his love for acting while studying drama at school. It was there he
learned the basics of acting, including the discipline, focus, and
teamwork needed to succeed in the business. Andersen participated in
many musical oriented plays and was fortunate to gain a lot of
experience with many big roles. Like his peers, he began auditioning
for film roles. At age 17, Andersen realised the difference between

continues to learn more and more about cameras due to his experience
shooting and directing short films. In addition, he learned dancing,
singing, sports, fencing and stunts.
