The Finnish born actress Emilia Uutinen works in Spain and is known for her roles in Spanish television and film industry.
She was introduced in theatre, music and dance already in her home country, Finland, from where she moved to Spain at the age of twenty in order to course the prestigious Royal Academy of Performing Arts of Madrid (RESAD). She tells us the theater education in Spain was conscientious and thorough, but well preparing. She spent four years studying from nine to nine and got to work in two movies at the same time.
In her beginnings she worked as dancer in Ramón Salazar’s “20 Centimeters” in 2004 and appeared as the beautiful hostess in Isidro Ortiz’s science fiction action movie “Somne” in 2005.
At that time she was dedicated also to the theater, acting in plays by Tennessee Williams, August Strindberg, William Shakespeare, Calderón or Lope de Vega and in fact she declares herself to be a great fan of Classical Spanish theater. She says acting is a passion and a vocation for her, and when asked whether she prefers theater or film acting, her response is clear:
“I couldn’t just choose one of them. They are two different techniques; in theater the communication with the audience is something unique, whereas camera acting is very subtle and natural. I’m very fond of both theatre and movies. Maybe lately I’ve been more passionate about filmmaking. I can’t stop watching films and learning from them. I just love movies.”

She.appeared also on the weekly hit series “Brothers and Detectives” and played the main role on a fiction based music video “Invocating” that tells the story of a Londoner composer and pianist.

In 2010 Emilia Uutinen was tempted again by the film industry by shooting “An Almost Perfect World” (Un Mundo Casi Perfecto) from the Basque directors and scriptwriters Esteban and José Miguel Ibarretxe (“¡Sabotage!”).
“It was great shooting in the Basque Country. The nature is beautiful and I got to know some really nice people there. And the food is great!”
The movie was presented at the Málaga Spanish Film Festival on 2011 and had its premiere in the month of July this year. Below a video from the red carpet of the Málaga Film Festival.
In this short she plays the character of a mother who looks after her small son in an Amish alike community where old people are condemned to be sacrificed. The actress tells us it feels natural to act in many languages:
“Acting in English or in French is very natural to me because I’ve spoken those languages since I was a child. Finnish is my mother tongue, Spanish my home tongue and I also speak fluent Swedish.”

And asking her about her future, she tells us she can be seen soon in an intervention in the Spanish sitcom hit series "Aida", one of the biggest TV phenomena in Spain.
We wish all the best to the career of this Nordic actress, who actually is very Spanish. We are sure, she will be hugely successful.
