Christopher Schonning

Christopher Schonning is a British-Swedish Screen Actor based in Helsingborg, trained at Arts Educational Schools London & qualified through the British Stunt Register. With three decades of professional screen work behind him, he moves fluently between UK & Nordic Productions as a native speaker of both English & Swedish, delivering English, American, Scandinavian & Swedish accents without dialect coaching.

His television work spans the major British broadcasters, including ITV, BBC, Channel 4 & Sky, with recurring & supporting roles in Drama Series such as Ultimate Force, Kavanagh QC, Casualty & Thieftakers. On Film he has played Lead Roles in Angry & Sentence, alongside credits in The Fourth Angel & A Kind of Hush.

What makes Christopher distinctive is range across formats. He has led international Commercial campaigns for brands including HSBC, Aston Martin, Infiniti & Arm & Hammer, & he carried the Lead Motion Capture Role of Haggard across DICE’s Battlefield: Bad Company & Battlefield: Bad Company 2, a discipline very few Actors have genuine credited experience in.

As a former professional Film & TV Stuntman, with work on Kingsman, Game of Thrones, Holmes & Watson, SS-GB, The Last Vermeer & Arn: The Knight Templar, he brings real physical capability rather than approximation. Stunt driving, horse riding, sword fighting, kickboxing, Thai boxing, jiu jitsu, skiing & scuba are all verified skills, which means Action Productions get an Actor who performs the work rather than a performer who needs doubling on every beat.

He is also an award winning Writer & Director, taking the 2018 award for his Short Film Choice. Regret., & a professional Musician on guitar, bass, drums & percussion, with a baritone singing range. That combination makes him a natural fit for Productions where music, character & physicality intersect.

Christopher holds working permits for the United Kingdom, the EU-27, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway & Sweden, removing the administrative friction that often complicates cross-border casting in Europe. He is fully available for National & International Productions & is Production-ready.
