University (Dallas, Texas). He is proficient in horseback riding,
speed-climbing, dancing, karate, and numerous nautical sports, and

Caribbean, playing the lead role in a musical comedy he helped write
for a theater on the island of Saint Martin.
Besides his acting career, Erik Svane has written a book, "La Bannière Étalée," as well as the script for a graphic novel series (drawn by Dan Greenberg), "Général Leonardo" (two volumes so far: "Au Service du Vatican" and "Croisade vers la Terre Sainte").

Queen Margrethe of Denmark with artist Thierry Capezzone, "Daisy--En Prinsesse i Danmark", and he is working on several screenplays, including a western, a biography of Abraham Lincoln, a romantic action movie set in 19th-century Brazil, and a fictional account of an American unit in Afghanistan after 9-11.
