Sundwall Mine is only in the early stages of his film and television career, but he has already racked up a significant number of memorable and impressive performances. Born on October 23, 2001, Mina Sundwall began her career early, appearing in an episode of Celebrity Ghost Stories at 11 years old. This was followed by a two-year gap before she won two more roles, in A good marriage and Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. Since then, Sundwall has worked regularly in film and TV, even starring in some of their projects.
Sundwall had what is, compared to other actors debuting in the 2010s, an unusually classical path to success. With streaming services offering new movies and TV shows at an almost unsustainable rate, young actors find themselves thrust into the spotlight after just one or two performances. Sundwall is a little different. She started at a young age, appearing in small roles on network shows. As the years went by, she became involved in bigger and bigger roles. It seems like a slow movement, but Powerful start to your career and bodes well for the future.

This is Sundwall's standout role. Like Penny, Sundwall is adventurous and rebellious, eager to escape her family's shelter to explore the planet despite protests.. It's a low-key series that's a joy to watch because of how self-contained and simple the seemingly complex story is. Sundwall in particular is excellent. The energy she brings to the character and the series helps to brighten up some of the dragging episodes.
