Liv Hansen
Danish actress and illustrator
about
I’m Liv Hansen, a Danish actress, voice artist, and illustrator based in Copenhagen. My work centers on mood, nostalgic detail, and character-driven storytelling.
I trained at the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute in Los Angeles and have worked across continents, with screen roles in the UK, Canada, and Europe - including the British crime drama Caught In Between (2025) and the upcoming sci-fi feature A Universe Apart (2026). My voice work spans narrative, ADR, and commercial projects in both American English and Danish. [See more about my film and voice work.]
Alongside acting, I’m a visual artist. My drawings are shaped by Danish life between the 1940s and 1980s - rural settings, atmospheric landscapes, and imagined scenes from a past that still feels close. I work primarily in colored pencil, and have recently been exploring gouache and digital illustration.
Raised in a family of artists and musicians, I’ve always been drawn to quiet storytelling - whether I’m on set, in a voice booth, or sketching a scene from memory or imagination.
My work bridges Nordic and international influences, shaped by a creative journey through Los Angeles, London, Vancouver, and rural California.
