Sofia Mattsson seems to have a never-ending supply of subjects for talkative people to chew on, as she considers herself a passionate lover of language, culture and nationality. Born and raised in Sweden, where most of her extended family resides, Sofia started going to public school at an early age and pursued a degree in classics before graduating in history at the University of Minnesota. Her passion for language and learning eventually blossomed into a successful acting career on stage and off, and now she is cast as one of the main characters in her beloved Swedish television soap, LISA. She has managed to raise the bar on what modern actresses should look like by not only expanding on her physical appearance but also choosing a refreshing, modern look for her character, a role that requires a lot of skill and effort to play.
For someone who is committed to the role of being smart and sassy, Sofia Mattsson is certainly an excellent choice. However, it is unfortunately common for actors to over-identify with their nationality or ethnicity when trying to play an ethnicity other than their native one, and Sofia is no exception. In this film, which chronicles the life of a nursemaid in a small private practice in Stockholm, Sweden, Mattsson’s strong American accent manages to shine through, providing the viewer with yet another image of the actor’s strong British accent. The only problem with Sofia’s strong American accent is that, as is the case with many American accents, it tends to get garbled when she attempts to speak in English.
Sofia Mattsson’s strong British accent and beautiful looks have made her an international name, but what has made her most famous in her native country is her ability to use her beauty to overcome obstacles, both on the big and small screens. Her filmography includes such well-known films as “A Fish called Wanda”, “Bridget Jones Diary”, and “Sofia”, but her most popular role to date would have to be in the award-winning “Amelie” for which she won the Oscar for, which she also became the first ever foreign language movie winner. No matter where you go in Sweden, you will never miss the excellent performances that Sofia Mattsson provides. Her strong British accent and natural beauty make her the perfect choice as an actor/actress in Hollywood.
