Is there a connection between Dark (Netflix series) and Mads Mikkelsen?

At Dark, the two children of the Nielsen family who are disappearing are called Mads and Mikkel. Is there a connection to the actor Mads Mikkelsen? Didn't find anything on the internet.

A nice report https://www.google.com/...28886.html

This is a good article, but unfortunately it doesn't answer my question

That is probably a coincidence.

Could be an Easter egg because Oliver Masucci looks a lot like Mads.

They have to be the same person.

I'm finding out that rn. The resemblance is uncanny
