[[Manon Rasmussen]] was the only crew member as a costume designer to collaborate with von Trier in all of his works (except ''[[Medea (1988 film)|Medea]]'' and ''[[The Idiots]]'') since ''[[The Element of Crime]]'' (1984). His first, but initial acting collaborator for ''[[The Element of Crime]]'' was [[:sv:Leif Magnusson|Leif Magnusson]], who appeared in his role as a hotel guest, yet continued to appear again in the last two films as different minor roles for his first trilogy until his acting retirement in the early 1990s. His main crew members and producer team has remained intact since [[Europa (1991 film)|''Europa'']].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001885/ |title=Lars von Trier |website=Internet Movie Database |access-date=27 July 2016 |archive-date=26 July 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160726153007/http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001885/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Many of his recurring actors have expressed their devotion<ref name="skarsgard">{{Cite web|url=https://thedissolve.com/features/interview/474-stellan-skarsgard-on-his-long-ongoing-collaboratio/|title=Stellan Skarsgård on his long, ongoing collaboration with Lars von Trier|website=The Dissolve|access-date=27 July 2016|archive-date=15 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160415011801/https://thedissolve.com/features/interview/474-stellan-skarsgard-on-his-long-ongoing-collaboratio/|url-status=live}}</ref> to von Trier.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/news/a7745/kirsten-dunst-on-lars-von-trier-feeling-free-32465/ |title=Kirsten Dunst on Lars von Trier & Feeling Free |date=11 November 2011 |access-date=27 July 2016 |archive-date=18 August 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160818165838/http://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/news/a7745/kirsten-dunst-on-lars-von-trier-feeling-free-32465/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://collider.com/jean-marc-barr-nymphomaniac-interview/ |title=Jean-Marc Barr Talks Lars von Trier's ''Nymphomaniac'' |website=[[Collider (website)|Collider]] |date=24 January 2013 |access-date=27 July 2016 |archive-date=14 August 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160814192218/http://collider.com/jean-marc-barr-nymphomaniac-interview/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.indiewire.com/2014/03/willem-dafoe-on-reuniting-with-wes-anderson-working-with-lars-von-trier-and-why-he-doesnt-want-to-be-famous-29310/ |title=Willem Dafoe on Reuniting With Wes Anderson, Working With Lars von Trier and Why He Doesn't Want to Be Famous |last=Smith |first=Nigel M. |date=6 March 2014 |access-date=27 July 2016 |archive-date=1 August 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160801232732/http://www.indiewire.com/2014/03/willem-dafoe-on-reuniting-with-wes-anderson-working-with-lars-von-trier-and-why-he-doesnt-want-to-be-famous-29310/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Citation |last=selinakyle |title=Charlie Rose – An Interview with Nicole Kidman |date=10 June 2012 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu1EGe_xPow | archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211030/yu1EGe_xPow| archive-date=2021-10-30|access-date=27 July 2016}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref name="Dunst">{{Citation |last=Anne Thompson |title=Kirsten Dunst 1 |date=16 November 2011 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_Fse0iexgQ |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211030/w_Fse0iexgQ |access-date=28 July 2016 |archive-date=2021-10-30}}{{cbignore}}</ref> European actors [[Jean-Marc Barr]], [[Udo Kier]], and [[Stellan Skarsgård]] have all appeared across several von Trier films.
