Moller Jorgensen started Art Management in 1999 with Mads Mikkelsen as the main attraction. He quickly got a number of big names in the fold, was the king of the Danish agent activity and is respected for his solid international networks.
Ulrich Moller Jorgensen is the tough boys agent, and he has for many years represented Zlatko Buric, Dejan Cukic, Mikael Persbrandt and musician Jesper “Joker” Dahl. Ulrich Moller Jorgensen is not for everyone. In 2006 he suffered a serious defeat, as several of his clients said goodbye to the company to be included in the new Lindberg Management. Since then, Sidse Babett Knudsen has also left the store.
Lately, however, the agent put a few hits in by signing with Pilou Asbæk, Soren Pilmark and Cyron Melville. Some are talking about a “Mads Mikkelsen” effect and ask questions about how much time Ulrich Moller Jorgensen gives to his new names in the middle of the Circus Mikkelsen.
Mads Mikkelsen continues to be his undisputed gold bird. Moller Jorgensen has played an important role for the actor’s success, but many think that the manager seems to confuse Mads Mikkelsen’s star status with his own. The country’s culture journalists roll eyes at the mere name of Ulrich, described as rude and arrogant. (article)(x)(x)(x)
