is depicted as such in one of them and is known as a musician himself. How about a mention for this in the article? 86.7.223.84 (talk) 05:29, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

Extensive reworking

This article is in dire need of extensive reworking. For a well-known actor with a plethora of appearances and roles, his career section is woefully inadequate. The Big Lebowski followed by Fargo are the things for which he is best known and they predate everything in his acting career section! It's hard to nitpick with this page because there is so little here, but there has to be more. This page is literally useless in its current form.2601:182:4381:E60:E5E1:E128:563D:A7BF (talk) 03:14, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
