Angunnguaq Larsen is a Greenlandic actor and musician.[2]

Larsen plays Mikael in Nuummioq, Greenland's first feature film.[3][4] In 2018, he co-starred in Anori, a film based on Greenlandic myths. It was the first Greenlandic feature film by a female director.[5]

In the 2010 Danish series Borgen, Larsen played the fictitious Prime Minister of Greenland Jens Enok Berthelsen. When a new series was announced in 2021, Larsen was again included in the cast.[6]

Larsen appeared in 2018 Danish documentary Lykkelænder (The Raven and the Seagull).[7]

Larsen plays the role of a local police chief, Enok Lynge, in the Swedish/Icelandic television series, Thin Ice.[2] Vogue highlighted Larsen's role and described the series as maintaining "balance between earnest political messaging and escapist entertainment [that] is carefully maintained, and immensely satisfying".[8] His performance earned him a male leading role nomination in Iceland's 2021 Edda Awards.[9]

In addition to his acting, Larsen works as the sound technician for Katuaq, the cultural and performing arts centre in Greenland's capital, Nuuk.[10]

Larsen is married with three daughters, and lives in Greenland.[2]
