Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is best known as Jaime Lannister the Kingslayer on the fantasy hit “Game of Thrones” from David Benioff, D. B. Weiss, and author George R. R. Martin. His performance on the award-winning HBO series, now launching its buzzy final season, has earned him SAG and Emmy nominations. Nikolaj also advocates for gender equality and climate change awareness as an ambassador for the United Nations Development Programme, and has starred in movies, TV series, and stage productions in and outside his native Denmark. He has plenty of insights on how to navigate theater training, auditions and meetings, and a career that’s full of rejection.
