About me

View profile
I am Thomas Gullestad, a Norwegian actor and musician, best known for my transition from the music industry to acting. My breakthrough role came in The 12th Man (2017), where I portrayed Jan Baalsrud, a Norwegian war hero who escaped the Nazis in World War II. This physically demanding role, which required extreme weight loss and intense endurance, earned critical acclaim and established me as a serious actor.

Since then, I have continued to explore diverse roles in film and television. I starred in the Netflix horror-thriller Cadaver(2020), a dystopian film that blends psychological tension with eerie storytelling. 
Additionally, I played the main part in the comedy series Oljefondet on Max, bringing humor and satire to the financial world. 
I was also supporting actor in the drama film Kjærlighet, that was in the main competition of the Venice film festival in 2024.


Before my acting career, I was widely known as “Fingern” in the Norwegian rap group Klovner i Kamp, which won the Spellemann Award(equivalent to us Grammys.
My role in the group is producer, dj and rapper/singer

My very first endeavor into the world of music, was turntableism. The more instrumental/technical approach to dj'ing. Won the Norwegian championships in 2001.

I've also played nearly 1000 gigs as a club and event dj.

Lived in Los Angeles from '06-'08 living of dj'ing in clubs.
