The Danish actor also plays in the series Bail, where he plays the role of government adviser Kasper Juul. Now he also wants to engage in politics in real life.
Asbæk has often spoken out against the strict refugee policy of the social-democratic minority government. He had, among other things, criticized the way in which the government of Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen deals with the situation of children of IS members in Syrian detention camps.
As a member, he wants to speak out from within against the party’s refugee policy, Asbæk wrote on Twitter late Wednesday evening. ‘Wish me luck. I will probably be a total fiasco, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.’
