Biography
Born in Lund in 1929. He studied acting at the Royal Dramatic Theater’s acting school in Stockholm. In 1955, he moved to Malmö, where he met Ingmar Bergman, becoming one of his favorite actors thanks to films like The Seventh Seal (1957), The Virgin Spring (1960) or Hour of the Wolf (1968).
Over the course of his career, he has worked with directors like Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese or Dario Argento, and his performances in The Exorcist (1973) and Pelle the Conqueror (1989) have made him an icon of world cinema, crossing genres and frontiers. Two of his latter roles were in Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) and the Game of Thrones series.
