UW-Madison grad Hans Obma takes movie to Cannes Film Festival

The University of Wisconsin-Madison graduate has made his gift with other languages and accents a selling point in his career in Hollywood as a film and television actor. He says on his Instagram page that he specializes in “foreigners, villains and crazy people.” He’s played a German engineer on “Better Call Saul,” a French war hero on “TURN: Washington’s Spies” and a Norwegian candy smuggler on Netflix’s “Grace & Frankie.”
