Jorma Tommila (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈjo̞rmɑ ˈtomːilɑ]; born 1959) is a Finnish actor. He won the Jussi Award for Best Actor in 1997 and played Aatami Korpi in the film Sisu (2022).

Early and personal life

Tommila was born in Rauma, Finland and spent his youth in Kiukainen. His father died when Jorma was four years old, after suffering from injuries to his lungs in World War II. Tommila was raised by his mother, and his older sister Kielo Tommila is also an actress. He lives with his family in Vaasa.[1] He is married to actress Ida Helander-Tommila, the sister of director Jalmari Helander.[2] He is the father of Onni Tommila, who is also an actor.[3]

Career

Whilst at Helsinki Theatre Academy in 1987, Tommila was one of four founding members of Jumalan teatteri (God's Theater), a Finnish theater group that made experimental and radical stage art, their performances including full frontal nudity, the setting off of fire extinguishers, and the performers throwing faeces into the crowd.[4] The four were arrested and fined, and given suspended prison sentences. They were also expelled from the academy, the expulsion prompting protests from fellow students.[5]

In 1997, Tommila won the Jussi Award for Best Actor for his role in the film The Christmas Party, directed by his God Theatre's fellow founder Jari Halonen.[6]

Tommila's character in the film Sisu, filmed in Lapland with a budget of €6 million, has been compared with Rambo (played by Sylvester Stallone) in the 1982 film,[7] and with John Wick (played by Keanu Reeves).[8] He has also been described as a “new action cinema icon”.[9] Tommila portrays Aatami Korpi, an ex-commando and gold prospector who strikes gold but has his bounty stolen by Nazi soldiers. Korpi, with courage and "unimaginable determination in the face of overwhelming odds", becomes "a one-man death squad who will go to outrageous lengths to get his gold back – even if it means killing every last Nazi in his path."[10] For the role Tommila won the award for best actor at the Sitges Film Festival in 2022.[11][12]
