Thor Knai was born Torbjorn Knai in Tromso, Norway. The northernmost city in the world.
His father was in the Norwegian Air Force and his mother an entrepreneur. At 15, his mother found a casting call for a mini-series (Ansur, 1999). He later starred in high school cabarets and his ensemble won "Best High School Cabaret" in 2001, which spurred him into pursuing a career in acting.
Thor went on to join the Norwegian Army. He became Squad leader of a Storm unit (mechanized infantry) and served with NATO (ISAF-7) in Kabul, Afghanistan as a Combat Medic in 2005.
After his tour of duty, he studied acting at the New York Film Academy at Universal Studios in Los Angeles. He returned to Norway to study Law and Psychology at the University of Oslo while acting/modeling around Europe and Asia. Thor has since been granted permanent residency in the US for "Extraordinary Ability" (EB-1) and continues to live and work in Los Angeles, California.
