Kenneth Wolf Haugen was born on June 19, 1989, in Fredrikstad, Norway.
Haugen developed an early interest in action and acting. At the age of 14, he began training in martial arts, starting with Shotokan Karate, then moving on to Jeet Kune Do and later Jiu-Jitsu. He is also an experienced fencer and archer.
He studied chemistry and physics in high school and later pursued criminology and forensic science at university before deciding to train as an actor and stunt performer. He made his acting debut in a lead role in a stage play about Johan Sebastian Welhaven and has since portrayed characters such as Asbjørn Moe in Språkshow and Count Dracula himself.
In 2016, Haugen transitioned to film and has since appeared in productions such as Last Man Down, Tenet, Heimebane, and Rekyl, among others. Today, he works full-time as an actor and stunt performer on both small and large productions, always ready for new adventures.
A multi-talented professional, Haugen never settled for a single facet of the industry. In addition to acting and performing stunts, he choreographs fight scenes and action sequences and works as a stunt coordinator. He is also a writer of poetry and screenplays, and has occasionally been hired to translate scripts and texts between Norwegian and English.
If you’re unsure whether Haugen can help with your project, chances are he knows someone who can. He is a member of Team ISA, a stunt team with over 30 members, and Snyperscope, a film collective with more than 50 actors across Scandinavia and the UK, as well as over 20 crew members in various roles.
Haugen began performing theatre in 2011 and transitioned to film in 2016, although he still appears on stage occasionally. When he entered the film industry, he also launched his career as a stunt performer, becoming professional in 2019 after completing a year at the International Stunt Academy in Tvedestrand, Norway.
Before switching to acting and stunts full-time, Haugen studied forensic science at Kingston University in London, England. His knowledge of the human body has proven invaluable in stunt work and in choreographing realistic movements and action scenes.
