Originally from Norway, Thor Knai served in Afghanistan with NATO forces in 2005, before modeling in Europe and Asia and eventually moving to Hollywood. Over the years, he has built a steady career in film and television, most recently appearing in Netflix's Rebel Moon Parts 1 & 2, directed by Zack Snyder, and Vince Gilligan's Pluribus series on Apple TV.

Thor has made guest appearances on plenty of popular TV shows, including Reign, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, and Bones. Thor's upcoming projects include the films Street Smart, directed by Catherine Hardwicke, and The Wrong Girls, a comedy starring Kristen Stewart.

Beyond acting, Thor is an avid gamer. He runs professional Dungeons & Dragons sessions at castles in the U.K. and for some of Hollywood's most influential players. He created and published his own official Dungeons & Dragons board game in 2023.

The Knai name is pre-Viking Norse, from a region of Norway long associated with the Kings of old, and even mentioned in the collected folk-tales of Norway (Asbjørnsen & Moe) as a family with Hulder-blood (fey-blood).
