Bodil / Best Supporting Actor
Winner of the Danish Film Prize Bodil in the category Best Supporting Actor (Bedste mandlige birolle) . The Association of Danish Film Critics and Screenwriters (Danish Filmmedarbejderforeningen ) has been presenting its awards to the best film productions and filmmakers at a gala in Copenhagen at the end of February and beginning of March every year since 1948 .
The most successful in this category was Nikolaj Lie Kaas (1992, 1999, 2003) who was able to triumph three times. The Dane is still the only actor who has won Bodil three times before his 30th birthday and is one of the most frequently honored actors, along with Frits Helmuth and Jesper Christensen (three times each for best leading actor and one for best supporting actor) .
In 2016, the German actor Louis Hofmann ( Unter dem Sand - The Promise of Freedom ) was victorious.
