Lisa Loven Kongsli, born on September twenty-third, nineteen seventy-nine, is a talented Norwegian actress who has made a significant mark in both stage and film acting since her debut in two thousand eight. Her early career featured notable roles in films such as Fatso, Knerten, and The Orheim Company, showcasing her versatility and depth as an actress.
In two thousand fourteen, Kongsli received critical acclaim for her performance as Ebba in Ruben Östlund's film Force Majeure, earning a nomination for Best Actress at the prestigious fiftieth Guldbagge Awards. This recognition solidified her status in the film industry and opened doors to more prominent roles.
Her television work includes a compelling portrayal of the prime minister's wife in the series Occupied, which aired in two thousand fifteen. Kongsli also ventured into the superhero genre, playing the Amazon warrior Menalippe in the blockbuster film Wonder Woman in two thousand seventeen, a role she reprised in Justice League and the director's cut, Zack Snyder's Justice League, later that same year.
In two thousand nineteen, she starred in the Danish film Giraffe, directed by Anna Sofie Hartmann, further expanding her repertoire. Most recently, in two thousand twenty-five, Kongsli took on the role of Edith in Solomamma, directed by Janicke Askevold. This film, which premiered in main competition at the seventy-eighth Locarno Film Festival, tells the story of a curiosity-driven journalist who, under false pretenses, connects with the anonymous sperm donor who fathered her young son.
