Michiel Huisman

Michiel Huisman (born 18 July 1981) is a Dutch actor, musician and singer-songwriter born in Amstelveen, recognized for his roles in Dutch and international film and television projects. Huisman's music career began as the singer and guitarist for a Dutch band called Fontane, which released singles and was featured on movie soundtracks in the early 2000s. After the band split, he pursued a solo music career, releasing an album and singles. His acting career started with roles in the Dutch soap opera Goede tijden, slechte tijden (1998). He later appeared in Dutch films including Costa! (2001), Phileine Says Sorry (2003) and Black Book (2006), and in the Dutch TV series De co-assistent (2007–10) and Bloedverwanten (2010). Huisman's first international acting experience came in 2006, when he guest-starred in the British TV series Dalziel and Pascoe. Huisman played Sonny in HBO's Treme and replaced Ed Skrein as Daario Naharis in Game of Thrones, joining as a series regular. His filmography includes roles in films such as Wild (2014), The Ottoman Lieutenant (2017), The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (2018), and the Discovery Channel's miniseries Harley and the Davidsons. He appeared in The Haunting of Hill House (2018), The Flight Attendant (2020) and in 2022, he starred in the black ops military series Echo 3.
