Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, born in 1990 in the charming town of Svendborg, Denmark, began her on-screen journey with a standout role as a series regular in the Danish comedy “Park Road,” which aired on TV2 from 2009 to 2010. The show followed the humorous and heartfelt adventures of three orphaned siblings who relocate to the suburbs in an attempt to escape the clutches of vengeful gangsters. It enjoyed two successful seasons and later inspired a feature film released in 2012.
Following this early breakthrough, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina quickly established herself as a consistent presence on television. Over the next five years, she took on leading roles in no fewer than five different TV series—most of them produced for Danish audiences. Among these were notable projects like “1864” (DR1, 2014), a gripping historical drama laced with elements of fantasy and horror, directed by Ole Bornedal. She also appeared in Season 3 of the internationally acclaimed Nordic noir series “The Bridge” (SVT1/DR1, 2011–), further showcasing her range. Another significant role came in 2016 with the suspenseful thriller “Black Lake” (TV3), where Sarah-Sofie Boussnina once again demonstrated her ability to command attention in high-tension narratives.
In 2017, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina marked a major milestone in her career by joining the cast of “Knightfall,” a historical drama produced in the United States. This role represented her first appearance as a series regular in an American production, broadening her international profile. That same year, it was announced that she would take on a supporting role in the biblical drama “Mary Magdalene,” starring Rooney Mara in the titular role and Joaquin Phoenix portraying Jesus—a project that further highlighted the growing recognition of Sarah-Sofie Boussnina’s talent across global platforms.
Sarah-Sofie Boussnina has been part of several movies, but her highest rated film to date is The Absent One, which came out in 2014. On the other hand, one of her lower rated works includes The Birdcatcher, released in 2018. While Sarah-Sofie Boussnina has explored various roles throughout her career, these two films represent the extremes in terms of audience reception. Sarah-Sofie Boussnina’s performance in The Absent One received considerable praise, whereas The Birdcatcher didn’t quite resonate as strongly with viewers. Over the years, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina has continued to grow as an actress, but these two projects remain notable points in her filmography.
