Connie Inge-Lise Nielsen (born July 3, 1965) is a Danish actress. Nielsen was born in Copenhagen, Denmark. At the age of ten, Nielsen moved with her family to a small seaside village named Elling in Frederikshavn. Her first acting experience came when she was fifteen years old, in a cabaret written by her mother. When she turned eighteen, she traveled to Paris, Rome, Milan, South Africa and New York in order to pursue her acting career. She studied and worked to support herself during her travels. After a few minor roles, Nielsen's big break came in 1997 with the movie Devil's Advocate, starring Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves. In 2000, she portrayed Princess Lucilla in Ridley Scott's Academy Award-winning Gladiator (2000) where she starred opposite Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix. She has since starred in a few notable American films, including Mission to Mars (2000), One Hour Photo (2002), The Hunted (2003) and Basic (2003). In 2004, she starred in the Danish movie, Brodre, directed by Susanne Bier. As of June 2006, Nielsen is set to appear in several episodes of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit as a detective. She filled in for Mariska Hargitay who was on maternity leave at the time of taping. Nielsen has a son named Sebastian, with whom she now lives in New York. She is currently dating Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich. In addition to English and her native Danish, Nielsen speaks fluent French, German and Italian. She is also a trained singer and dancer. Her looks have been compared to those of Diane Lane, and Saffron Burrows.
