==History==
Rolf Peter Ingvar Storm was born in Kumla on August 27, 1953. Soon after, his family moved to Arbrå. He changed his surname when he discovered he shared it with a senior student at an acting academy. Like "storm" (which has the same meaning in Swedish and English), stormare is a Swedish word meaning "stormer". Before settling on Stormare, he briefly contemplated changing his name to Retep Mrots, which is "Peter Storm" backwards.
He played Gaear Grimsrud in the film Fargo (1996) and John Abruzzi in the television series Prison Break (2005–2007). He has appeared in films including The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997), Playing God (1997), The Big Lebowski (1998), Armageddon (1998), 8mm (1999), Dancer in the Dark (2000), Windtalkers (2002), Minority Report (2002), Bad Boys II (2003), Constantine (2005), and 22 Jump Street (2014), and the video games Destiny (2014), Until Dawn (2015), and Destiny 2 (2017). In 2017, he played the part of Czernobog on the Starz series American Gods. He played the vampire Godbrand in the Netflix animated series Castlevania.
After Bono of U2 heard some of Stormare's music, he encouraged Stormare to make an album. In 2002, Stormare released his first album, Dallerpölsa och småfåglar. He plays in a band called Blonde from Fargo and runs a record label called StormVox. He appeared in the music video of the song "Uprising" by the Swedish power metal band Sabaton. He appeared in the clips "Steh Auf" and "Frau & Mann" of metal project Lindemann.
