About Peder: American actor and overall thrill seeker Peder Lindell has had a stunning rise in the entertainment industry that has continued to collect momentum. This actor/aviator/daredevil launched into the professional world of entertainment at just eleven years old, starring as Billy Ray in the Jungle Theater's production of "On Golden Pond" in Minneapolis. This impressive debut led to his Broadway Reimagined performance in "Gypsy" at the Pantages Theater, earning him accolades from across the Broadway World as "a fine young actor.” Within the last year, Peder's career has reached new heights. Lindell has joined Disney's widely beloved franchise, "The Descendants," as Morgie, the son of Morgana Le Fay, in the highly anticipated film "The Descendants: The Rise of Red." He traveled to Montana to take on the groundbreaking role of Gus in the state's first queer skateboarding film, "Scraps," produced by Colton Underwood. Back in Los Angeles, he gripped audiences in the role of Jason in his university’s stage revival of "Bare: A Pop Opera.” Peder's talents extend far beyond the stage and screen. He took to the skies at just sixteen and is now an instrument-rated commercial pilot. He owns a Grumman Tiger prop plane, his beloved "sky convertible," which embodies his thrill-seeking nature.

His talent soon led to roles in operas such as "La Bohéme," "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and "Hansel und Gretel," with performances in iconic venues including Canterbury, Southwark, and Nidaros Cathedrals, as well as Carnegie Hall. A decade later, his return to Carnegie Hall underscored Peder's enduring passion and talent. Lindell's standout performance in "The Abominables" at the Children's Theater Company received critical acclaim from The New York Times, solidifying his reputation as a standout industry talent. Peder's film work includes "Out Of My Hands" and "Down The Drain," which premiered at the Catalina Film Festival 2021. His 2022 supporting actor nomination for "Dead Cell" and his role in the medieval fantasy series "Hidden Falls" showcased both his range and depth as a storyteller. Praised for his "impressive naturalism" by the St. Paul Pioneer Press and described as having "the chops and charisma to keep us on his side" by the Star Tribune, Peder Lindell is now based in Los Angeles, completing his bachelor's degree at Loyola Marymount University.
