Alex Høgh Andersen (born May 20, 1994) is a Danish actor. He is mainly known for the role of Ivar the Boneless in the Canadian-Irish historical drama television series Vikings.
Born and raised in a small town southwest of Copenhagen, Alex Hogh Andersen discovered his love for acting while studying drama at a school for young children between the age of 7 and 19. It was there he learned the basics of acting including the discipline, focus, and teamwork it takes to succeed in the business. Andersen participated in many musical oriented plays and was fortunate to gain a lot of experience with many big roles. As his peers began auditioning for film roles, Anderson at age 17 realized the difference between acting roles in front of an audience versus in front of a camera. This translated into Andersen’s work and he began auditioning and continuing to study Film and Media Studies at the University of Copenhagen.
When he is not acting, Andersen enjoys spending much of his time focusing on photography. He considers himself a visual minded person; he continues to learn more and more about cameras due to his experience shooting and directing short films. In addition he learned dancing, singing, sports, fencing and stunts.
Andersen also gives back when his has the chance to charities such as Unicef, Care Denmark, and Kræftensbekæmpelse (Fighting Cancer). He deeply relates to Fighting Cancer as his mother (Charlotte Høgh) was diagnosed with breast cancer years ago.
