Kristoffer Polaha Facts

In 2016, he was cast as Jodie King in the short drama film, Frontman, for which he received the Jury Award for “Best Actor” at the Seattle Shorts Film Festival.

He appeared as the Handsome Man in Wonder Woman 1984, a 2020 superhero film based on the DC Comics character Wonder Woman. The lead cast of the film included Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal, Robin Wright, and Connie Nielsen.

Once, Kristoffer Polaha revealed how he fell away from his faith but a death-defying experience made him believe again.

When asked in a 2019 interview what he would like to be remembered for, Polaha replied: “So I’m an actor, and if an audience is going to remember me, I’d kind of like to be in the same boat as Jimmy Stewart, Tom Hanks…these guys who are really great at their craft but who’ve also made people feel really good on a human level. Even Audrey Hepburn was somebody who – wouldn’t it be great to have these amazing successes as an actor so that aspect of your life was a given, but then the stories also include how kind they are. Just what good people they were. And I would love that to be my legacy.”

In June 2023, Kristoffer gave the graduation commencement speech at Oaks Christian School.
