He is perhaps best known for his role in the 2005 thriller film King's Game, and has also appeared in many Danish TV series. He is also known for his role in the former musical/comedy group Ørkenens Sønner ("Sons of the Desert"),

Søren Louis Nielsen was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, on 16 October 1955, the son of school principal Louis Nielsen and secretary Birte Nielsen (born Pilmark). He grew up in Hvidovre, and took on his mother's maiden name at some point.

Pilmark graduated from the four-year course at the Aarhus Theatre Acting School in 1977.

Pilmark remained a member of the Aarhus Theatre company until 1980. He performed mostly in comedies and musicals, after his first stage performance being in Chicago in 1976. During his student years, along with Anders Bircow, Asger Reher, and Preben Kristensen, he was part of the cabaret group Barbershop Harmony, but he left the group after a year.

From 1981 to 1994 he was a member of the company of the Royal Danish Theatre. Over the course of his theatrical career, Pilmark has played a variety of roles in plays including Marx and Coca Cola (1981), Natten før skoven (1985), Der var engang (1987), Sparekassen (1986), Bunburry (1987), Mågen (1987), "Esther" (1989) and the title role in Richard III (1994). Pilmark also performed at Folketeatret; the Aveny Theatre; the Betty Nansen Theatre (Johannes in Ordet, 1991; Hamlet, 1992; Copenhagen, 2000); Østre Gasværk Teater (Miss Saigon in 1996); Gladsaxe Theatre (Trold kan tæmmes, 1999); and the Bellevue Theatre.

With Per Pallesen he created The Pallesen Pilmark Show, which toured in both in Asia and in the United States from 1984 to 1998. A TV version of the show, which was broadcast on DR, won the Silver Rose at the Rose d'Or Festival in 1985.

In 1991 Pilmark joined the musical/comedy group Ørkenens Sønner ("Sons of the Desert") together with Henrik Koefoed, Niels Olsen, and Asger Reher, who performed at the Bellevue Theatre for a number of years.
